Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GCfan]

Mate 100%. At 19 I was starting my second apprenticeship, working 7 day weeks (weekends were unpaid to get experience). Helping pay off mum and dads place, volunteering and starting a buisness i eventually spent the next 20 yrs working on.
This isn't a wowwee look at me post. This is a only being 19 excuse is pitiful.
I'd be livid if I was his dad and followed his managers advice. Galvin has been shown to be closer to 9 then being a young man.

All it shows is a generational shift in work ethic and predisposition to do the hard yards. Not saying all young people are like this but on balance there’s way less that are prepared to do what you’ve done from my experience.

It's an outlandish suggestion.

We have Latu Fainu,
He's up next & he'll be a star.

I think the point he was trying to make is a couple of key injuries in the forwards and we look weak.
Surely you agree we need more depth, you seem like a smart guy.

Ah, good, I've managed to trick you too.

Yeh, sure, we need depth.

But that wasn't the original discussion.

Please God no.

Reynolds is cooked. Latu has good foil there with Luai and the brothers.

Dont impede the Fainus.

As much as I have come around to Twal and Seyfarth, we need two back rowers.

Not gonna sign Reynolds. No way. No how.

Yeah, I’ve noticed the off the mark stuff too which annoys me. We need to do it too if they’re not going to police it.

An easy one to pull up is the crowding however subtle, because it’s a rule that it’s not allowed and teams should be getting more six agains . I hope our coaches point it out ahead of our game against the Storm.

That is how I would be utilising the "coaching insider" pressers. Answer whatever the question is in a few words and move onto the actions that the opposition this round really push to and over the limit rules wise.

Then bring it up again in the post match presser if not adequately policed, with say, 'I had concerns about ....... going into the match, and I will let you guys be the judge on whether that was addressed or not'.

I know Jimmy Graham is always strongly against the Tigers, but I watched him speak about this for like 30minutes without even considering Latu. Making a huge fuss about how it's another 10 steps back for Tigers etc... shows how much he has a clue... and generally, I'm a fan of his.

Both Brandon Smith and his co-host were very much in the 'no big loss' camp.

Yeah we’ve just had a logjam in the halves unexpectedly and spectacularly clear up. We don’t want to go back there. As it sits things look clearer with Luai and Fainu as first choice halves and Doueihi as support. We just need a solid NSW Cup guy or youngster as well. Maybe that’s Mason.

I’m happy to share post-game thoughts, but whether we win or lose, it has no bearing on your original claim — that he's "without doubt" a top 17 player. That’s an isolated and absolute statement.

If he is NOT a top 17 player why did Richo and the WT just offer him $1Million a season? A lot of money to offer a NSW Cup standard player. I will yell it from the rooftops that L Galvin is WITHOUT DOUBT a top 17 player! I am not a Gus Gould fan but he is a great judge of a footballer and his admiration of LG is spot on. Injury aside he will go on to be one of the stars of the game. Tigers need to win games and having Galvin in the team will increase their chances. TETL!

Bud Sullivan is at least getting game time now, decent back up if needed !

Yes 2 back rowers before June 30 is preferable

Seriously- what the Hell man?

This is way too coherant.

Luai, Latu....Doueihi....Bird....Mason....Falls.

We are good for halves.

I don't think any tigers fans should be listening to graham, he clearly has an agenda against our club and hes shown it numerous times. In the preseason he kept saying we would finish 17th or 16th, with his only reason being that tigers are not the bulldogs and improvement takes many years

he's horrible

sets up one

lets in two

only good with bennet and the team they have.

absolutely diabolical if we get him back

He can’t play by himself (despite what his father and agent think) and if his teammates are off him then he isn’t worth having in the team.

Last I heard a broken finger that had to be operated on.

but it's a worry, we have this young guy and Skelton who don't seem to be able to play two games without getting an injury, stains has become the same.

Didn’t he have injuries at Manly too or am I just imaging things?

he is an absolute waste of space … wants the Tigers to fall over so the Bulldogs can absorb the South West … a real germ

Yeah I listened too and agree. He can’t hear anything outside of his inital one second analysis.
