Did you really type that with a straight face? You realise how long we were told the Galvin stuff was speculation, right? If you don’t think it’s a realistic possibility, you are in denial.

Mate the two situations are completely different. There's been unrest from Galvins camp since before the kid even debuted. Where have we seen anything from TDS to say he's agitating for a release or that he won't stay at the club?

Gotta love revisionist history. Apparently Galvin leaving was always obvious lol.
 
WTs appear to be doing its best to lock down the best of our talent. Godinex, Tapau-Moors and Haywood all signed. I also read a post that Brookes is also signed to the club long term. The Galvin situation is hardly of the club's making as he is around 18 months from the cessation of his contract.

Our pathways are bad. So many players who are touted as the future end up anything but, and players who do show promise we can’t keep. 😞

I can only assume they rate Haywood more highly than TDS and the timing works better for a transition from Api to Haywood.

If I was the club I would be second guessing how great our pathways players are that came through from that WM 2022 HM side. Da Silva included, has shown promise in first grade but really only Galvin, TDS and to a lesser extent the much younger LL have shown they can grow to be first graders. But due to that great junior run and side, have these boys been pumped up to be a better in expectation then the output.
I guess I’m saying maybe collectively they stood out due to a talented team rather than being talented individuals.
I think Haywood has gotten to his level of reputation on his own doing without having a gun side around him.

Not to the majority on here. Do you know how many times I got shouted down? TDS will go the same way. Family issues or no family issues.

Nothing we've seen from TDS so far suggests that he plans on doing the same thing as Galvin. I've seen people try & judge based on Mays vlogs because him & Galvin aren't that close with the main group but name me another club where the whole roster is a tight knit buddy buddy group.

Think it’s got more to do with being Lachlans ass plug than anything we’ve done.

I hope the 17 changes for Sunday and TDS is back in.

He's been playing well off the bench and now he's dropped.

Although I feel like he didn't see much game time against the storm.
There could be something more to the story, or they might not.

Just hope Tigers come out on top.

Yes but tell that to an 19 year old entitled piece of slimy dog turd.

What story?

It seems he may be with us next year so the Knights are inviting us to take him now. I hope this is the case because we have top 30 spots available.

I called that we’d sign him early to free up money for the Knights to get Dom Young.

Knights do have a top 30 spot, idk why everyone thinks they don’t Barry Toohey (top Knights insider for long time) has said they do after Pryce left

Still need another big cannonball prop and Seyfarth goes back to reserve grade, the rest fight for their 1st grade positions for me.

Completely disagree, it would screw up our cap and roster balance.

You can't have 7-8 props in a 30 man roster with the money that they are all on. Its not fantasy football. That's why its much more important to get a second rower and lock to free up Seyfarth and Twal to play prop.

If we were to get another FG quality prop (with KPP and a lock) that means that Sione, Twal and Seyfarth would all be in reserve grade. That's too much of the cap in grade. They would probably also look to leave, which puts you back to square one and having to replace them. Not to mention it would completely block the path of guys like Kit.
