Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Flippedy]

We need leaders now ...none of these speccys me tioned are real leaders....i guess theres none available.
Currently we have a pimply 19yo being told to do what he wants and the rest have no idea what hes doing.
Terrell wants to be a leader but he seems to ve running on empty.
Api needs to lift another notch but i think he and Luai feel.hamstrung with Galvins free rein.
If kpp is for next year what other forwards are there and have been mentioned as possibles?
Not much that ive seen lately...frizell..tieg wilson (not a fit imo)...matterson lol.
im expecting disappointment

I honestly can’t believe Galvin is being allowed to just run the show especially when we have the likes of Luai in the halves. It makes no sense, especially since he’s bloody leaving anyway!

Stand up Luai and grab the reins, you’ve won 4 premierships, the kid has done nothing.

I think we'll see talks with KPP progress rapidly over the next week. Bradman Best has done a pretty serious hammy injury which could see him miss a couple of months according to NRL physio. I reckon the Knights will be desperate for Dom Young now & will be freeing up cap space quite quickly.

Did he do that last round?

I completely missed that news.

Did he do that last round?

I completely missed that news.

Was reported at midday he’s out 2 months.

Huge upgrades in Piakura, KPP, May, and maybe Reynolds for a season would make me smile. Comon Richo!

 

[Leichhardt_Logger]

i think we should be all over it honestly a solid player and walk up starter for us.

Broncos definitely fall into the category (top heavy clubs as mentioned by Richo) of club that we might be targeting.

Hard for Luai not to give Galvin the ball---------------he is always along side him. Can't shake him. Stifles the attack in a lot of ways., crabbing and poor grubbers.

Putting the Bronco’s salary cap pressure aside, I wonder if any of the Bronco’s players want to simply leave to get away from Madge? Could be a source of a good signing.

Wests Tigers board to discuss early release for Galvin​

May 16, 2025 — 2.48pm

The Wests Tigers board will on Monday discuss the possibility of whether the club should release Lachlan Galvin from the final year of his deal in 2026.

The Tigers powerbrokers want to open a conversation about what to do with the talented playmaker, including the potential of an early release from his current contract.

The Tigers have been bullish about their intent to hold Galvin to his contract, however there is the added layer of a threatened legal battle that looms around accusations of bullying.

It is a possibility the Tigers will demand a transfer fee from prospective clubs if they decide that it is in their best interest to release Galvin at the end of the season.

Galvin last month informed the club of his desire to depart at the end of his contract, with his manager Isaac Moses knocking back attempts from Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson to offer the teenager a lucrative upgrade and extension offer worth close to $6 million.

Galvin is on the radar of Parramatta Eels, while speculation has grown in recent days about a potential move to the Bulldogs despite general manager Phil Gould publicly declaring that his club would not pursue his services.

“We are not involved in the Lachlan Galvin discussion and we won’t be involved in the Lachlan Galvin discussion,” Gould said. “We wish him all the best.”

More to come.

do a Melbourne. free to negotiate but unless a prospective club comes up with a suitable player to swap he's held to his contract.

'If you don't let my client/me play first grade , I/we will sue you.

Now that's what I call bullying.

 

[TigerVinnie]

Ill be so disappointed if we fold for a 'transfer fee' - what does that get us? A couple of extra rowing machines.

Why should Parra benefit in 26 and we don't - let them play an entire year without a 5/8.

Tigers should be provided an adequate replacement or he plays out the contract.

Which scenario ...

1 A board member has leaked the board meeting agenda (which means this leak has not changed at board level)
2 Richo has purposefully & strategically leaked it (why?)

If it's 1, I'd imagine Richo & Barry will be deadset livid after doing their utmost to stop this shit!

 

[Wiz]

Moses wins again. When will clubs or the NRL stop enabling his actions?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Given there is a board meeting on Monday, I wonder whether any possible new recruits will be ticked off to announce?

Either way its a joke and embarassing

a flogging, information about players and board decisions in the media. Feels very 22-24 Tigers.

Yep and what's the same about the board from those years ... a HBG rep, WM rep & BT rep.
