[Vagabond89]

He's a smart boy to leave the WT, stay and there's a real risk he becomes Brooks 2.0.

 

[R_A]

If it’s true they offers 5m over 5 years with some backloading…don’t know what they’re supposed to do.

 

[Lefty]

The Eels will be very happy that Galvin will not be staying at the Tigers, they will be wrapped to get him back.

 

[JOJO82]

Isaak Moses behind all this, no doubt he already has a deal lined up for Galvin with another club.....such a scummy manager, but seems to always get good deals for his clients.

1000% they leaked out whatever the offer was to give other teams time to get their cap together for 2027 (and 2026 if he starts stinking things up and has a deal lined up)

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Ballsy to back himself to add more dollars to his new contract, in April

Read between the lines a handshake deal has been done already, no one burns a bridge like that or at the least uses it to up his price with prospective bidders.

Don't doubt it, but good luck to him if he does an ACL or has a long term injury

 

[HarVeeGee13]

No one thinks he’s going to the Roosters?

 

[Celticman98]

Our middles look weak still.

I'd be chasing Finau Latu, Ethan Bullemor and Trey Mooney to strengthen the position.

Need a another winger also. Depth there is limited right now. Here's the off contract guys after this season.

Yeah there’s definitely already a deal done somewhere. You don’t definitively say you won’t be at your current club unless there’s already something ready.

 

[Brad tighe]

there is a rumour getting around Fritz is being chased hard by Penrith for next season.

Wow!
Why would this be other than for money?

Frizzell?

Apparently the Galvin camp saying not for money but for a better coach....

If that's the case I don't see how he stays at the tigers any longer

Oh wow. Where did you read that? That’s actually really bad if true.

Edit: saw the stories. Wow.

 

[Seano]

Galvin did try to get out of the Tigers before, and he'd be mad not to follow the money. IDK who is offering more money than the Tigers though...as a young half he looks more like Kyle Flanagan than Sam Walker to me.

The Eels seem most likely as a Parramatta junior.

Of the off-contract wingers we probably can't afford Selwyn but there's some talent on that list...and Ken Maumalo.

 

[R_A]

So long as they’re not negotiating with Moses

I think something happened between them and Sualli as well in that regard

Even Tedesco split with him and took his former business partner’s (Wehbe’s) side

 

[Seano]

The influence Moses has over the NRL might be a problem but it's kinda wrong that Braithe who is also a player agent is firing shots at him on NRL360.

 

[R_A]

I am surprised (I assume) they haven’t put the hammer down on the same agents representing both coaches and players simultaneously. Been talked about for ages and I think it was Roy Masters mentioning how some don’t have duty of care (Isaac Moses has gotten into trouble in the past for this)
