You are going to Heaven as a Tigers supporter as we have all paid for our sins just following this club.
If wishing bad luck on ex Tigers players like Moses or Galvin stops you going into Heaven then at the very least you will have a few Tigers supporters with you in Hell.......

Has anyone considered that Galvin could be a double agent sent by Richo to take down Gould once and for all.
Yes. Plenty will have a front row seat to the disappointment in rd 22

I realise it helps their kicking game, but I’ve never liked Burton at five eighth. Needless to say, the Dogs aren’t winning a comp with Galvin & Burton as their halves.

Their argument on 360 last night was could galvin or sexton win a clive churchill medal....they seem to think Lloyd could but Toby couldnt

quite a big risk they've taken
if Dogs go on to get into the prelims this year and GF next year, their risk would've paid off IMO
The Dogs have such a strong core. Their defence is so switched on, all players get behind the ball, they keep their feet moving in defence. I love seeing the long shot of their D. You see them all move like a wave moving obliquely towards the ball. When there is an offload, a line break, a quick PTB etc, they are so fit that they retreat to their formation very quickly.
Galvin isn't enough to destabilise that. I feel the system of D is relian on Preston, Kikau and Critta.
If you put enough kick pressure on Burton, you can mess with their system though. Galvin's kicking game is still a year or two from developing if it ever does.

How is making the prelims a success when they were ladder leaders halfway through the season?
Braith Anasta summed it up well, sometimes you can look too far into the future... But the dogs have a premiership window in 2025...
Anything but making the GF this year is a failure for the dogs...

Sexton 2025 Bulldogs win rate 75%
Galvin 2025 Bulldogs win rate 50%
That's the main stat they should be thinking about.
Bulldogs only have 4 losses all year, Galvin played in 2 and all of them came in the period after Galvin announced he was leaving Tigers and the innuendo started around Bulldogs.
So imagine no surprise at all if Sexton's mental state is affected if, after 6W 0L, club hires his replacement and tell him to go find a deal somewhere else.

I expect Sextons form to drop off rapidly the mental anguish will way him down
His dream of winning a NRL premiership as a number 7 since he was a kid is basically gone given to someone who has not earnt it
They lose his defence and controlling the team around the park..

I know we're enjoying Galvin not going well but we have well and truly proven how valuable he is by our absolutely abysmal form since he left. He's obviously struggling at a new club but it's obvious he was pivotal to us. Again, I wish that were not the case and we could prove how we're better off without him. Unfortunately that's not the case.
Maybe we can show something at the back end of our season and prove it otherwise, but I bet he's looking back at our club feeling nothing but relief that he's not a part of this developing train wreck. Sorry to be so negative. But losing and gloating doesn't really work.

Clearly they think they have more to gain with him than without him
There's no correlation between Galvin leaving and our results as far as ability on the field. He played in the Storm game. He cost us the game vs Souths. He isn't the reason we lost 6 straight - not directly. Its the downstream impact of having to start fresh with a new spine. Injuries and suspensions didn't help either
Maybe ciraldo is a genius and it works..
But maybe it's the sort of move you see in an A grade comp that results in the coach losing his job in the offseason... The doggies won't sack him... But they are all on this strategy for the immediate future and it could define ciraldos career...

100% If it works, Gus is a genius. If it fails, Ciraldo wanted him and couldn't get the best out of him.
