If he plays this year like he did last he will get more.

Brown is seen as flakey

Lachie is seen as always on the ball

Plus clubs are desperate for a half/creator

He’ll get more money than brown

A gentleman’s bet perhaps?

He’d want to be a lot, lot LOT better than last year if he wants good dough.

How good is Bevan French.
I know he is only playing against Super League opponents, but he would be high class back in the NRL.

According to the Rooster chair and Board, Robbo is safe as houses….

Full support of the board 🥴

Let's hope Luai lives up to his $1.2 mil!

No finals no job for Robbo , been there a long time , gun teams not great results for a while now

Ring Webster and offer AD for a centre or 2rf richo

Noone has suggested anything resembling a "dreamy utopia"....

The rest of your post is just ignorant opinion - thanks for sharing!

What was ignorant opinion apart from the "dreamy utopia" part. He did receive deals from souths and eels. He was one of the best junior halves growing up. None of that is relevant now though

That is the kiss of death. Full support of the board, sort of like Richo with benji atm

I don't know if he is a ball hog or if there was just nobody else last year but I am expecting a better season from Galvin with less time on the ball but better quality touches

And his comment about Luai being a teacher's pet sounds of jealousy I hope he is not jealous but he is 19

Honestly if Galvin left and become great it wouldn't bother me, as long as if Latu takes over and kills it. It's not about a great individual, it's about a great team. Great individuals like ponga win dally ms, not premierships. Ask any player what they'd rather, and it's the latter

Rumour from a close source is that Robbo is on thin ice at Roosters and if they don't make the top 8 this year which is likely he will be sacked. Early replacement is Matty Johns according to my source

Seems a lot must have gone down in this off season considering Robinson and his wife were injured whilst on an offseason get away on one of Politiss' Properties just a few months ago....

10 years of Brooks didn't teach us that quality halves are hard to come by.
Great halves like Cleary win 4 premierships in a row.
We've finally got our hands on a potential dynasty building half, let's not just let him go.

He'd get battered from pillar to post - Just like the rest of them
(And he was when last playing real football)

Not many come over from the old dart recently and make it, only a couple of Aus teams seam to pick the right ones, not worth the risk for us.

Well we don’t need a 5/8, but he’s an exceptional ball runner/playmaker and would be perfectly suited to fullback in the NRL.
If Bula and/or Mason reach their potential this season we won’t need a fullback either, but that’s a let’s wait and see situation.
Bevan French is bigger, stronger, smarter and a much more complete player since he was playing last in the NRL playing on the wing for the Eels.
I’d say it’s highly likely he plays out his career in the UK Super League at this stage.

Galvin is never going to reach the heights of cleary. Not even close

Cleary's the GOAT, but Galvin's the next level down, still as rare as hens teeth.

He has filled out since he was playing NRL. No smaller than any of the other guys getting around today.

Not many do, but he was at a similar level to Cleary as an18y.o so it’s a big statement to make in saying he will not become a player of a similar status.

He probably will the trouble is it may not be with us.
