Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

This is the big advantage of having an experienced operator such as Richo as our CEO, the player managers try and play us and have been very successful in doing so in the past, but Richo is on the front foot to ensure the whole rugby league world knows how it’s being played out from a Wests Tigers point of view.
One thing I will say is we should all really take a deep breath, put two and two together and realise there is probably more to the story from Lachie Galvin’s point of view.

Suspect I Moses was attempting to repeat the M Moses experience via its bidding the price up
Richo saw it coming

WTF is right ..

Could you imagine the odds, end of last year, of DCE ending up at Tigers for 2026 to partner Luai. Would have been a million to one.

Still probably 1000/1, but much less than a million.

No one here is naive enough to think that there hasn't been unofficial offers made without the paperwork.

This is the salary cap Rorting

100%. You don't turn down $1M per year for 5 years unless you are very confident you have as good or better offer incoming. Nobody who isn't already a billionaire walks away from $5M guaranteed.

For once the NRL360 - Anasta, Tallis and Rothfield are all backing us and were complimentary of the club

I think it time for Lachie to develop his game in NSW Cup, it doesnt effect our cap and sends a great message to the players

Anasta is pro-Benji, has been ever since he played for Tigers.

 

[jirskyr]

proud of the club today
i have always been on team fainu anyway

a taylan update, club has asked him to go through a rehab course before sitting down to discuss a contract, he is currently receiving treatment

I didn't know there was rehab for being a twat.

All in on Latu stuff this little cretin, give Latu the same opportunities Galvin has had to shine and see how he goes.
Stick Galvin in reserves make a stand draw a line in the sand, all these excuses getting made for him such as he's only 19 ect ect its the people behind him that are doing the talking. Play reggies do your time watch Latu take your spot and keep crying in the media.

Just to round off the day - I can't believe we've just announced one of our best ever prospects leaving, yet still feel so optimistic for the future.

In the past something like this would absolutely deflate us, and piss me right off.

Not today.

Thanks Richo.

 

[Kelce68]

If its for next year DCE is a free agent isnt he?

The trade has to be for Olakau'atu or its a thanks no thanks. Lachie can play flegg or massey.

Manly want him for '26?

We'll have Bullemor and Koula thanks.

If Galvin was just announced to be leaving I would have been disappointed but would have wished him well. But now all the panning of Benji has turned him from one of my favourite players to someone I hate. Even if it’s not from him directly he’s letting his manager do this and his father wouldn’t even answer a call from the club.
Absolutely disgraceful.

Give him a chance to call the coaching stuff media BS before stringing him up. We all know how a Tigers story can get beat up.

I know this is not the Galvin thread but yep, this has really dirtied his name.

Benji is loved and respected.
He's not a veteran coach and is developing in this role.
If this comment is true (or not, for that matter, its coming from LG or some one at camp, yes, Moses) is very disrespectful in this situation as Benji has done everything he possibly can for Galvin.

Isaac Moses likes having his name under the spotlight?

Because this has all been bad press for him and Galvin as far as I've seen.

Proof the boys are off him. TDS will re-sign with us.

Photo please?

 

[Demps]

Photo please?

Cliffs:

- They're warming up
- TDS looks distracted or "ignoring"
- Galvin looks happy
- Galvin reaches out to kinda dap him up / pat him on the back
- TDS appears to brush it and looks away
- Galvin looks back at him and kinda shrugs it off

Isaac Moses is a blight on the game.

How can we ensure there will be no issues with any of our other Cove Agency clients such as Bula after the way this is panning out ?

I'd be in all their ears telling them if their manager gave a toss about them he wouldn't be ripping their teammates away for money. I'd do everything I could to get them away from Cove. Then I'd blacklist them.

TDS could of been focusing on his warm up Not enough evidence imo on the footage I watched

The worst part about this is that it will be a topic in the media for as long as he sticks around.

Good to get on the front foot early in the season and say it's done, but it won't stop the speculation around the team.

I hope it doesn't impact our season.

Benji, Api, Luai & Richo have to play with as straight a bat as possible. There will be questions, every week, about Galvin.

Don't bite. Dictate the narrative. Talk about the results.

Winning a few would help.

Eels & Dragons over the next 3 weeks gives us the chance to bury the story a little. A win against the Sharks would be very nice.

“We don’t discuss recruitment or retention, thankyou”

Benji is good with the media. He won't have trouble shutting down the comments.

Keep it all about the games.

We have 3 winnable games in a row. Actually winning will make it a lot easier.
