Galvin

[Tiger05]

Galviin is a 19 year old playing his second season...you cannot compare. Whatever big money he will be on will start in 2 years when his time and experience in the NRL will have DOUBLED! ....that's when to compare their relative values

You are wrong and right.

The part about not comparing is wrong. It's a simple comparison of where a guy is right now and what a fair salary is.

You are right in that at that point in time then you can consider the price as well. We aren't at this point yet though and you can't do that comparison now.

At the moment Hughes is a much better player than Galvin. So is Katao. There are heaps of better halves that may be on the market as well albeit they are getting older - DCE and Adam Reynolds are two examples.

I just hope we bargain with our brains and not with emotions.

Lachie shouldn't go anywhere. But Moses will f**k him over.

Yes...but in no universe is Galvin getting the same money as Hughes is " in this moment" that you're comparing them. Investing heavily in a player's trajectory is hi stakes gambling which needs to be left to experienced heads....do we have one of those? If Richo can't guess the right bet to place ( serious injuries notwithstanding ) then I doubt anyone else could either

I think his family will be a big factor in this.

Family plus team doing really well are the 2 factors crucial for us to be able to retain him

I think his family will be a big factor in this.

I concur Tm, the parents are the big fish.
Our CEO had the smarts to meet with the parents in the last lot of negotiations and he'll do it again.
Shane looks like someone who is genuinely concerned for the lad and will put across a great sales pitch, he'll get it done.
My missus always reminds me how good my judgement is (oh Lord it's hard to be humble.......) and if I had an interview with both Richo and Gould regarding my son's future, I'd tell Gould to keep walking. To me he looks like a big guy who always gets what he wants with those shifty eyes.
If Galvin leaves us in 2 years he most likely starts all over again.
If the nucleus of our side stays together then I agree with Tiger05, we could win the title.
You've all heard the saying, when your on a good thing, stick to it.
We'll 2 wins from 3 to start the season with some real promising signs that we will get better means a top 8 beckons.
A team can take a year or two to strike up combos. Galvin has played with a few lads when he came through pathways so he's got a headstart.
Every ½-⅝ needs a good dummy half. Enter DaSilva, a very close friend of Galvin who know each other's game very well.

In 2005 Tim Sheens told a journo that he is building the team for a 2006 assault. They gelled so well that Christmas came early.
If we keep our present side together we could win a premiership within 2-3 years.
If he goes and his new team fails or are rebuilding, he may miss out on a ring altogether.
It makes more sense to stay with a team at the end of a rebuild to win a ring then move on or stay, there will be more and more options available.
If the WT fail, Galvin would still get snapped up in a heartbeat.
½ - ⅝ careers are generally a bit longer, especially good ones, he has time on his side.
Luai knew that if the Tigers fail he'll still be ok financially but he has premiership rings and rep jerseys already. His future is all wrapped up tight.
Luai has Penrith to thank for keeping all his mates and a good coach all under the same roof.
So there you go Lauchy, there's the recipe for success. It only took ½ a page but I eventually got there.

Another factor is how good does Galvin think he is ..At the moment we are winning not because of him..but despite this I’m sure he thinks he’s got it..This can change in a heartbeat.. ask Ben Hunt..one of the toughest guys in the game..

All good ½-⅝ have to think and act that they are better than their opponents. What Thomas Walter Raudonikis lacked in raw talent he made up for it in his cockyness, arrogance, determination and talking it up. He acted like he was the best.
Over that summer torture camp, Benji tried to get Galvin to come out out his shell, to find his voice.
Atm, this is what he needs to do, start yapping. Direct play, tell forwards where to run decoys and watch what's happening with the opposition's D. It can change in a heartbeat. It can fold in or drop off, and a good half can spot his.
