Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[The Claw]

I reckon they've made it Round 14 because Round 13 is a long flight to Townsville so won't risk hamstrings after long travel.

do these inclusions take us back to our full side (excluding Pole)?

 

[clontarfkid]

If they swap Lomax for Galvin they’re nuts!

..and if they are...yesterday wld work

 

[hank37w]

I agree with this, and the Galvin experiment has run his course.

If Latu is not ready, I am using Mason or AD in the 6 with Laui as I think the team will respond to not having a guy in the team who has put a bullying claim in and says he is not happy with the coaching (and his only 19 but don't get me started)

No Player wants to play with an upstart kid who want everything and bags the club. Sorry but that's just the real world and the players would never say it

You're just a bully. 🤣

and I agree.

 

[The Claw]

Realistically do we have cap space to plug in the holes for next year? If so who's off contract come Nov 1?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

TBH, I thought the same, however I would be surprised if we did trade Galv for him. He kicks goals, plays eyes up footy and imo one of the better centers in the game. If we dont end up with Taylan May, I wouldnt be surprised if we end up with Lomax.

I think Lomax is a great winger, not a centre. Flanagan moved him to wing and he plays for the Eels and NSW on the wing.

Latu is about 3 years behind in his development, he's spent most of that time sitting on his mum's lounge eating KFC watching Scooby Doo.
Meanwhile Galvin's become an established NRL player.
The window for the boy who lives in a bubble to become anything is nearly closed.

They were saying the same thing about Liddle

 

[Lukic]

Don't see why Parra would willingly release an origin player for a guy who's already said he's on his way out...

 

[fainty]

So no leaks out of the boardroom meeting. Good to see.
I think we may come out and say due to the ongoing distractions the club will release Lachlan Galvin to a club for a player swap. Similar to what the Storm wanted with Ado Carr. That way we still have all the power and if nothing comes our way we like, he just sits in reserve grade until the end of 2027. He isn’t chewing up much of our cap so it’s not really waisted.
With the bye this wknd I would hope there may be a player signing announcement. All roads seem to lead to May and KPP.
Just hope for “some” news 🤞🤞🤞

Same here, however, I don't see Richo giving Parra Galvin without receiving anyone in return. In saying that, the only way the kid goes to parra is if we have an opportunity to dump some serious coin into a marquee or Vet.

At the end of the day its just a rumor i heard from a mate so i'd take it with a grain of salt hahah

Why can’t you see it? Do you know how many players the club has given up in the last year without anyone in return?

I agree with you regarding past bulls ups but I think Richo is a smart operator and the club will get something decent from this fiasco.

Galvin is hot real estate, and for many a bargaining chip. Those other deadwoods we've given up or let go in the last year are rubbish, the only one that's kicked on it Sullivan and even then if he wasn't playing for Bennett, he would suck as well

I reckon it will all come to head during our round 15 bye round and June 30 deadline.

agreed, In Richo we trust

And Liddle's only starting to play the football he's capable of at the age of 29.
Liddle should've been an Origin player, but injuries and being coached by an idiot ruined his confidence for a few years, and has crippled his career.

 

[Bellend]

More likely Guymer or Tuivaiti than Lomax

Hes good yes, Origin i don't think so. He is really good. If Api wasn't the GOAT, he surely would of been our starter and potentially could have played rep footy but i dont see him ever being better than Robson, Watson, Cook or Api

That’s the point he’s making mate . That middle SHOULD have been an origin player.
You run his career through a simulator 100 times how many turn out worse than this version of liddle .
You’d think at least 50% of the time he gets to the level he should have .
I think that’s what he’s saying .

Please stop using this phrase. It’s cursed.

I think Lomax is a great winger, not a centre. Flanagan moved him to wing and he plays for the Eels and NSW on the wing.

He may be a better a winger than a centre, but he shits on anything we have in our centre/wing stocks. Walk up start, bring him in and piss Galvin off to Parra immediately.
