Can't stand Politis, but on that he's spot on, wish we could do the same.
Richo and the Tigers have the $$$ War Chest,
Im certain we will match or even exceed any offers.

You live in fairyland mate.
If results don’t improve this year I don’t think it would really matter if we ‘match’ other clubs

I really hope we don’t.
I guess you find it hard to take a joke.
Galvin will be one of the best in the years to come. Still under 20.
He is a fittler, Laurie Daley type player.
This is more than just hype.

I only want our club to sign players who for one , want to be here with out a huge fight Over money .
I would like to see players stay or come to this club thinking we will be competitive and play for us for fair coin , I know it won’t happen as there are players that think they are worth much more than they are , EG
Dylan Brown , Newcastle 10 years 13 million , that is down and out crazy , Brown at present is worth no more than 750 , he was crap in Parra first game , and was bog average last season , Newcastle just signed a problem down the track , if Galvin won’t sign an upgrade and extension now he is in two minds , so we give him another 8 games to decide , if he doesn’t sign I would go all out on Latu , and bring him into the team and take over galvins spot , but I would not release Galvin until his contract expires , again hard but fair , and if a team come looking then we can swap him out for a player we need at first grade level , Galvin is hear for 2025 and 2026 , so if he wants out it costs him and we only can come out in front , gun player for gun payer , SIMPLE

Fittler and Daley had an X factor about them. They were big blokes who had explosive speed. They hit the line with power and had the ball skills to keep the play going after they had broken the line. They were also committed defenders.
He may end up as good as them one day…there’s certainly little indication currently that he will, but you never say never. I do believe he will have a lengthy first grade career.
It hasn’t been a great start though and for that reason I think it’s madness to reward him in such a way.

You’re setting yourself up for an almighty disappointment.

He’ll be gone soon enough. No need to lick his boots so ferociously
But on a serious note, Broncos game 2018 Raiders game 2023 are two that come to mind
Remind me how you get me ‘licking his boots’ out of questioning your post acting like you know what he said in the dressing room?

Lachie's rapid ascent is ill timed for our salary cap strategy. He will command too much money for us to even be the highest bidder.
So far I have not liked the look of how the gameplan looks with him at 6 anyway. They are weaponising his fitness by making him run himself stupid criss crossing across the field to create artificial overlaps and that has worked almost every time but he's busting a gut so hard to get there that by the time he gets there he isn't composed enough to calculate the correct decision. He has pulled the wrong reign on almost every possible try scoring opportunity created by that structure.
It appears to have been their entire attacking gameplan and it relies entirely on not only his fitness but him being an expert at instantly summarising the right play to make. His strength as a player is getting the ball early with time and space and threatening with his feet. He instinctively is a catch and run player which when put in a situation where most of the time the correct move is catch and pass he is missing the queue each time.
Benji and the team have worked against his natural instincts with this gameplan imo. I am worried if they don't have a plan b this year. Galvin is going to take ages to develop the ability to instantly catch and pass to the correct option. He's going to need to guess.

This will play out the exact same way Turdesco played us out….Galvin is as good as gone…

Ideally we pick up a lock and an edge player so Twal goes back to the front row rotation and Pole and Seyfarth come off the bench. This makes us a far better side.

Was reading the article just now and Pezet was also mentioned as a possible target for the Eels.
To which Anastasia (autocorrect, but I'm leaving it!) divulged that if Hughes re-signed, Pezet has a clause in his contract that means he is a free agent.
Is Anasta managing NRL players whilst his other/main job is having his opinions on the NRL and NRL players broadcast and published nation wide not a conflict of interest?!
Yes, it's drawing a long bow, but you could argue he is putting out inside information that has effectively told Parramatta his client's availability, in a way saying "Hey, my client is available"....
It was the same when the Tigers were apparently chasing Munster. Iirc, he is his agent as well.
I really don't get how he is able to do both? Surely it's a conflict of interest? 🤔
