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

Gotta be aiming higher than Pearce-Paul now

If he wants to go to Canterbury, the deal is Kikau or Preston, and we’ll take either of Morrin or Curran too to accommodate the cap room for the million dollar man.

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.

Might be possible but don't get him going to Parra, they have a rookie coach and they are performing like dogshit, why would you want to go there, there is a big rebuild needed.

 

[Tom Shines]

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

Pascoe never got anybody

 

[BAGNF05]

Pascoe never got anybody

He would release players for free then upgrade development players.

Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon is NOT a convicted Rapist.

Maybe Col, but he is an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, along with found insurrectionist. Semantics.

He looks good in that jersey, someone should send it Richo, make him a member.

Not bad, but it would be nice if somehow end up with Zac Lomax and KPP in a trade for Galvin this season ?
Keep in mind it was reported that Lomax signed with the Eels for under 700k which I think is value for a big body outside back with freakish aerial ability and most importantly a gun goal kicker.
Even if he played on the wing with Skelton to the centres and Doueihi and Latu battling it out to be our starting 5/8.
Two big mobile bodies would make us a much more formidable lineup and add significant depth.

The only way forward for Galvin at the club is if he fronts the playing group and speaks authentically to them that whilst he won't be there in '27, he is committed to putting in 110% with them and is focused on being the best team mate he can be. That needs to happen today!

Nice theory, but would you trust him to put in 101%. I wouldn't.
He would just bleed Luai and Benji of their experience on how to make himself a better player to come back and bight us on the arse.
He has made his decision over some time, not overnight, so will have to play the cards WT deal him.
Not a baby anymore, almost 20 now.
I believe he has a deal in the pipeline, but in shock of the WT and teams reaction; and possible consequences.

Be optimistic, he’s brought the squad together and building a culture of loyalty to the badge even if he doesn’t mean to or want to. Boys like tighter than ever and as richo said, we move on

With Makasini almost ready to join the team, Doueihi and starford playing well and Naden training well and reports of us telling Taylan to go to rehab and we'll rethink our offer, I don't think we'll make a play for Lomax unfortunately..
KPP possibly, but I think we should be aiming higher.. KPP plus either Joe O or Hopgood and I'd be happy.

I don't want anyone from the Eels. Yeah we need a 700-800k second rower or no deal

Love that jersey..........never seen it before?

Yeah Eels really have no one that interests me..
I'd be trying to make a trade with Roosters or Manly for Leniu or Olakau'atu..
If we don't get that quality of player in return, the club should make an example out of Galvin and have him sit out for 2 years.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

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

Olakuatu

I like your thinking and Kikau would be nice, meeting up with some of his old team mates.

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.

At the expense of playing finals? Were you a supporter back in 2011 as that is sinking in the distance.

Aim higher and goes on to mention Joe O? 🤦

 

[weststigerman]

Its getting very messy with multiple players now bagging Galvin.

Can only assume there will be a few players on Galvin’s side.

I don’t see how he can stay at the club much longer, it’s very quickly become even more toxic than the Bateman situation.

 

[Blooey]

at a reduced contract I'd take him back as a bench player.
Ideally, I wouldn't want anyone from Eels, but thats the most likely rumour atm
