High demand players cost a lot of money. If we're stuck paying all of it on the cap we need to be picky about who we offer top dollar to.

this goes beyond how much other clubs offer, even though you and I both know that Laudy got involved with these organisations...anyway.

I'll say it again, we don't have the people at our club at an administrative level to sell the dream and vision to a player considering his options.

You can’t sell a dream to someone who answers their door naked.

Ok....so Galvin tells others that he's off to Belmore before WT had their meeting about possibly releasing him while he's primed to go to the eels AND supposedly before the dogs had even spoken to him ....or were even allowed to speak with him. Apparantly you CAN make this stuff up!

hold on hold on...that's not what our little tigers mate has been telling us all along. don'y you even @Tiger5150 bro?

I’m not sure what the past has to do with anything. The goal is to continually improve. The Warriors had him on their books at one stage. Now the Bulldogs have him when they were in the absolute doldrums for ages. Are we any less resourced than them?
Gould is a wealthy old man. I don't think he does what he does for the money, not since he left the Roosters. He wasn't at the Warriors long enough to make a difference, which leaves the Panthers and Dogs, two clubs he has a personal connection with. In this sense, Gould's loyalty is a resource for those clubs, and not for us.

It’s all about ego. Like me telling you merkins the Bitcoin price.

I am thinking the Parra fans were the ones who were "played" more so than the Parra club.
The club didn't actually lose anything - we had to have a crack at getting Galvin and just lost out. The fans were given the impression (played) by the media that we were in the lead, the team to beat, but that came from the media who use Parra fans to sell advertisement.
Gould needs to be kicked off TV though. His grooming of Galvin was wrong.
