All smiles, indeed.
Lucky for us he has always been used to attention. Hopefully it will all be water off ducks back when the whistle goes and instinct takes over
No , I selected my sport and he just watched and said nothing just enjoyed the game , he played soccer I played footy , no issue and he never got involved with coaches etc , Galvins father has always been in the middle mate , just a fact , he was a footy dad you don’t stand near at games
People react differently under pressure and stress. I have a mate who cracks jokes when people die….even at their funerals. It pisses some people off whilst others realise it’s a coping mechanism.
He was 18 when he made his debut and his first release request was on 10 Jun 24 following the loss to the Dragons.
Nope!!
Respectfully Tuck all of this would make sense if he was off to the Dogs or Penrith or Melbourne. But when the most likely destination is Parra then how are we supposed to believe all that? How are we supposed to believe he's leaving for his development when he's most likely leaving to go play under another rookie coach (who was a prop) rather than a coach who was one of the best 5/8's of all time? Do you honestly believe that he can develop his game better at Parra then at WT's where he won the RLPA Rookie of the year & made the PM's 13 in his first season of grade? Ryles openly expressed his desire to make a play for Galvin (despite him being under contract) & Moses admitted to catching up for coffees with him because they're just mates aye. His agent is the Uncle of Parramatta's star halfback & with Dylbags future being under speculation all summer this has obviously been in the works for a while.
Tucker wrote - "When he was first pushing for a release he was under age."
There were release requests before that we spoke about them on here at the start of last year.
He was. Think about it.
My apologies. I just read this article.

It strikes me odd as well and I’ve said so. Obviously I don’t know the timing. Maybe they spoke after spoon bowl. Parra were a far more enticing club than ours at that stage.
Not nessisarily, alot comes to personality, I'd actually be surprised if Bula did leave, he seems settled and happy. Iv no doubt the club are in his ears about looking at changing manager. If we don't hear about Bula changing manager then I'll start to worry, I reckon he might. He could also just tell Isaac just get me the best deal at the Tigers you can I don't want to leave. Though if I'm him after all the chaos this bloke has caused and how it's effected the season of the team I'm playing in, I'm kicking him up the rear and getting a new agent. It's all good to do whats "best" for a client, but not at my expense as one of your clients also.
He didn't say it directly his manager did when he presented a list of coaching grievances to Richo, Moses is speaking for Galvan isn't he, so yes he didn't directly say it, he said it through his manager.
What's one more
Noone said he did Tucker, they said his manager did on his behalf, whilst providing a list of issues with the coach. It's snakey behaviour in a team environment to be documenting things to use as ammunition to support a claim, without giving the coach a chance to look at them and sort them out 1 on 1 as adults. It's sneaky and screams convenience. The bigger point is he is 19, any news outlet will take his call all he has to do is say I want to publicly apologise to my coach as I don't agree with what my manager claims about his coaching ability, though I will still be leaving in 18 months. He has never once come out and distanced himself from the comments. Imo your paying the manager to represent you, if he says something you don't openly disagree with, you obviously agree with it. Also the list had specific details about a wrestling match where Galvin was told to stop early cause Benji didn't want him hurt or something and Galvin complained it affected his defence development. Those are only details Galvin could give, Moses doesn't have esp. It also shows Galvin has been planning this for awhile, giving these details speaks volumes about his intentions. Any player in that situation would brush it off and forget about it, but if you remember and record it, your looking for excuses against the coach. Like I wrote earlier instead of going to Benji 1 on 1 to resolve it and giving it as a reason to Moses, shows Galvin had no intention of the player coach relationship working, showing the lack of respect he has for Benji as a coach. It's sneaky, snakey behaviour. That would be what's really got the players offside. The seeing things and recording them instead of addressing them.
Apparently Braith last night said the Dogs didn't want a bar of him because of the red flags with his management. Also the Dragons and Manly have both pre-emptively come out and said they don't want to sign him. Clubs arnt silly. If it doesn't work at Parra for him it'll be off to superleague. Like Tallis said the last player who had all the talent in the world that was in a situation like this was Jackson Hastings back in the day.
