FOX NEWS 500 - Press Conference 11:45am

I think if Galvin said he wanted to move on without the infamous dossier produced by Moses, this situation is in a totally different place. All the players realise it’s a professional sport and many of them are here for a variety of reasons.

Reportedly, Moses and Benji dislike one another. I believe once the decision was made to leave the Tigers, the complaints against Benji’s coaching were to achieve two outcomes:
1 - Make it untenable for Galvin to stay as he still has 18 months to go
2 - A simple FU to Benji from Moses

Firstly, don’t believe Galvin instructed Moses to share the information regardless of what he thought of Benji as a coach. These were probably closed door discussions that Galvin had with this team.
Secondly, I believe Moses attended the meeting with Richo to with the intent to get an early release (perhaps Galvin wanted one) and threw petrol on the fire.

Apparently Halvin was there as well with his used car salesman. So he obviously gave the approval to the dossier.

Seems to be 2 main camps, Fox backing Wests Tigers and the 9 media machine backing Galvin. Podcasters seem to be split.

The one that surprises me the most is the Buzzard who I thought would never back the Tigers even after getting a free feed and booze, but then his hate for Isaac Moses must really be something else.

Gee who works for 9 again?!

If you were a young gun 5/8 and the team you and your family have loved and supported all your life, (Tigers), cuts you from the team as you are coming through the grades, and to make it to NRL you have to then go to some other shit team you hate (every other club), and then a few years later you make the big time as the next big thing, and then your first true loved team (Tigers), sends a player you grew up idolising, (Benji), to take you out for sushi lunch once a fortnight, and Benji whispers sweet $$$ in to your ears saying “the Tigers are sorry Rock Hop, we need you back, the DH’s that cut you are gone, that Brown Poo bloke is gone, and we wanna make your childhood dreams come true. I’ve got a full kit bag here for ya Dad, fully signed by the whole team, and a nice big fat contract for you to sign as soon as you can throw enough shite at your current stepping stone of a club to get an early release. Please come home Rock, the Tigers are sorry and we need you.” Would you come back to the Tigers if you were in the same position?
I don’t know about you RHS, but I’d slice the top of my thumb and sign that big fat contract in blood, 🩸 and quicker than his old man would have that kit bag open. I’ve been a Magpie and then a Tiger since birth, maybe I think differently.
Tigers 4 life!!!

It really depends on the individual's personality I guess, some players would be filthy they were cut and hold a grudge till the day they die.
But I guess in the Galvan's case the love for the club is deeper and they forgive and want to jump at the chance and go back.
Mate for mine think we are better off with Latu he plays straight and is faster just has to get his body right remember Benji was brittle when he was younger but grew out of it.

Levels podcast (Justin Horo and Willie Mason) are backing Galvin. I think the Dogs aligned pundits such as Graham and Mason are all singing from the same hymn book. Might be nothing but wouldn’t be surprised if the push is on.

I don't know if they took his side as such, I listened to it in its entirety and i think they understand both sides but did protect Galvin a bit given his age.

Willie forgets that the dogs missed the semis for 7 seasons in a row and were a basket case last year too, until Gould came along and fixed up their roster. The same thing that richo and Benji are doing for us

THey are a year ahead of us. And the form won't continue, they had every call go their way yesterday. How kikau wasn't binned given what we've seen amazes me

My love for our club runs deeper than all the staff that come and go, and I can understand him going back, especially after a change in the staff that cut you.
I don’t like it but understand it and I always thought they were the danger.

That's a good perspective on it.
And if the admin come back and say that it wasn't them who cut him... We will look after you, it's lollipops and rainbows.

Couldn't blame him for that.

Comes back to just saying "I'm going to test my market value" and not coming up with reasons why the club and coach suck.

That whole Anasta section is so poorly written.

"He did it !! He's mean !!"

What a disgrace.

I am still trying to work out his point.
So the the feud started because Moses thought Benji's body language was disrespectful to Sheens?
Really !
it doesn't say which Moses was it Mitchell or Isaac.
Still for the life of me not sure why we still deal with that piece of *hit.
If more clubs did the same thing the game would be much better for it.
 
I scratch my head at some of the arguments in defence of Galvin. Yes he is young and immature, thats not a problem. Yes he is leaving, thats not a problem. Yes the club probably is annoyed, thats notna problem. Yes his team mates a probably mad, thats not a problem.
The problem is telling the club in April dont even make a better offer then 6 million dollars we are leaving in November. Under the current laws of the NRL they shouldn't have a clue of what other offers are available. There's the potential to only receive minimum pay contract. No one in the world rolls that dice at 19.
The entire narrative of the Galvin side is to make the club ( at least the team and coaches ) sound like a bunch of bully's picking on Galvin every recess.
where ever he ends up has to be scrutinised by the NRL. If Benji and more importantly Jarome can't improve his game as 5/8 in the modern game no one can.
