Hopefully he’s carpooling to work with his brother & JL very soon

Hopefully he's kept his fitness up.

The court was told Mrs May had previously applied to vary the conditions of the AVO so she could contact her husband, and indicated she would like to withdraw the charges.

The domino effect has begun with Dylan Brown signing with Newcastle? Should we start to pack Galvin's bags now?

No secret Galvin loves the Eels. I don't really care.
What I do care about, is the team that trots out for us each week plays to near exhaustion. No pussies.

No but I'm not getting worked up about it. I'm more concerned with his form this year.

The Wests Tigers are ready to explore the prospect of signing Taylan May - and linking him with his brother Terrell - after the former Penrith star was given the green light to return to the NRL by ARL Commission chair Peter V’landys.
May missed the bulk of last season after being charged with domestic violence offences but the charges were withdrawn on Monday morning by police, meaning the no-fault stand-down rule was no longer in effect.
May is now free to return to the NRL and his manager Ahmad Merhi confirmed he was hopeful that he could tie up a deal for the 23-year-old within days.
The Tigers are at the front of the queue given they have space in their salary cap and his brother Terrell on their roster.
As well as his brother, May played at Penrith with Tigers recruits Jarome Luai and Sunia Turuva. Merhi said May was relieved that the charges had been withdrawn and was now intent on reviving his career.

I hope we get this done. I also hope he comes back with his head on straight and he is ready to go.

I want to see so many conditions on the contract that you can hardly see the original template..We have the controlling hand and if we go in with rose tinted glasses it could be a nightmare. Especially if he’s paid overs. He’s not Terrel. I know he got off but fkn everyone gets off. It doesn’t necessarily mean a thing. Even Terrell said he’s a weirdo with how he behaves although he is his favourite brother

 

[WA Tiger]

Far as I’m concerned anyone who’s willing to put that tat around his neck - somethings up. I certainly wouldn’t want him as a boarder
But for sure he’s talent plus

Parra told him to f**k off, why would he go back there.
Why would he even want to go there, I think our upside is higher.
Our money is a good as anyone's, I think we are getting a team together to be very competitive in the comp.
In saying this, I think he will end up in the forwards (lock), but not yet, whether that will annoy him, I don't know.
But I think that will happen with whoever he played for.

In one of our weakest positions.

Agree, he's only 23 (I believe) so he still has a future in the game.
We have money available, when Olam retires, he will be a good pickup.

Like most young players he will be heavily guided by his manager (Guess who).

I dont think Galvin is a long term halves option at the Tigers so they will not pay him halves money.

Uncle Isaac will extract as much money from Parra as he can and then manage both their halves. It's going to be hilarious.

Parra fans already frothing over Galvin when they would be much better having a red hot go at Latu. Poor bastards will go a lifetime never winning a comp.

I would hope that the thinking would be something like getting Gal into the forwards eventually and bring Latu into the halves.

Galvin will go if we do this. The club is already at the stage where they need to make some tough decisions. We should do what is right for the club.

Again that’s backtracking from Benji… Can he drop Galvin if he continues with his “carefree” attitude.. He needs to and despite Hopes ineffectiveness last weekend Benji hinted he might be able to, by picking him on form..no doubt a bigger decision but even some of the greats end up on the sideline early on in their careers

 

[WA Tiger]

I’d love to know what’s behind Tallyn’s smile in that photo as he’s coming out of court..Just that he’s free or is there more ?? Now that’s a real smile

There certainly needs to be a conversation with him, if that’s there thinking.
But I do believe he’ll end up there, where ever he goes.
Tbh, I like the idea of having both in the team.
