Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Canberratiger]

he asked for 2 releases before a ball was kicked last year, if you know the parents this is not a surprise for "little lachie"
as soon as i heard froday brooks could go final year the pieces start to come together,

That is the feeling I got with how much his parents seem to be mentioned whenever there is chatter around the situation. I wonder how happy Onitoni would be if Manly get Galvin...

 

[The Chad]

good, we need to make a statement & not develop players for another impending club

Being fair- if Galvin puts in & plays to his ability- you play him.

Punishing him for signing elsewhere makes the club look small.

It is in the club's best interest to play him if he is playing his best.

What this now does is takes away the question of if Galvin is playing ahead of, say, Latu simply to make sure he sticks around.

That is off the table now. Either Galvin plays well & is selected.

Or Latu outplays him & Galvin is shifted.

Contracts should actually no longer factor into the Tigers selection process.

I would be going hard to extend all the Fainu brothers and even talk to Mario Tartak about giving Manase an opportunity to T&T the 2027 season I think it is after he comes out of the clink. He'll only be 28/29 then.

So it brings us back to why did Richo give onitoni a early release, doesn’t make sense if Galvin wouldn’t sign a new contract

I have friends that know them and yes the dad is quiet involved shall we say

Large was behind Galvin, Fainu and Luai.

Long way down the pecking order.

Understandable.

that was a stupid decision by Richo, he hasn't made too many however this one is not good

 

[barnsta]

The team needs to build combinations, Latu needs the nod over Galvin once fit. Galvin can be back up half until he leaves

Disagree.

Whats the point in continuing with someone with a known expiry date.

Can we put Galvin in the Timmy the Tiger costume?

NO , NO , NO , the rat has played the club , since before benji gave him his chance , he was never going to stay , I say let him rot in the lowest grade on the bench, thus sort of crap has been going on for years it’s about time our club got hard on players who just want to use as a terminal for there next club

Galvin's Knocked back the tigers generous offer of 5m for 5 years
SMH

He is currently not worth 1ml a season, more like 750,000,

And I feel when he gets the ball it's a case of don't go to Luai, I can do it myself,
He seems to hog the ball,
He and Luai as yet are not combining very well.

 

[user118245]

@kade7 any news or rumours to cheer us up today? Think lots including myself could use it

 

[JB9918]

It's smart business & the statement is clear. He will be with us until the end of 2026. Gives us the power & options going forward.

Moses will need to stick with rules of no negotiation before November 1. Obviously there will things happening in the background but this early move could get him unstuck.

We have the 3 x Fainus sorted, Richo will play the slow game & watch what falls out of the tree.

I would prioritize resigning Douiehi (1 year), Naden (1 year), Mason (2 years) & we have Makasini coming through. That's our backline sorted.

Main targets needs to be lock & 2nd row. Simples!

So you can win games. If he's the best 5/8 at the club, which he's shown to be, you pick him

It's much more important that the team wins game then just dropping one bloke because he wants to leave.

Dropping him out of pure pettiness makes the club seem extremely juvenile and unproffesional

Understand people thinking different as they're upset and emotional about the situation.

 

[batboy]

Brooks and Galvin are both Moses clients. Should be interesting.

So are Mitch Moses and Galvin,
(Already had a sit down apparently)

agreed such a great power move by wests, send best offer if no's the answer then see ya, gone are the days of being strung on & left with nothing! we are not a stepping stone anymore WE MOVE! nobody is bigger than the club

let me go start the brooks 6 moses 7 galvin 13 rumours in the parramatta forums

We saw what he is like by himself without a dominant 7 and he shyed away and went quite.
I am happy with the club's stance today

Should Penrith have dropped Luai last year?
