Galvin given a rest as the club tries to keep him at Concord with a fresh deal. - SMH piece.

IMO the club needs to stand firm. Do not negotiate until such time that he proves to be a true first grader. Needs to be consistent. Light weight, no speed and average tackler. Can read game and has a good passing game.
He is under contract for another 2 years. We cant just rolll over every time a player makes a noise. Look at our past performamce when we've let people out early. Absolute disaster. Now most are performing at the new clubs.

Agreed, he sounds like a real piece of work! We gave him his chance and now he wants to cash in. To early as u have written he’s to slow and next season more teams will rifle him out, I certainly wouldn’t upgrade him yet. Especially with his attitude. Richo don’t buckle to the Moses crap, he’s what played 2-3 good games. Hope everyone boos him this week against the tits. Guys a scumbag.

If he leaves, it isn’t about cashing in cos we have the money to upgrade him. It would say more about us. 3 players in one season wanting out is not a good look, no matter how much you want to portray them as the bad guys.
 
You need to stay away from Brandon Smith he has a habit he can not break.Why do you think east show a please explain.


As stated on the Galvin thread this is not a parent push this a agent driven get out of the Tigers push. Penrith more than likely through out that they are interested in him and did express this to his agent.

No they are portraying themselves poorly, if the rumours are true he was yelling out in the dressing room that he wanted out. Says more about him than us!
But what else do u expect from a parramatta fan?!?
But carry on your campaign in running us down as a club! Tell me why do u support us with so quick to stab the club?? Lookin fir attention???
 
I'm glad Richo, has called their bluff. Just like a poker game, he has upped the ante by offering a longer term contract and a pay rise...if Galvin's manager rejects it then clearly Galvin never wanted to be a WT long term....I don't think Galvin will stay....he is an ill advised entitled wanker...

Not sure anyone else is “behind it all” other than the player himself ..not everything is a conspiracy..

The Tele report mentions Roosters and Panthers would have intereat if he is released , but also says

Galvin has told friends he isn’t unhappy at Concord but feels his development could accelerate at another club …

It’s up to Benji and Richo to convince him otherwise ..

What a load of crap....7 weeks ago he said how glad and lucky he is to be coached by a Golden Boot 5/8 winner in Benji...grow some gonads Galvin!.

Who would you rather be coached by … Benji or literally any other first grade coach …perhaps apart from the interims at Parra and Souths .,?

It's a good move by Richo to offer the new deal. We get to see where his heart really is. If he doesn't sign then he can go back to SG Ball for the next 2 years.

Yep unless they give us Teddy back.

I get that he would be 32 but he has 2-3 years left in him with the way he is playing. Adds experience to the team and had a nice little thing going with Luai in origin.

An experienced spine with Teddy, Api & Luai + youth in L. Fainu helping blood him in.

Teddy would eventually play a role with Bula or Bigg, whoever the club prioritises.

Bula to wing, similar project to Mini/RTS all those years back.

The club really have to play their cards right here.

It's about money - currently he is signed for 3 years on a good deal financially for us, he wants a release to sign a new deal reflecting his nrl future star status. We hold the cards because we can pay him more for the next 2.5 yrs or not but no one else can - for that we meet part way and pay him more but in return we get to extend out another year or 2 at the new rate.

And you know it's 100% coming from the manager, because every step of this mini saga is being leaked to the media, so they are getting regular updates from his management.

Yea I am kinda here.

We need a halfback. We need a forward pack. I reckon we need a good center too.
We don't 'need' Galvin.

Sure, the guy seems to perform. But if we are having these troubles now, how will he be if he is asked to go Center or Hooker to fit Large or other talent into the team?

Now fair cop. You are starting your footy career playing injured. Benji should not be forcing junior people to do this. I respect the objection and we have seen players ruined by this behaviour. Was it Delaney who can't walk anymore due to the sea eagles doing this kind of thing?


Happy to punt Galvin if he is a Moses Showpony. That said lets stop being stupid like loosing winable games and playing youngsters injured.

Bad take he’s a good young player and we need to enforce contract and use leverage to extend the kid. If you keep letting players go it becomes a trend. We know this movie it’s been done to us many times before.

Agree. If we are ever going to get off the bottom we need to make the best decision for us and that’s keeping our best players.

Richo and co have all said we are going to develop and grow via the pathways. The 1st real kid to make it comes through and we let them go - sets a big example for many others about to make the jump up.

We must hold firm on Galvin and keep him around for at least his contract.

I really find it hard to believe the bit about him yelling out in the sheds after a loss like that... saying he wants out.. I find it hard to believe he'd even be telling this to someone quietly... But then there's direct quotes from Richo saying he's going to call his parents into his office this week... So it's somewhat legit just how much I don't know
Can't. Imagine it's go down real well with coach and team mates yelling he wants out
