I think Luai back at 6 will be good.

I'm sure the tigers will be very very motivated for the next game.

Motivated ? . . . if we don't come out with a performance that clearly and simply states " Our coach knows his stuff, and what we did out there is to shut the doubters up " . . . well, I don't know what to say.
I'm fully expecting a dominant and ruthless display, the likes of which we have never seen.
If not, there's plenty of bourbon at home.
 
The players we have on our books will cover for Galvin. Our problem is if we want to go to the next level we need a player with a great kicking game not a serviceable kicking game. All the good sides have one standout kicker and a very good second option. We now really only have two serviceable kickers.

Great kickers give you field position, like Cleary,DCE and Reynolds. Iam sure Practice and coaching helps, but I believe the great ones are born with the skill. I guess that’s why I can see real value in DCE or Reynolds for two years
 
Seeing on socials that Jahream Bula is also managed by Cove Agency. Any truth to this? If so, I have no idea how we keep him at the club long term after all this. Moses will have him gone next.

Just some things to think about:

1. NRL player salaries are counted from November 1 to October 31. Since it’s already April, half the season is done. A player on $700k has already been paid about $350k of his teams cap. If Galvin leaves we save around $100k, so the real impact to our cap is only around $250k.

2. We need 30 players on the roster by June 30. Right now, we have 27 or 28, so we were already going to sign more players anyway.

3. We already had cap space to bring in new players. That money was going to be spent no matter what. Letting Galvin go might help us get a player from another team who wasn’t available before and fills anposition we are weak in. Regardless of Gakvin leaving, we are not weak in the halves.

Also, a chunk of any remaining 2025 cap space would almost certainly have gone towards the now defunct proposed Galvin extension, which would simply shift to any potential mid-season swap.
 
As if this is not contract breaking by design.
Bullying my arse.
No one at our club should be made to apologise for anything.
The NRL is at fault and it's about time they copped it and I hope Richardson points to the scum and his history and that's why the club needed to accelerate talks.
 
Re the Roster.
Has there ever been a quieter off-contract year?
The only incoming ‘26 player for a club I can think of is Dyl Brown. No other club has made a signing for next year as yet.
Usually all the off-contract players are just about signed by now.

Not this year for To’o, I’d wait until the end of the season. We have enough wingers, but in a position we need maybe now.
If we can manage it i’d rather him have to rot on his min contract for a while longer than walking straight on to a mill. That’s why he’s doing all this.
Anyway we need to be make sure everyone else thinks we can afford to keep him on min in reggies till end of 26, and still win games or we’ll loose the hand.

Penrith are absolutely team first. Not sure they would touch him with a barge pole based on what they’re seeing and no doubt the feedback from ex Panthers.
