One, because his own son had similar potential problems as he was coming through to grade.

Secondly, because it is very rare for the coach of another team to make a comment about a roster drama at another club.

thirdly, his history with the tigers and some of the players at the center of this?

.

Also, a team can't sign a player until he is on the market. None of this one year in advance crap that the nrl somehow does.

This is the real issue.

Have a free agency period after the GF and these situations go away. There will be rumour and innuendo but nothing more.

TBF there is nothing to stop a player 3 years out from his contract ending telling the club he doesnt intend to extend it. All a trade window does is determine when signing for another club is allowed to be made public.

1.2 million pa for him is huge overs for a 19 year old whose really done nothing

Tigers should copy the roosters and ban Isaac Moses

He should never be allowed to play first grade again for the tigers after what he said about Marshall

He should be punted this year

If it’s the eels they can let Dylan brown go

Tigers have taken the right steps and they shouldn’t cave to pressure from the rlpa

Its a calculated gamble. If he turns out to be the next Andrew Johns and the cap goes up significantly in 2028 $1.2mill until end of 2031 would be a steal. If he doesn't then its craps. Roll of the dice by the Tigers or whoever else is going to throw big money at him.

I was like this. Even felt sorry for Tigers.

Not anymore. Now I have turned, 100% against Tigers.

The bullying, hypocritical comments and actions from Luai, Api and Turuva are now looking pathetic and disgusting.

Those 3 were always professional, committed and never said a bad word about the panthers. All three left in a premiership note as well.

Galvin is a kid who is trying to have a coach sacked off about 30 games. If he wants to make demands, he paid millions and be a big shit he can put his big boy pants on and take the criticism that goes along with it. You can’t do all this and cry victim when people stand up for themselves and the club.

Agree, especially if (and I hope he doesn't) gets a career ending injury before his next contract is signed, he will end up with nothing and very little support I would imagine.

Galvin: I don’t like Benji.
Tiger players: Get f**ked merkin.
Tiger fans: Stop playing the victim, Galvin.
