I wouldn’t go to PNG regardless of $$ for an extended period of time. Work there enough to know how it is.

Didn’t say he should or would just more that the kid has options and knows it.

Many years ago a friend went there with his wife and daughters worked for a big bank he was promised everything security wise after 6 months wife and daughters left him there to finish his contract another 2 and a half years money is not everything
 
Galvin's defence is sus. Dropping of players.

Kudos to him for backing up after missing the initial tackle - just its a bit too late when he makes up for it for it in effort after the opposition has scored with him clinging on to their legs in the mayhem.

Terrible defence. Initially. Created the chaos. For a man.

For a kid. Defence was sufficient according to body height and mass. Different story. Still growing. At least he tried.

Great young player who will only keep getting better over the next few years with added experience and maturity, BUT is he worth a million dollar per season contract ?
My opinion is he is already a very good player and is virtually the face of our team, it would be a disaster to lose him, but the issue is he is definitely not worth a million dollars per season yet and probably won’t be for another 3-5 years.
On the flip side you have to ask the question will he be more valuable than Luai in 2-3 years time, considering Galvin is already far outdoing Luai in line breaks, line break assists and try assists, all the stats you need to see top class halves excelling in.
Luai has provided us great leadership, but can we continue to justify paying him 1.2 million per season in 3 years time if he does not dramatically improve his line breaks, line break assists and try assists ?

As ink said above. Danny Weidler saying it's hard to get word out of Tigers camp but they think 5mil/5years.
Also says the Roosters are not interested due to his manager.
Gould says he hopes Galvin stays.

Goulds comments on the money is interesting. He is not wrong, but is he trying to offer up an alternative if Galvin wants to move away from the pressure of carrying the Tigers?
 
The more I listen to Phil Gould, the more I believe his insight.

Galvin isn't worth $5m.

He'll probably get it. And then he has to live up to it or get torn apart by fans & the media.

And if he leaves the Tigers for money- Gould is right. It's the tragedy of the modern game, where development & loyalty are secondary to management greed & fast cash.

Having 2 half’s on over $1 million & 2 back up half’s (Sullivan back next year) on over $500k is not good salary cap management…

If Galvin is signed to that kind of money- a position needs to be found for Latu Fainu or he sucks up too much of our cap to be a back-up.

Then the club needs to find a place for Sullivan.

When you have Doueihi & Mason also on the books- that is 6 viable halves in the squad- not including Bird..
 
If it’s true re 5 yrs $5 mil for Galvin, the advantage we have is we can front load his contract potentially this season and definitely next season. So the spread can be evened out somewhat, he gets a hefty upgrade for the next 2 yrs. I’m presuming it’s 5 on top of his 2 left but it could be 5 yrs inclusive, either way we can still lessen the blow on the cap more than if he signs elsewhere.
Still think Gus wants to get his hands on Latu and if we resign Galvin he may get his wish.
