Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The rumours first appeared on social media which speculated a mystery player was unhappy and wanted to return to his former club.

Leniu was then suddenly linked, which angered him.

As a member of the Roosters leadership group he fronted teammates to knock it on the head.

“He essentially said I am not going anywhere. This is where I want to be,” Crichton said.

“I think he was a bit pissed off that people would think we lose a few trial games and he wants out.

“It’s annoying when people talk rubbish. It’s just weird that you can make some bullshit up and run with it.”

Roosters skipper James Tedesco echoed Crichton’s sentiment.

“He’s handled it all pretty well. There were those rumours he just addressed with the group and he said it’s not true. He put it to bed pretty quickly,” he said.

TLT tomorrow, do we think there will be any major surprises?
Hoping Bula is fit, but assume it will be a straight swap with Mason if not.
Reckon AD and To'a get the centre spots after their trial form, with Turuva and Skelton nabbing the wings.
Can't imagine any surprises for the rest very similar to 2nd trial squad (+Luai), think Latu gets 14 and bird gets 15 jersey.
17 goes to either Si Fainu or Kit.
Is that good enough to get it done against Knights?

Done nothing lol.
Maybe if you watched the games you would stop saying such dumb things.
I’d try and spell it out to you but judging by your recent posts that would be a waste of everyone’s time.
Enjoy your ignorance.

Mate seriously the awy you carry on abt a NRL rookie who every expert and his dog can easily see the boy can play football. Last week you where comparing soccer with NRL by asking which soccer player could tackle our front rowers,fmd, now your comparing a player thats been playing for more than a few years to a kid that was easily the best rookie of the year and you reckon i should watch a game. All you do is talk shit abt players and coaches of this club and then talk up pretenders like Bateman and Papali. I suggest you leave the coaching and the expert opinions to people that have actually played some sport and not sit at home on the lounge bagging players and coaches. The expert of the keyboard. Tucker.... Only an idiot would sit there and have anything negative to say about Galvin. If he was at any other club you wouldnt have flogs like you talking all this shit. Give it a break ffs.

That’s absolute nonsense about Galvin ! Anybody who’s actually played the game will tell you that whilst he’s clearly a gun , he needs to settle down and allow the game to come to him / allow others to do their job . This is the only criticism I’ve seen of him , and others including me , think Potentially a more fruitful dynamic might play out with Latu in the 6 with Luai , rather than Galvin . Due to the poise he shows and how that might fit better with Luai . Who I hate to break it to everyone on here , but has the keys to the team . NOT GALVIN ! It will be whoever fits better with Luai.
For me , I could not give 2 shits . Whichever player helps us get to where we are supposed to be then that’s the one . If it’s both and we can find balance , that would be the most ideal .
I’m pretty sure that’s probably a pipe dream . So it’s the best man wins .
Galvins in front for now … but he might not be come round 26 this year .
He has holes in his game . I hope he fixes them and we win. But I also don’t care if he doesn’t and we replace him with Fainu . As long as we win!

Nah the hype with Galvin has reached absurd levels. Brooks had a good debut then the hype died down. He was one of the big 4 but that was made up by the media and even supporters didn't think that highly of him. He stayed because no one else wanted him.

Brooks was the next Andrew Johns. Brooks never smiled. He bought the hype. Galvin on the other hand. Is always smiling. He doesn't buy the hype. He loves the game. He doesn't buy the hype of mainstream media. Mainstream media is sad. What we have on our hands is a smiling assassin.

Here's the real question.

Would one pay any player $1 million a season after a handful of NRL games?

That is, in a nutshell, what we are dealing with and frankly it's madness to invest so much, so early, when Galvin needs to answer a lot more questions about whether or not he'll reach his potential.

2027 could be a big payday for him depending on how he goes between now and then. A million bucks now?...it's way too risky.
