I just don’t think going to the Roosters is as attractive as many people seem to think it is
Sure they are known as a glamour club and sure they get the fringe benefits that Uncle Nick provides, but they are currently in a rebuild themselves, Teddy getting older and slowing down and if a young 5/8 such as Galvin signed with them on big money, he would be the one scrutinised and kicked to the curb if they didn’t get their desired results.
They virtually ruined a good young player in Kyle Flanagan.
I know it’s good to be ruthless, but you also have to show a bit of backbone and back your players, only a few select chosen ones get that treatment from them which is hypocritical in itself.
Terrell May a prime example of that.

roosters are ruthless they move on Kyle Flanagan
they moved on mitchell Pearce for Cooper Cronk
they do what they need to do
Galvin fits the bill to partner Sam Walker at some point

I know a lot of people will probably laugh, but I didn't think young Flanagan was really all that awful at the Chooks before they kicked him to the curb.

I think he went ok as well

Did you hear what his dad said about him the other day

He mite not be an elite player but he is an elite competitor

Hard to disagree with that.

Thought he made a fair fist of playing hooker towards the end of his stint at the Dogs as well, definitely not afraid to have a go.

He might be gone as in playing for Dragons BUT until he finds a club with Salary cap free that will sign him plus compensate Dragons it will all be on hold.

Can’t see how the drag queens get any compensation, Molo wants out and the drag queens can’t sign KLEMMER or any other player till he signs for another club

All I can say is I only wish we had a billionaire with a true passion for the club..and a wallet prepared to optimise his: "hobby:...and attract whatever talent floating around.He can do that
I cldnt even tell you who the Roosters CEO is..its irrelevant
Im very envious btw

We used to have that with “Harry T, owner of Meriton” but it’s not that simple. Money helps but I think Politis is a bit more NRL savvy, especially re players.
Just for your info Roosters CEO is Joe Kelly. He’s been there for a while, maybe 10 years( but that’s only a guess).

Thnks
Joe has no public face...which is how u survive working under someone like Politis
And whilst I appreciate harrys "involvement"at WTs, I wldnt call it a lifelong passion for footy success as is Politis

hes solid but already expensive at 750 or so.......first issue is who picks up his increased $$ contract next 2 years(which hes definitely not worth)?
As we will be short a forward too,we need to can pick up a really good backrower for THIS year,and May post court case which wld make sense of the Klemmer release and be beneficial for the team
Dont just give up on 2025 before a ball has been kicked Richo

Wel pay nothing. Klemmer has already been paid 1/4 of his 700k os so. Dragons would pay 500k for him. Next year he only has a contract if he played 14 games this year. Which he won't. So we should be salary cap free on the money front.

Isn't Taylan May a back?

That would mean we need to pick up a prop to replace Klem + a 2rf or two... Along with Taylan May upgrading people in our back row...
