Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No to Tyrone May please. I despise him for his off-field behaviour, but even if you don't consider that, he's just not that good.

I now trust Benji with Richo in the recruitment of players in terms of performance & character. They will do their due diligence especially via the Willie Peters link. Would be good depth as a backup half and opportunity to prove he is more.

Apparently he is being dropped for AD

I am a fan of dropping him but not sure about moving AD. He is pretty much one of our only centre options ATM and he needs all the game time he can get in that position. Moving him now would hinder our stocks and if we get any injuries at centre would cause further frustration to our side.

I would prefer we run with Mason at 5/8 who has shown a lot of ball playing potential. I think he is a smokey who would form a great combination with both Luai and Bula.

I think he will be named at 18th man and will make his way into the side on game day.

The attack was rubbish with Mason at fullback . And the KOE team was dire beyond belief with him in the halves .
Attack wise , we will be fine , as it will be the Jahrome Luai show . Which it hasn’t been since he got here , I reckon to stroke Galvins ego .
The issue is for me , Naden falls off a lot of tackles in defence . He can get caught arm grabbing at times .
But if he’s still in the positive “training the house down , looks like a different player “ phase of his career then I’m happy to give him a go . Apparently he was a man amongst boys last week against Newcastle in KOE.

That’s exactly how I would have played it if I was Benji . Pretty smart play . You hope the playing group would have your back , because of all the culture building you’ve been doing . But for the guys to come out , and be like “we got you Benji! ” .
That shits galvanising ! That’s how teams come together !
I reckon the boys are going to be pumped up for Monday . They’re gonna want to prove a point !

I feel the same. And it seems they all really like AD especially the way he has carried himself through multiple ACLs.

AD will be pumped for the opportunity to show his wares as a half too and has never shied away from responsibility.

Naden is a different beast when he has Luai leading him on the field

these guys never get things right so I would take with a grain of salt but then again I wouldn't be surprised if it was true

Lachlan Galvin is reportedly set to be axed by the Wests Tigers for their Easter Monday clash against Parramatta.

The news reported first by The Sydney Morning Herald, comes a day after the Tigers confirmed the teen star had rejected a new deal with the Concord club, which was said to be prepared to give him a five-year deal worth upwards of $5 million.

Galvin's impending departure - currently to happen after 2026 - has sparked internal unrest at the club, with reports senior players want the five-eighth to be replaced.

if players called for his axing, we need to back it up with a win this week

 

[The Chad]

As angry as we all are, Tigers just need to be careful they still meet standard workplace protocols so Galvin cant complain to the RLPA.

What did you do to the real Tito?

 

[Tcat]

If Galvin wants to go now, WTs just throw the unreasonable and then tell him and his management to suck the sideline.

Bulldogs = Chrichton
Manly = Olokuatu or however the hell spell it
Parra = No body id want, they suck.

💯
I’m told there is a lot more to this story than what has so far been reported.
Regardless of what has or has not happened for it to get to this stage, refusing to even consider a monster contract offer and then belittling the coach who put him on the map is just asking for trouble and was obviously all part of the plan to get released from the club ASAP.

Didn't the clown reporters say Mitch Moses is really good friends with Laui !?

Luai is a chance to go to Parra to replace Brown !?

These were the reports coming out of HQ just a few weeks ago.

How bout best buddy Mitch joins Luai at the Tigers ? There's ya headline.

we hold the cards now. Galvan and his team won’t want to hang about for a season and two thirds. For a 19 year old kid that’s forever, particularly in a hostile environment. But we can hold him and play him in lower grades, backup for injury, etc. and basically just use him up. If a rival club wants him early then a top drawer player swap. A transfer fee might appeal to Richo as a financially responsible CEO, but fans don’t really care about that. Fans care about wins and player signings.
If anything, the dressing room will be even more motivated now to stick it up the critics…and to show Galvan he is not required.

I would take Lomax any day,great finisher and goal kicker.

 

[Buttface]

I hear ya

I don't think hollow words from a turncoat will matter much, at this point.

I'd be announcing extensions to AD and TDS today.

No to your Man, Demps. I won’t be fooled again.
But yeah TDS.

 

[rihannafan1]

More than likely he is swapped for a disgruntled player at the club he wants to go to but that won't be clear until November 1st. In the meantime he'll be paid not to come to training.

Doobie is one of the worst 5/8’s I ever seen.
Hang on, Daniel Mortimer was he a 6 or 7?

Sounds like self entitled like Galvin tho
