Yea, ah... you really expect Issac Moses to be serious and not play silly games?
I suspect the 165000 is the figure we need to land the next big fish we are chasing.

I suspect the 165000 is the figure we need to land the next big fish we are chasing.
A failed reserve grader , who retired early through injury . Worked his way into the wests fields coaching job .
Here’s the thing there’s no way on earth he would have learnt more than someone like Benji , simply by the fact that he would have had to study nrl doctrine to get even a glimpse at some of these nrl strategies . If Benji was paying attention even the slightest bit , his knowledge base would be far greater than a guy who’s only right now, like this year, getting access to truely elite coaching .
I’m not talking about ability , I’m merely talking about information . And access to it . You don’t know what you don’t know ! You can pick the brains of people who have been in those situations , yes sure , but you yourself have never been there .
So how can a guy who’s simply never been there, tell anyone what is or isn’t good coaching . And why would anyone listen to him like he’s the oracle of information .
The whole thing is just “wests tigers are a bunch of dum dums and nuffies” group think .
It’s infested nsw as well . the club did it to itself . There’s no doubt about it , but if prospects are listening to failed reserve graders rather than nrl system coaches … then that’s just beyond stupid . Even someone like Benji , who you can say was chosen too soon or whatever, he’s still winning nrl games . Not as many as we would all like . But if you have NFI you’re not winning anything . The standards at that level being so high , that the difference between an off day vs a team on a good day , is often 50 points . We’ve had our fair share of those under Benji , sure , but we’ve also towelled a few up ourselves .
There’s no way that anyone who’s coaching below nrl standard , who’s never been exposed to the training and coaching strategies even as a player could ever just jump straight into that level . If you’re an ex player , especially in a key position like a spine player , I think you’re probably going to ok . Considering most of those guys towards the end of their career , start taking on leadership / mentoring roles , and often influence game plans and strategies , simply because been there done that .
He’s literally the only person I’ve seen say the team last year was anything other than bottom of the league standard . I thought so at the time . The proof was in the eating , and we sucked. It is what it is . The talent wasn’t there . We sign 4 good players and immediately we are equal 8th. And up there . The only reason half these teams are within a shout is they have had their second bye already , so it’s messing with the ladder . There’s will be some clubs who will be having their 3rd bye when we get our 2nd . The ladder won’t level itself out until round 20 .
Richardson said that we would not be releasing him before the bullying accusations were made. Once they were made how did people expect that the players and the coach could line up next to him and if they dropped him the claims would be further intensified and the focus on Galvin would continue - Moses would make sure if it.
Parra and the Bulldogs moved on players as soon as the claim was made - they knew it was untenable . This was a plan to get out him of his contract and the Galvins have gone along with it to get what they wanted after trying to get out of his contract on numerous times previously.
This is all on them.
Turning on Richardson and Benji as a Wests Tigers supporters is really difficult to understand, unless it's an opportunity to pile on two people who you never backed anyway.

In hindsight
The fact that Galvin has made numerous requests for release pretty much says that he was never going to stay long term

In hindsight we should have left him in Flegg also. Rolled out the red carpet and he shit on it.

Of course not. You set the parameter of not coming last. I think both spoons were avoidable with better coaching, given the roster.
Ivan is a victim of his own success. You can’t lose great players year on year on year and still perform without it catching up to you. Additionally those who remain have played a lot more footy in the past 5 years than most guys in the NRL. They are weary and starting to breakdown. The next man up philosophy is still working, however that cupboard is also getting bare as great young backups have been forced out over the years, again due to the success of the club. All these factors weigh heavy and motivation/desire seems to be the area where they are suffering in.
Ivan is an excellent coach and I have no doubt he has identified this year as a rebuild. It’s likely Penrith will work in a cycle like the Roosters do I.e. a string of great years then an off year or two to recompose themselves before storming back.
I’ll put it to you…if the salary cap wasn’t an issue like several other big global sports, how long would this dynasty have lasted? You could put a team together of players forced out of that club over the past 4 years who would beat their current lineup. That’s a crazy situation that us Tigers supporters have never and likely will never experience. Trying to compare Cleary to Marshal is frankly a ridiculous thing to do.

I think Ricoh knew this and that’s why he offered him such a significant deal to help control the narrative in the clubs favour.

I get what your saying and I agree.
When players can just walk out of contracts... they will.
Yet, we need to think differently. Easts for some bizarre reason has a stack of loyality from their players, Why? I mean seriously they have thrown good players to the wind so many times before. Angus C was almost going to be thrown out of there.
Somehow Easts, Manly and a few other clubs have built a culture where players want to stay. We need to do the same, yes winning would help, but there is clearly something else with Easts.

Yet another Galvin artcile today this time by Weedler, stating how poor Lachie will miss out on being selected for Origin 2 camp so he can get a taste of what his future rep environment will be like....Sheez the grovelling by this guy is incredible....such a scum of a reporter.....
Seriouis question: If there were a competition for the most written up NRL player in 2024 -2025 Galvin would win hands down by the length of the straight....

Yeah i saw that - poor kid has been so under developed at the tigers that he is already in the frame as a future blue. The irony. Saw another report about why dogs did an about turn and decided to sign him. This one was from Riccio - reckons dogs went off Sexton in Canberra game because he couldn't close out a set with a repeat set on 2 occasions. Yet somehow they believe the kid can - lol - they obviously haven't been watching his games too closely.
This kid will be an Immortal before he is 22 the way the media overhype him.
Spot on, blithering on about his bravery….. The Weed’s obviously super hot for Moses

From an outsider looking in, Roosters are the celebrity club in Sydney. They are the glamour club who are seen as the coolest among the influencers and socialites. I’m sure their players receive lots of invites to major events outside of footy. They get lots of offers for third parties and sponsorship deals and job offers post career due to their public status.
To be a member of the money and fame factory like that, you have to perform on the field. They have no shortage of people wanting in so you become an expendable commodity. I’m not convinced their players love the game like guys from other setups, moreso, they see it as the vehicle that can deliver them a comfortable and exciting life. Be great at RL, become a big name in this club, set yourself up for life.
Broncos operate the same way.

Oh grow up.
"what's your assessment". Hey Ill take a spoon for 4 grand final wins.
Ivan and Penrith a burned out. It wouldn't even surprise me after origin if things change around and Penrith make the 8.
Nah they don't talk
But chammas is friends with moses'S friends and familty, and often gets Intel that way - an presents it as it he's got it from Moses to protect his source
He said this on triple m not long ago
In what fkn world would Galvin be called up into origin 2 camp?
The amount of jerking each other off in this circle is ridiculous
