You mean, you had a negative opinion on Galvin (like you do on almost everyone and everything) and I was happy to be optimistic about him after 3 wooden spoons?
When Galvin said he's out, I parked my optimism and chose not to ignore Galvins weaknesses that we were all previously happy to ignore.
Your points about the way he played were right, but it didn't mean that the decision to invest in him to become our future leader was the wrong one. It doesn't mean that those who supported it at the time, were wrong. If we didn't try and just let him go, it would have been worse
Can you show me where it isn't the official approach?
Show me where Benji has confirmed the latter or been critical of JArome for not doing exactly what he asked.. I wont hold my breath...
Oh, you mean a post that said "Team First" after it was reported, that a self entitled little cnt, that Luai has put his ego to the side for, decided to slam the coach and team as not being good enough for him?
And yeah, I can say this, because the players were there and the players know what he said to them when he confronted the team. So unless you were there or can provide official documentation as to what happened - I am happy to believe it was made very fkn clear from Galvin his position and feelings about the club and his future. Prove me wrong.
If you've seen the pre-season footage, "Team First" was sprouted all throughout it.
It isn't offensive
It isn't a pile on top of Galvin.
It's saying we are a united team and we will fight together as a team, no matter what faces us...
Yes, it was an emotional reaction to a team mate talking trash about the team and coach....
But i'd suggest that this is the act of a leader who brought together the rest of the crew and Look at how strong the bond is between them....
Zero idea eh, and on a scale of 1-10 what is your knowledge of it?
At what level are you able to comment about a game plan, based on the rules of Tucker?
If he was full of hot air, he wouldn't be playing for the tigers.
Its still a 5 year contract. Has he suggested he's leaving?
Would you have signed a 5 year deal at the tigers without get out clauses, given where the club was at?
He is leading by example by making smart decisions.
If the tigers make the right decisions this year with Latu and future signings, I think you will see Luai remove the clauses (this has been reported in various circles).
What's his age got to do with it? He's an adult. being 19 doesn't excuse you from the law, so why does it excuse him from anything in the NRL?
Expecting better in what sense?
The team is the most united it has been in years (luai).
Tigers can make the top 8, even after losing Galvin mid season causing the disruption he did.
Based on what your position, If we are doing this well and this is without Luai putting in, then we should be top 4?
