I think the major difference this time is the articles state the club is letting him look elsewhere, insinuating they are happy for him to go if he gets the right offer. As opposed to us begging and pleading for him to stay only to have him leave us for the roosters.
My understanding is that his preference is to stay, but wants to start over Api.
We all know he's not ready to start. I think if he's not willing to wait we can wait another year or 2 for Haywood, and Api can fill the hole in the meantime.
I think the “helping someone have a second chance” is just PR spin. If what’s alleged is true then he’s not a great person. This softens the blow.
He’ll be there to work, but hopefully he doesn’t fall off the wagon like James Roberts.
Galvin played a typical game for him. End of set kicks were average, ball playing was decent, got pole-axed once, threw a hospital pass and scored a support try that the media will salivate over. Wait until he’s in the halves for 80 mins without Sexton next to him. I really don’t think he and...
In al seriousness, I think he has massive potential that the Knights haven’t really been able to get out of him due to their lacklustre halves. Happy about this one.
Of course it was him, and he was regurgitating what his father thinks.
His dad was involved in his contract negotiations. Why? He has an agent and doesn’t need his dad there.
His dad is there because he’s living vicariously through his son in my opinion.
Galvin: Do you think we can win a premiership?
Ciraldo: of course.
Galvin: like 1 in 100?
Ciraldo: more like 1 in a million.
Galvin: so you’re telling me there’s a chance.
I don’t think it looks bad on the tigers. They would have known Galvin would go early as soon as they said he had beef with the club and wouldn’t resign, and there’s nothing they could do about it. It wouldn’t surprise me if that just left their mouth shut until it got closer to Latu being fit...
