Sorry Oldman but that’s what players say to deflect blame and avoid responsibility. Tallyn employs his manager to act on his behalf, if his manager makes public statements that disrespect Api and the club, that’s as good as Tallyn saying so himself. If Tallyn doesn’t believe what his manager...

Galvin: “What do they mean it’s not a try. I’ve already done my try celebration and everything. It’s so unfair, don’t they know who I am?” Luai: “It must be a computer glitch”

I agree that it’s normal to have discussions about player expectations but those discussions should take place behind closed doors and remain private. The manager apparently made public statements in the form of an ultimatum that involved another player. That’s not respectful of API or the club...

Do you think it’s OK for players to place ultimatums on the club, dictate who the club can and can’t sign and determine what their pathway to full time nrl should be? The tigers have invested in Tallan’s development and provided a clear pathway to become their first grade hooker in a reasonable...

Gus might be referring to the dropping of the legal action re bullying. If it’s true Richo made this a condition of release I’m sure he would want a formal statement from LG that gives WT some form of protection against ongoing litigation. Would take a day or two to sort that out.

He doesn’t, that’s the point. Seems happy enough to shi1t the bed before he leaves.

For a bloke that calls people out for OTT statements, you seem happy enough to throw them around.

It was a good one! I jumped on the Fifita bandwagon while I licked my wounds. 😂 It’s good to dream and rekindle the fire after a tough loss. Big game this weekend.

I agree there’s legitimate concerns with his attitude and recent performances, but if, as per the hypothetical, we paid him $600K off our cap we’d need him to justify a $600K salary, not $1M.

Apparently Richo’s been saving the pennies and is sitting on a stack of cash. Hypothetically we could front load a contract to reduce the impact on next year’s cap. Just making the point that it’s potentially feasible.

Apparently he’s being shopped around, no idea if that’s true. But, hypothetically, at $600k for the remainder of this year and $600k for next year, with Titans chipping in $300k total, he’d be getting his full contract amount, Titans save $1.2m and Tigers get a specialist second row forward.

His salary for the rest of the year is ~ $500K and next year it’s $1M. If Titans contribute $100K for the remainder of this year and $200K for next year, his salary averages out to be $600K spread across two seasons. If Richo’s got money burning a hole in his pocket, this would be a good buy. If...

Where’s Drew Peacock when you need him? I’m sure he can confirm.

I think if he was making his own decisions there’s a chance he would stay to play with his mates. However, it seems his father and the leech are the ones pulling the strings. They clearly have other ideas for his future.

Tallyn has been in and around the playing group for a while now and seems like a great clubman. He and Galvin are clearly close friends. Rather than TDS following Galvin there’s a small chance Galvin stays long term to play with TDS. He’d have to take unders though as we’d have moved on cap wise.

Hopefully they bring it into effect soon along with a trade window. Would solve a few issues.

CDC It’s baffling that the NRL allow player managers so much free rein. Surely it’s possible for them to stipulate that contract negotiations and offers must be made direct to the player who can opt to have a player manager present and/or forward the contract offer on for them to review. I’d...

Agree, I don’t see Lachie as a smiling assassin type of personality. Richo doesn’t either apparently: “Lachlan is a very honest kid. He’s as simple as it gets. He loves his footy. If he were sitting here with you, he would be twirling the ball.”

Been wondering where you were. Bad time to get locked out. Good to hear your views.
