IMO, the $165k is a token so we are not complete doormats. It’s a face saving figure.
You’re correct re halves, but not sure about TDS, he’s our next issue, especially
given his comment about shopping around if we re- sign API.
So what should we do, play the long or the short game ?. Very difficult question when you consider how good API had been, but how much more is left in him.
And is TDS the new API ?

Is that working ? I don’t think anyone is too fooled that they haven’t been bent over once again …

All fair points.
I don’t know about his acrobatics, can’t say’s I remember one from him, but he looks the type, surely that’s in him? Hasn’t he done backflips after scoring?
Yeah he needs to work on his D all round but his kick defusal I thought was ok, has some issues, but safe enough.
But he is getting too dollar for a winger and for that I expect continued development, so I guess we’re paying overs bcoz of who we are, and that at his worst is a lot better than what we have, and if he continues to get better will be worth the money.
I’d rather be paying Tito $450 than Nofo $500. I think that’s an upgrade right there. I remember him scoring (I think) his first try at cambo? and it was an acrobatic freak of a try? He has been chasing that high ever since.
Anyway it’s fun watching The Claw when we’re up and he’s scoring.

love that the boys have been posting photos of each other together captioned “brothers” straight after the Galvin news dropped. clearly they are close and happy he’s gone.

Do we have many entitled juniors in our system? Galvin, Large, TDS anyone else want out of Tigers?
Yep it’s a hard one Hal,
That’s why Richo & Benji get paid the big bucks 😁
I don’t want to see API get hurt but would like to see what TDS has to offer if we needed him as a starting no:9 ?
As I remember from the trials at the start of the year some people weren’t that impressed.
Hopefully he will/has improved with maturity or at least showing improvement.
I remember an article stating that TDS was seen having coffee with Gus in the off season.

What you all have to be ready for now is that no matter how Galvin plays for the Dogs he is now a media darling, and it will be reported as such.
I happen to think he's a good player but regardless he is now judged differently as channel 9 will invest in making him a star no matter how he plays.
If you need evidence just take a look at how his game for the Magpies was reported. He was poor that day but all the showed was the 1 try assist when the game was dead and buried.
He will play in the channel 9 Origin exhibition series next year for sure.

Mahoney’s niggle is really affecting his value. Players like Ennis had subtly about their niggle. Ennis had a brain. Mahoney is a caveman and is too upfront. No nuance to his technique at all. Just an unlikable twat.
Wouldn't put it past Gusto promise Galvin that he would get TDS as well to clinch the deal.

So Pus Pooled finally gets his player that he has been courting publicly while on contract and the piss weak NRL; nothing to see here. 🙄

Canterbury have secured Galvin 3 and a half years at $750.000 a season.
What a load of bullshit this has all been, so effectively we have to believe he and his manager were willing to accept a $750.000 pay cut.
Over that period.
Then he hopes to fluke a further 3 year contract worth 1.25ml a season for another 3 years, so he finishes with the same amount in total that the West Tigers offered.

It’s a half a chance. I don’t think TDS was ever a chance of going to Parra. Not with Ryley Smith. Mahoney seems to be on the nose, so a play for TDS could be on.

Hopefully this puts an end to the "Gus likes Wests, he always talks well about us in the media".
The blokes an old school Tony Soprano. He praises his enemies while plotting their downfall.
We are the Bulldogs direct competition for the hearts and minds of western and south western Sydney.
Gould will always be plotting against Wests, it's just galling when forum posters believe his utterances.
