Can anyone tell or confirm that Galvin is Mitchel Moses cousin, just thought I heard it somewhere like Kayo

Think you maybe mixing it up a wee bit, Mitchell Moses is Galvins agent Isaac Moses cousin.

Punishment - he's being paid considerably more than other players at that level. He journey to that grade reflects his actual performances - once the allure of having to bend to his whims has worn off.

I'm not concerned at all at about how Galvin feels about it. I'm more referring to the moral and perspectives of the other blokes in reserve grade or Maggie's 1st grade or what ever it isnt that gets shunted for a bloke that doesn't want to wear the jersey. Perhaps my words are failing my personal philosophy here.
I still think 18th man for the rest of his contract is the best approach. Still in first grade with 0 game time so 0 development for a natural talent that will be trying to flog us for the next 15 years

Happy to swap Galvin for Hopgood. Very good lock and SOO player

 

[SwervinMervin]

How much money is the kid on this year and next? if it is only 250k i say play him in Reggies and teach everyone a lesson.

I think it is 250k this year and 350k next. Cheap for a backup half. In the current market you couldn’t get that value anywhere.

The only people i have heard who are related to Moses are the flog Moses who played for us and Benny Elias who played for the Tigers

A small dose of reality. How many 18 or 19 year olds are earning $250K a year to play a sport. Lachie, back in ancient times I was playing Rugby, going to Uni part time and had a full time job and that was the norm. Get a grip young man and realise that you are leading a blessed existence!

Reality observation! Does Benji recall L Galvin if Luai gets injured before Latu Fainu returns from his broken thumb? After the past 3 Wooden Spoons, WINNING is all I care about and playing our best 17 players (still contracted to the club) precedes the club standing their ground. Get Lachie, Benji and the team together and seek his commitment that he will give 100% over the next 18 months before he leaves. Wests Tigers supporters have suffered for 14 long years and whilst he is on the Tigers books then play him (even if it is at lock-forward) and Latu Fainu at 5/8. Breath in and then breath out Tiger supporters but surely we all want to finally make the play-offs and Galvin is a great young player who needs to be in the top 17.

 

[upthetigers]

most importantly, this means Naden and Laulili'i will be playing first grade this week.

Be disciplined Naden, don't let emotions get the best of you!

Man just wait on the half recruitment stuff imo . AD will do a job for the next month , and I’m highly confident Fainu will prove to be every bit as good as Galvin if not more .
Galvin screams “good stats bad team guy” . Like I said earlier today , if the games we won which isn’t many over the last 2 years how many of them were down to how amazing Galvin was ? Maybe the line break to put Bula over game . But who’s to say we don’t win that game anyway .
He will be a generational forward when he moves there , now he’s like an over hyped Cross between Campese and Curtis Sironen .

Giving off Hastings vibes no one will want to play with him!!

You'd have to be pretty stoopid to let go of J Preston. As a club.

That depends how desperate bulbous eyed goldfish Gould is to get him, at the moment he's carry on like he's a love child.

Galvin shouldn't see first grade again.

if Luai is injured before Latu returns, it's Jack Bird to 6.

If Bird or Doueihi get injured, Api to 7, Doueihi 6 and TDS at 9 with Hope off the bench.

Plenty of choice. Even Naden can fill in at 6 or 7.

No point getting rid of him unless we get a good player in return. A great 2nd rower is what we need

The old adage a Champion team will always beat a team of champions and this is an instance where the team is better off this week without a player that is distracting from the team effort because of a selfish and disrespectful agenda that the experienced leadership within the team felt strongly enough to front the coach and say they don’t want to play with him.. this rarely happens but they must have good reason to do it .. I’m happy to respect the opinions of the multiple grand final winning and origin winning players

Galvin to Eels, Brown to Knights, KPP to Tigers this season … is Richo plotting in the background? Paul Kent thinks something like this could happen with Galvin to Eels according to his source.

That sounds like a Pascoe deal where we get the nobody.

There is a world where we would be the big winner in this scenario.
