Do you think Benji being a notable speedster in his day alongside a not so slow half in Prince will persist with Galvin in the halves or would prefer to use Latu’s speed? I think the spine will look different by the end of this season.

Nevermind, I don’t think you were part of the original conversation that was more for @innsaneink
Evey person and their dog can see he has talent. However he is young and has an intense spotlight on him. We just need to watch and see how he adapts to it tbh. My opinion is if we sign him its gunna cost us. If thats the case we have a season to observe how he develops and whether he is actually worth the million we will have to pay. I actually think this benefits us more then him. 2 million dollar halves is tough in our cap.
End result is someone will pay a mil. We have to be in the box seat but i dont see the rush. Are we sure he is a mil player? im not yet but he def has the tools. So lets wait and see and pay or not based on his performances.

I'm not sure, but let me ask you this.
Do you think Brooks was worth over $1 million a year?
And if it does happen and Sharpe becomes hot property and his manager does the same you then hope the same for him?
No wonder you named yourself after a clown of a wrestler.. arriba!

He should never have been elevated for mine. That was a huge mistake that we will pay for later this year.
His greatest strength is how busy he is. He is a competitor. When you have a guy playing like that who is very young, in a side full of guys who are appearing to not be giving their all, he stands out. This is how he has become over rated...he actually didnt do a lot last year despite looking like he was.
This was proven in great detail when Freddy made the bonkers decision to make him starting 5/8th in the PMs 13 game. Against a higher grade of opposition, he looked like a kid trying to swim who has only had 1 week of lessons.
Luke Brooks resembled Andrew Johns when he came on to replace him.
He is good, but is at te very start of his journey. People want to pay him like he is halfway through it.

Fletcher Sharp is a hell of a player. Puts to bed nice and early and talk of Brown playing 7 next season.

Iam sure we did make a substantial offer, but Galvin’s agent is banking on the assumption Galvin will get a far better deal by going into a November auction with multiple clubs bidding. I also have no doubt a few of our parasite clubs have already put offers to his agent.
One thing for certain he will get a big fat contract

Of course, this is the NRL, however they are working on minimising confusion.
They are doing this by Cancelling the Monday explain-a-thon featuring Graham Annesley.
This was the much awaited weekly session where everyone was left scratching their heads wondering, "what just happened?"

Let's face it Moses will be wanting 1 mill min you know how greedy he is for his clients.
Is he worth it now well factor in this, he is not that fast, he is still growing and could get taller as well as fill out, he is still very raw and a lot to learn looked good at times last season when opposition didn't know much about him they are onto him now so will be closely watched.
Is he worth that silly coin well you be your own judge.
I agree if he does start to prove his worth by becoming a great playmaker this season, we will have to decide whether we match the market and even then he may not want to stay.(regarding him possibly going to para if para win the wooden spoon this year I’m sure he won’t be going to them as well.)
I watched the Gould podcast yesterday and I agree exactly what he says-. Playmakers are in high demand and there’s not many of them. If you have to pay over the odds for him you have to work out if he’s going to be a once in a generation player-but only time will tell if he fire’s this season.

We've got 26 more games plus a finals match to go 🤣 , so plenty of time for him to prove his worth and us to make a decison on what value he is to us going forward. We have already tried to get an early commitment and been knocked back. Now it is a matter of watching how the develops over the season to make an offer on what his value is to us. I'm just as interested to see how Latu develops.

If Sheens got one thing right it was the need for speed in the halves, this guy is like a Cheetah, in a perfect side think you need 1 out of the 2 halves in your side to be quick, something we haven't had since Benji being the fast element and Prince the organizer.

If we're going with the kid angle, then this is where his parents should step in. It's his decision if he wants to leave, but showing any disrespect to the Tigers in the meantime when they have bent over backwards to make him happy is not on.

I am trying to work this out.
So he is 85kg and tallish at 193cm.
As a back he will go alright but I am worried about him making tackles. He has the muscle so it works out.
As a forward... I just see a ragdoll.
Sure in attack he would be a nice and energetic lock. Then in defense he would just face 100kg monsters...

100% there would be verbal offers now , that’s why I would let his agent be free to negotiate, we need an answer to set this club up Latu is in reserve grade but if Galvin was going mwould swap them straight away of play Galvin off the bench and get Luai / Fanu combo going , Luai has already said Latu in a great player maybe he knows Galvin will go

Makes perfect sense. We cant let this drag on all year or we may lose both of them.

Jolls if Galvan and Sharpe from what we have seen at present were off contract at the same time and their managers were wanting 1mill who would you pick.

Sharpe

At a mill right now I wouldn't select either. I would pass on them both and develop Latu. The $ saved would be for a beast second rower and a lock. If I had to choose on what has been shown it would be Sharpe; however, if I was on the recruitemnt staff I think I would perservere with Galvin; I think he could be one of those unicorns that come along every so often that you can build a team around.
