Wasted money. Better spent somewhere else.

Grub is making a killing these days.
Owns multiple businesses that work all over the place.

Top bloke, wish his time with us went better

Does anyone know how they come up with that figure $165,000 ?
Seems a bit low for me.

I believe that is around half of his 2025 salary (the amount we’ve already paid). So essentially we’re getting back the money we’ve paid him already for this season.

If the Roosters grab DCE we should go after both their current halves and maybe give Luai a little nudge to cancel his option and take up a deal in Perth/PNG

Wonder if Galvin starts white anting Ciraldo to get his soul mate assistant coach the main gig?

Reynolds just extended for 1 year at the Broncos

Not official yet but he doesn’t want to leave. Will play on a registered contract half of what we’d pay him. Another rort.

Go all in on Mitchell Woods….

What about Staggs?

I thought Mason was fairly sound defensively. Still a kid and as strong as he is, he'll get even better. Good acceleration, brave, plays well in the halves. I think he has a future in NRL at 9 or 6. Or

The questions now are who do we fill that spot with and wtf does $165k actually do for us?

I suppose the transfer fee can be used to pay out a player somewhere else to come across to us or pay out a Tumeth or Matamua.

Our halves are now Latu and Luai, Douehi backup and then Heath Mason or Api 😔

IMO, the $165k is a token so we are not complete doormats. It’s a face saving figure.
You’re correct re halves, but not sure about TDS, he’s our next issue, especially
given his comment about shopping around if we re- sign API.
So what should we do, play the long or the short game ?. Very difficult question when you consider how good API had been, but how much more is left in him.
And is TDS the new API ?

Is that working ? I don’t think anyone is too fooled that they haven’t been bent over once again …

Easy player to like. Plays with a lot of emotion. Puts his hand up for tough carries. Good finisher who gets low and physical to cross the line. I do see the qualities.

But I also see:
That emotion has resulted in poor discipline at times. His backfield work is overstated as his carries are rarely impactful. He only has the one option as a finisher to get low. He doesn't have the acrobatics of other wingers. Defenders know he can only beat them one way.
Add in the generally poor defence and at times poor kick defusal.

All fair points.
I don’t know about his acrobatics, can’t say’s I remember one from him, but he looks the type, surely that’s in him? Hasn’t he done backflips after scoring?
Yeah he needs to work on his D all round but his kick defusal I thought was ok, has some issues, but safe enough.
But he is getting too dollar for a winger and for that I expect continued development, so I guess we’re paying overs bcoz of who we are, and that at his worst is a lot better than what we have, and if he continues to get better will be worth the money.
I’d rather be paying Tito $450 than Nofo $500. I think that’s an upgrade right there. I remember him scoring (I think) his first try at cambo? and it was an acrobatic freak of a try? He has been chasing that high ever since.
Anyway it’s fun watching The Claw when we’re up and he’s scoring.

love that the boys have been posting photos of each other together captioned “brothers” straight after the Galvin news dropped. clearly they are close and happy he’s gone.
