I think it's the same. He's just turned 20, hasn't he? How many other first grade hookers are 20? He should bide his time, learning from the best, then take over as Api winds down.

Its completely different. Yes he's a 20 year old, but he's a 20 year old that many clubs believe is ready to be a starter right now. This is also his 3rd year in first grade.

Hes basically been offered a promotion (starting role) and more money elsewhere. Doesn't matter if you're a footballer, 90% of the population would do the same in their work role.

If he were to leave right now, he would start at a few teams. If he were to stay, he would have to wait until 2027 at the earliest to get a starting role, probably 2028. Thats a long time to wait and a lot of money lost.

What needs to be taken into account is that he would lose a heap of money staying in a back up role as opposed to a starting role. Not only would he get more money immediately, his next contract (in 3-4 years time) would be based on already being a starter for 2-3+ years. If he stayed a back-up, he would get less during that time and even his next contract would be less as he would not have proven himself to be a starter. Staying would impact his long term earning capacity. Galvin was starting week in week out and was getting big money offers to stay or to leave.

I would be devastated if TDS left, but I would completely understand and would not have any negative feelings towards him. He seems like a loyal kid who wants to be here but is unfortunately stuck behind Api.

Connor Votano is a fullback. From the Central Coast. I saw him star for the Blue Haven Raiders back when he was in the under 13s. Tall kid with plenty of poise, can score points. Played NSW under 19s from memory.

Given we have a fullback, I guess somebody in the club thinks he can become a centre or winger ?

He would be an outstanding centre, in the mold of everyone the Roosters have had for the last 10 years. He and Makasini would see us set until 2035. Kids a top gun!

What's the world come to when liking a post could be considered bullying, fair dinkum pussycats.
Decades ago, bullying meant getting a clip around the ear all changed today by these F do Gooder groups and individuals.

Yeah i hear ya....but online bullying espacially for kids can be even worse than the physical stuff we knew as bullying.
They all should probably just be quiet about it all....if weve put a non disparagement clause on him wr really should be doing the same
 
Nothing to gain but more negative publicity out of the Pole thing. It’s just stupid at this stage. You just have to pretend the kid does not exist.
 
He's no longer associated with the club so it's open slather for players and fans to say and like whatever they want as long as they don't break the law or bring the club into disrepute.
It's not bullying to like a comment.
We've got coaches at other clubs calling players weak gutted dogs. That's not bullying either.
People are allowed to dislike each other and voice that dislike when they are no longer work colleagues.

Doesn’t seem to stop the Jonah Pezets of the world playing reserve grade for years for teams like Melbourne.

Getting the starting gig also didn’t stop Galvin from leaving for less money either.
