I hope Galvin understands that his manager sees him as a cash cow and he can stay leveled headed as best a 19 year old canYes, hard to pay overs on potential. Big money usually goes to those who have done it, and can do it again.
I wouldn’t imagine Thurston was overpaid when he left the Dogs but his subsequent contracts would have taken some giant steps.
I think that’s how it will go for Galvin.
The 5 players I mentioned have all played tier internationals or origin with the exception of Nofoaluma who was a former Dally M winger. 2 of those players (Nof and JOf) have won the clubs player of the year, so proven they can perform here. I can certainly understand the viewpoint that they weren't necessarily quality players during Marshall's time here, but they clearly have proven to be quality when correctly managed.
I suspect only Nofoaluma has individual issues bigger than any coach could overcome at the time he was moved on. He is also the only one that I believe fits the description of previous coaches failing to address performance. Of the other 4 JOf was our player of the year in 22 the year before Marshall (and Sheens) took over and Utoikamanu played his Origin game in 23, Marshall's (and Sheens) first year. The other 2 weren't here prior to 23 to have performance issues under other coaches.
Yes they weren't playing particularly well here but is it not on the coach to get the best out of them?
Yes, moving on these under performers may result in a better squad. The hope is that the new improved squad being 'his squad' will mean he is better placed to get the best out of them.
The major concern for me is if he couldn't get those guys to perform well why will he get the new and improved squad to perform well?
If he waits till September, then he’s gone!And he will say thanks but no thanks.....Galvin won't make any contract decision before September
Why would he hold a grudge personally against api? Not picking him actually helps the tigers in theory.he held a grudge with tigers and Api at SOO
That’s why he left.Luai was offered 700K on his third offer from Penrith and at the time a 3 time premiership winner and over 100 first grade games
WC77. I agree that the roster was inexperienced and we did not have the same level of NRL talent on the park as the Eels that night. However, it was a I clear as daylight, that we did not turn up with the right mindset to win that game and pass the spoon on to Parra.Spoon bowl? Was it in reality? Truthful or a lie? Have no issue with honesty tbh. Call a spade a spade. His mistake was he hurt some feelings of some supporters that is all and done so without any intention. Facts are facts, let’s not beat around the bush. The team we had would be lucky to stay clear of the spoon in KOE.
RG,Calling everything I stated an opinion is an opinion itself. His press conference after spoonbowl was shameful. It was totally his fault and he looked like he didn't care. Picking AD in the team at centre is out of position.... but why should I back him in if I am very sure he will continue to be a failure?.... I haven't seen any game plans from last year that show us being a threat to even make it out of the bottom 4. All it takes is one big injury and we are getting the spoon again. And that's not pessimism, it's reality
No worries at all 😉 If I'm throwing it out there it is open to be challenged.@Jolls
Hey mate, I didn’t mean you are some opinionated boofhead, as it may read, as it was helpfully pointed out to me.
Words suk, numbers good.
I heard on SEN this morning that Manly offered him a reduced contract which he didn't want. He went to the open market and Saints offered him a T&T deal which he hasn't signed.He's on train and trial - Basically Zero Dollars.
Understand your prioritising,
But I'd have him in a heartbeat over at least 4 contracted players we're holding atm.
so Robson made the difference? They would have won with Api in the team tooHe won SOO, I think he picked the right team.
Robson was average.so Robson made the difference? They would have won with Api in the team too
Not a good look if you come to the tigers and not able to hold your rep jersey,
Tigers where your representative career goes to die...
hopefully Luai can hang on to his
Mate how rude and disrespectful that offer was either the cap was under pressure or they thought they could do without him, that was before the season blinder he had wonder if they regret it now hope it comes back to bite them on the backside.Luai was offered 700K on his third offer from Penrith and at the time a 3 time premiership winner and over 100 first grade games
even as a Tigers fan you can see what Madge wanted from his 9.Robson was average.
Blues would have won by more with Api.
have to remember the context of the time, Steve.Mate how rude and disrespectful that offer was either the cap was under pressure or they thought they could do without him, that was before the season blinder he had wonder if they regret it now hope it comes back to bite them on the backside.
Most likely and you know the snake in the grass who would be supplying the guidance, well it is his job to do so.And he will say thanks but no thanks.....Galvin won't make any contract decision before September
