So Andrew Voss ins't fully fact checking when he hears roumers of our players and surgery...
Anyone else thinking we could have some fun with this! 😉
haha honestly nothing about olam
a little to add
- the club and his manager & father have been in discussion, the kid genuinely loves the club and wants to play with his mates
- the bottom line is he wants to be paid and is backing his ability to sign a very rich deal with the club
i also dont think dylan brown has much to do with his future , family arent the most impressed with his treatment as a junior
one think to add , i think latu is the clubs long term six and galvin to 13

Any idea what the magic numbers are and if the club will go for it?
I'd love to hear that the plan is to turn him into a 13 but wouldn't be surprised if he flatly said "no I want to be a 6"
He has said in an interview previously that he knows he’ll probably end up as a 13 but wants to be a 6 as long as he can. Even he knows it’s his future.
Personally i Skelton is the winger to be excited about.
thanks @kade7 !!!
But surely the club know he’s worth more than $300k or whatever he gets this year and next
And surely they know people are going to be offering him close to a million
So why don’t they just up his contract this year and next and pay him a million a season for 4 seasons?
For any other club to compete with that they would have to offer him like 1.7m per season for the first two seasons he is available.
No one can do that.
We have the advantage - so why doesn’t Richo just pay him more now?
What am I missing?
Like why are waiting or risking another club like roosters dogs dragons etc offering him a 10 yr deal at 1.2 that ratchets up to $1.7m

They offered Tedesco more money than anyone else, but he still chose to leave …
Galvin is waiting to see if they can win games … it’s pointless asking anyone else now if he is staying , because he and his team don’t know themselves yet.. he wants to play at a winning club …
But his first preference is for that winning club to be the tigers .
Win and he stays. Lose and he goes . It’s a very simple equation of which “he goes” will probably include Benji , and then Luai as well .
Such is the strong opinion of most that this team should win games of footy . I’m saying anymore than 14 would be considered urealistic , but not wining every other game will bring the eyes of the footy world down on this club.
And it should . We should win games this year . And I think we will . So the whole previous 2 paragraphs were a waste of time because the kid will re-sign .
Soo relax and enjoy the ride . Jesus …
That brings back memories, I too played many games on that great grass , it doesn’t happen any more

Perhaps we need the extra 700k ish the next two years you propose to sign decent 2nd rowers and centres? It’s not just about Galvin.

I'm outdated but I'll happily wear that tag and I am commenting based on your post. NRL players are professional sportsman, and the top players are well paid win or lose. Winning is fundamental to competitive sport however it is not always possible. All teams or individuals go onto the playing field or court to win, Adopting the position that you will stay only if your team is winning, or you want to go to a winning team is not the mindset imo of a team player. Players such as Luai, one of the biggest signings in the NRL has the confidence to come to the WTs. And what constitutes a winning team? The Roosters, Canterbury or the Panthers? What is your view on this?

When you consider we paid Hastings 800k to be a car park attendant and stand around and point at things, 1 million would be a bargain price for Galvin.
Do it now Richo.
Do it now Richo.

Is your offer contingent upon him signing an extended contract eg 4 year deal?

If Richo thought $700k would do it and galvin would extend for another few years he would give up a second rower and center this year and clear more dead out.
As Gould said - whoever has Lachlan galvin in their team in the future will win premierships
Signing those two positions in front of him IF he would take the money would be disastrous.
Teddy left and the chooks won 3 prems.
Richo is smarter than all of us anyway - he knows that it’s the biggest priority the club has I’m sure
It’s not pointless to ask Kade questions to see if there’s any updates
I’m a fan living in hope
Let me
OR he could have simply confused the 2 names whilst commenting on it

Hypothetically though, if the cap doesn't increase and Galvin dies go to 13 and Latu is our long term 6, could we justify paying 1 million to a lock, how much would Latu command if he develops.
