Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No sense of humour?
Have you ever watched the current crop of ‘comedians’ and their feeble attempts at being funny?
I actually feel for the younger generation as they don’t have the same opportunities to have unmitigated fun, without everything they do being tracked, as previous generations.
PS Nobody can be a long term WestsTigers supporter without having a sense of humour.

Mobiles rule the teenagers and twenty YO's lives, how many times have you passed them on a walk at the beach or on a bush trail to see them looking at their phones instead of taking in the environment, they even walk into traffic glancing at them, what a waste of the best years of your life being ruled by a device.

Ben Dobbin reporting that he's heard a club is after Tyson Frizell to make an immediate switch away from Newcastle.

it's gotta be us, doesn't it?

- Pushed into the front row to accommodate Lucas and KPP.

- Close to Benji

- We have space, a bit of cap and a need for an edge.

Makes a lot of sense, JR.

34 this year, this year and next year only, he's still a beast though could cover till someone from within finally puts their hand up.

Pheonix Godinet will be 20 by the time Friz wraps up and will be well and truly knocking on the door. the more I think about it the more I like it.

He's got plenty for a stop-gap year or two with us.

Lord knows we need something to tie us over until we can go shopping properly for an edge.

Same.

Hopefully a growth spurt for Phoenix as well.

interesting with frizell i would say he will end up
at souths

for those following along
taylan may’s breach of avo was dropped as his wife changed a stipulation around contacting her

he has plead not guilty on all charges

Thought Dragons may possibly want him back too. Fits the mould of what Flanno is building, Wollongong a similar place to Newcastle

he's still a boy, but I think in three years' time he'll be where we want him physically.

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Also possible. Looks like they are clearing the decks.

Galvin rumours will fly here. I expect Cobbo & Pearce-Paul might be on their radar.

They do this every time their senior core moves on, they clear the decks have one or two poor seasons and load up on a fresh crop of young stats from other clubs.
Wouldn't surprise me if guys like Crichton and Radley are suddenly available too...

Not much else out there at the moment, was thinking about Kai Pearce Paul for next season until I had a better look at him on the weekend, tall twig like body shape would prefer a more powerfully built player at right 2RF for us enter Tyson.

Go to music festivals/concerts now. Instead of getting the full experience taking it all in they're on their phones showing the world how cool they are.

Interesting take with the Murray situation.

Lol they probably look at us and say how unlucky these arsehats are that there were no mobiles around in our day, deprived of the best thing since sliced bread.

I don't want a bar of KPP. I just don't see it beyond the physical attributes.

He could easily prove me wrong though.

 

[Nonotmeagain]

One more thing about old farts like you that all us reborn clocked the machine Gen Z'rs know is..........you've got no sense of humour.

But we have assets and excellent superannuation which keeps us old farts living well and whatever generation X, Y, Z or millennial etc pay for it. That's what keeps us old farts happy!!

 

[weststigers]

if Dylan brown can get roughly 1.3 million a year for 10 years Galvin will easily get that.

Talk of a mill a year for Galvin is premature. He has the makings of an elite player, but he hasn't had finished a second season yet.

Dylan Brown has played NRL and international footy for a long time and he has earned the right to ask for bigger money. To me, it's overs for him anyway. Remember Luai is on 1.2 mill. Either we got a bargain or Parra will overpay.

Assuming this season is an improvement on last, Galvin is worth 700k max for the next 3-4 years. He's not single-handedly winning games for us to command over a million just yet.

you heard something about Friz to Souths, Kade?

I figured with Keaon, Aitken, Schuster, Host, Duncan and Tommy Fletcher on their books the last thing they'd need was another backrower.

I don't think the market is necessarily set by what they have achieved, but more by what similar players in demand are getting.

Luai, Sam Walker etc...the bar for available halves players is up around $1m now, if they are considered in that bracket.

I think Galvin will be earning more than we anticipate.

 

[liltiger]

In a perfect world yes.
Id be surprised if Galvins crew will see it that way.
Hes their meal ticket and could earn somewhere from $12-15M in his career solely from contract payments.

That's the real issue with the whole Galvin thing, Isaac Moses.
