Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tucker said:
No one can officially offer him anything until November.
Additionally, Richo would have been aware that they weren’t prepared to accept any offers until they went to market. People on here have been saying it, our team would have known.

I know they can't offer anything till Nov 1. Then we have a bigger question that needs to be answered, Richo's been around long enough to know what's going on, the question needing to be answered is if no other club is in his ear with an offer before Nov 1 this year, then what was Galvin planning to do last year when requesting to be released multiple times, doubt he wanted to sit at home playing playstation for 2.5 years. He has the other offer all ready to go from I'd say round 1 or 2 last year. Richo knew when he was asking for a release he had another deal on the table, no sooner Richo was in the media saying he would involve the N.R.L that the release requests ended. Everyone knows it happens and currently is here, but proving it, is another thing. Honestly the N.R.L have more than enough to at least take a look, but they wont. Too much hassle, all the teams do it, just not as blatantly as it has here.

Like I mentioned to Tucker it's common sense really, he was asking for a release 3 times last year, doubt it was to spend 2.5 years sitting at home playing playstation. Reckon he's had the other deal from round 1 or 2 last year ready to sign. Think of this aswell, a 19 year old and his parents don't even look at a 5 - 6 million dollar deal, that would set his life up, they wouldn't even look at it, not to mention think about it, why? He's got another deal ready to go for more cash elsewhere, probarbly Parramatta. Don't care how much I hate my workplace, a million a year I'm giving serious consideration, unless the bloke next door is offering similar or more.

Very intetesting quotes yesterday from Super League re Tyrone May.

Hull KR set for major new recruitment focus as Willie Peters gives latest on Tyrone May future – Total Rugby League

www.totalrl.com www.totalrl.com

With Tyrone’s brother Terrell currently plying his trade for Wests Tigers in the NRL and halfback Lachlan Galvin seemingly on his way out of the Concord club, Willie Peters was asked about the possibility of Tyrone linking up with Terrell – and third brother Taylan potentially making the move further down the line.

“If there is an opportunity at the Tigers to go there with Lachlan Galvin leaving and if he can do that then he will have memories for life playing with his brothers.

“I would then assume that Taylan would be able to go there at some stage.”

No better way to build culture, resolve and comraderie with in the club with two sets of brothers making up 6 of our top 30, obviously if May can get his mental health sorted and his brother comes. Can't see how the bond brothers have playing togeather could be beaten by any other form of bond amongst teammates.

Not rd 1 or 2 last year mate, he hadn’t shown anything by then. The interest wasn’t there like it is now.
There no doubt he has verbals but it also looks possible he just wants out no matter what. Remember he tried to leave before he debuted.

Could we have Fainu brothers (3), Laulilii brothers (2), May brothers (3) and Pole brothers (2). Imagine!

Then in lower grades Johannssen brothers (2), Taotua twins & Lanyon brothers (2) all very good prospects.

Granted he didn’t get the deal done but he succeeded in flushing out a rat and reacting with strength, leadership and team unity. Would we have been in a better position at the end of the year? Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes it’s best to cash out early.

Emotive language aside we had this kid for the next 18 months for jackshit salary cap cost.
I agree cashing out early is a good thing sometimes, and if we keep using him until the end of 26, fair enough. If we leverage this info to bring a current rep centre or backrower here fair enough.
We’ll see what happens.

Yeah it would need a complete personality transplant, don't think it's possible at his stage of life, what a waste of a football career he could have been pretty useful.

Us Fisho's think alike, Steve.
I was gonna post the exact same think about a personality transplant.
But got stuck when I tried to fit in " lazy, entitled, team dynamic destroying, arsehole "

That doesn’t make sense though.
If this is all about money as you suggest, then they would certainly look at the offer but withhold a decision. They could have spent the coming months negotiating more out of Richo and then used that to leverage even more out of the mystery suitor. I mean this is negotiation strategy 101.
Instead they told Shane “don’t bother mate, we’re not interested”. I have the feeling they would have knocked back 7 mill.
 
He had a contract offer from manly last year . Thats why he wanted out . Also the dogs were interested . It’s been well reported that now !
He’s obviously got an eels contract offer on the table .
So this “he just wants out because we suck “ bullshit is not true . It’s just not true . In fact he didn’t just want out when asked before he’d even played an nrl game . He had offers in the table .

Thats a stable environment for Galvin to develop at 🤣

Joe O and Shaun Lane within 24hrs… this reeks of I Moses using his leverage over Eels to improve their squad if they want to sign Galvin. 😀
He’s got them by the short and curlies! 😆
Watch as they fill their roster with ‘his’ players.🤣🤣🤣
