This very risky from the Bulldogs. They are in 1st and now want to change their halvesz especially if Galvin and Burton are the choice as they aren't natural 7s

Yah I'd be shocked if there's not some unhappy people at the Dogs over this. It's just so odd - they genuinely don't need Galvin.

And given how bratty he and his family have been, if he's not starting he's not going there. Sure he might start at the bench for a week or two, but it won't last.

Only way I see it working over there is if they turn him into a lock immediately, which is where he is destined to be. And good luck in the middle Gal.

That is a bloody good point, to get Galvin for the remains of this season would be costing them around $400.000.
So with that team, how would they have any spare cap money. You would have to wonder ????.

Only 5 months of contract year left at 700k works out just under 300k. The interesting thing is they have Leo Thompson signed from next year as well - you would think they will have to let a few go.
 
I don't know that I've said it on here but privately I've been convinced he was going to the dogs for a long time now.

Phil Gould didn't just react this week, he orchestrated the whole damn thing and Galvin knew he had a deal at the dogs. Probably started around the time they hired Vella or shortly after they got wind of Galvin being unhappy.

Galvin might have stayed had they not have come calling.

Gould is up to his ears in it.

Parra have been played as fools being the team to take the focus off the Dogs having this locked up a long time ago. Sucks to be the Eels but this is what happens when real clubs play games with shit clubs. Us included.

All I hope is that Richardson is aware of all that has taken place and has formulated an outcome that suits our team. I'm sure he has and I reckon we will see it play out very soon.
 
Do you guys remember us getting rejected in hiring Laurie Daley for a coaching role because of a "conflict of interest"? Apparently, due to media commitments and its ties to wagering.

Abdo is just too scared to take on Gus.

But I'm glad to be rid of the cancer. The kid has issues.

Am I missing something here?

Don’t managers get paid as a percentage of their players contract?

If so, Moses (who if you believe most on this forum) has instigated this whole sorry saga, so he himself, could get less money 🤔

Doesn’t the way it’s played out, now suggest that the manager was just doing what the player requested him to do?

As I said at the start - Am I missing something here? 🤷‍♂️

Unless there is contra payments to the player or manager 🤔
 
Just to add a little more to this drama

The first press release Richardson did where he said we gave him the biggest contract but he doesn't want to be here etc..

Good or bad?

It felt like a strong move at the time, but I feel in hindsight it was the wrong move. Straight away, we made it a him vs us thing.

The media spin esp with Gus in it will now become that all Galvin did was to say that he won't be here from 2027 onwards and that we alienated and forced him out.

The perception for the last few years has been that we don't treat our players well and this just adds to it.

I like Richos strong mindedness and the exterior he shows. I believe that initial press release was a bad call.

Thoughts?

I rewatched the whole Bloke in a Bar interview recorded just before the PMs 13 game which LG made in 24.
It might just be my take but you get a sense that he was just treading water at Wests and his interest in the side waned when Sheens was sacked and Benji was named as coach.

It was as soon as Sheens was sacked that he started asking to be released.

Your missing the part where his manager organised "other payments" just like he did at Parramatta before telling players to lie to the integrity unit before being caught and suspended from the game. Make no mistake it'll be 700k on the cap and 300 - 400k from uncle Laundie in some roundabout way. And honestly if they can get away with it good for them. We've been fighting this uphill battle with the clubs with the financial backing for 2 decades, what have we done to give us that kind of ability. We need to get with it and get creative. Galvin wanted out but that's not saying that young halfback the dogs have can't be enticed, if cash money is needed to entice him go for it. If you can't beat them join them.
