Galvin to depart Tigers

[Bates]

I watched the Danny Weidler, Galvin interview today.

Galvin appears to be a nice lad and quite intelligent. He had nothing but praise for Benji Marshall.

Of course no one can have a different opinion to you.
You know everything.

I know that the Tigers don't have the second best spine in the comp that's for damn sure

[Mickie Lane]

Tigers have the second best spine in the comp lol sitting in 12th with the 6th lowest points scored and a points difference of -54

Gould will wave his magic wand and viola, Galvin will be the Bulldogs 7 next year.

You're welcome

The Tigers spine would be the second best in the NRL after Melbourne.
Bula, Galvin, Luai, Api, Deadly
A lot of credit has to be given to Richo, he's up there with Gus in knowing the salary cap, putting a good competitive squad together, player talent, recruiting & bringing good support staff in for the coaching staff & the players.
Benji is a better coach than I gave him credit for
They have to some how work something out with Galvin because he is the next Brad Fittler (you'll see)
The Tigers look fit & suddenly May, Doueihi, Pole, Turuva, Fainu & Staford To'a are all playing to a high level & then you add their spine to that & they're a top 8 side if they stay fit.
Im so glad they're firing.
Buy of the year Luai
2nd best buy of the year Tyrell May

I think their spine has the potential to be up there but at this point unproven. Agree Melb first but Brisbane with Walsh Mam Reynolds and Hunt has to be regarded 2nd. When we get all back Teddy, Sandon/Hugo, Walker , Conner/Cheese is also in the argument.

I am in a trouble-making mood. Richo admits to arranging a third-party deal as part of Galvin contract negotiations.

That's definitely a no no!

That’s exactly right zac. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.

doesn't sound like we're in the running but it's a tricky one. if the club frequently overlooks guys who've come through the system, those players won't have confidence that the roosters is their home, and yet to win comps you need the best players possible.
glad i don't run recruitment.

how good are our young halves coming through? i've never seen elliott or rodwell play but they'd have to be pretty good to be destined for a better career than galvin who is already an established first grader. galvin's younger than both sandon smith and savala, slightly younger than elliott and slightly older than rodwell.
not saying i want us to chase galvin but if the club thought that was the way to go then i wouldn't complain.
people are saying parra is a done deal but if he's left the tigers because of the coach is ryles so inspiring?

This is why Galvin will never be a Rooster.

DCE maybe on a 2 year deal makes sense. Rodwell will be 22 when DCE contract expires.

I guess that depends on how good they think Rodwell will be. Also, Nick won’t negotiate with Galvin’s manager anyway.

If we signed Galvin, we would lose Rodwell and a few other of our halves in waiting as this would effectively block their path to the NRL. Of course Walker is our other locked in half.
