What exactly is the culture at Parra under an unproven coach?

His final decision will prove all the above suppositon to be 'what-if' bullshit!

His exposure to NRL has exponentially benefited his development & would not have happened at any other club at his age - any argument against that is utter bullshit!

The pre-determination of this decision for spurious development reasons concocted by a demonstrably vexatious manager is blatantly obvious to any objective individual with a clue!

Stop being the contrary Drama Queen & defer to those who know better (aka our CEO)!

Firstly I said nothing about Parramatta. They are your words.
They weren’t “what if” thoughts they were possibilities - not yet proven or dispelled. They are perfectly reasonable thoughts on a forum where we are sharing thoughts and ideas.
He clearly does not think he has been developed either, so no matter how much you stamp your feet, this is what HE is saying.
Maybe it is all his manager, maybe it’s not. You don’t know the answer and regurgitating what a section of the media says doesn’t make you any more knowledgeable, despite the big words you surround it with.
Yeah the CEO who has done a bang up job this week? 👍🏼 cool story bro.

I’m merely thinking out loud. Anything can be twisted though to fit any narrative if you try hard enough.
For instance Benji has been big on a cultural inspiration based rebuild. It looks to be working, but has that ostracised white bread Lachy?
Galvins arrogance has been fostered by the club. He was given the keys to the team as an 18 year old and told to play what he see’s. He is now being criticised for doing that.

As for the money, that’s not a factor. He has been earmarked for a big payday since late last year.

yeah fair enough. It would be good for tigers if Galvin had a team first mentality.

It would have been excellent.
Has he ever had one? I was saying very early on last year that this kid is only playing for himself and is building a portfolio to sell himself to the big boys…and only a tiny handful agreed. Most on here were abusive in reply.
So if a bloke not even watching games live can see it, why didn’t the club? If they did, why didn’t they manage it properly?

Yes I’m sure there exists a verbal deal, maybe a couple….and from good clubs.
I don’t think it’s all about money for reasons I mentioned earlier.
Maybe it’s the cultural fit?
Maybe his arrogance has made him unlikeable?
Maybe there’s some jealousy in the group and he gets ignored a bit?
Maybe our preferential treatment of him has made teammates annoyed?
I think he was telling the truth about becoming the best he can be, even though he worded it hideously. He doesn’t trust our club to get him there. However that seems short sighted after seeing how they’re going this year. We have plenty of class and hopefully more to come.

Whatever it is, it won’t paint the club in a good light and that’s the bit that shits me off. Someone or multiples from other clubs are talking crap about WTs. Gus? Ivan? Bennett?

I think you are on the money with the cultural fit as he cannot exactly come out and say that is the reason as he would sound like a racist.
Quite a few posts on this forum have touched on how he doesn’t appear to be in the clique, but then again maybe that’s by choice as our bigger personalities within the squad do not appear hard to get along with.
Even if this is slightly correct and a factor in why he wants to leave, it’s a petty reason as it’s clear he is backed and given the freedom to pretty much do what he likes during our games, so it’s hard to work out what more he wants or expects ?
Mitchell Moses can tell him everything he wants to hear, but it’s certain he will be taking a back seat if playing alongside of him at the Eels.

Yeah, I really would be surprised if that’s where he ends up. It doesn’t fit his narrative of self improvement and development.

I think we will find that narrative was fabricated at the advice of his manager in the hope of obtaining an early release.
I reckon Paul Kent is on the money and the deal has already been done with the Eels who are hoping to get him there ASAP as part of their Isaac Moses backed rebuild.
If I’m right we will hear of another Isaac Moses client in Ethan Bullemore signing with the Eels shortly.

I also think the attack on Benji was a calculated move to gain an early release knowing the blowback could be leveraged, however I am positive others have been filling his head outside of his family and manager.
Gus has been sticking his fat head into our business for a year now. Joey has had some contact last year at the least. Freddy has had access to him after selecting him on the PMs 13 team well before he deserved it. Who else? Bennett will need a 5/8 soon as Walker is 35 now. Cleary needs one as Talagi is struggling to keep up. Manly have to replace DCE….etc etc.

Yes he would fit into all of those teams you have mentioned, but I don’t think too many of them would pay him a million dollars per season just yet.
Parramatta have the most cap space to fill, they could and likely would pay him above a million dollars per season.

We’ll have to wait and see I suppose.
Why a player like him would leave a squad that’s clearly improving to go to one that is still descending towards rock bottom is puzzling.
