Making new friends where ever he goes hahaha

More rubbish media. Just goes to show you though, certain people will make you promises and piss in your pocket until they think you’re no good to them anymore and then…..

It’s a tough business NRL

That’s life, Pezz. Work, relationships, friends can be exactly the same.

Though I don't think a lot of players will be crying for Mahoney, the little grub.

He'll bounce back. Surely the Cowboys are looking a replacement for Robson next year.

Why did Stephen Crichton and other players hold a private meeting with Lachlan Galvin to ask why he left the Tigers.
It's my understanding that LG basically has a gag order on this.
Could the dogs and LG and Moses get burnt from this? I hope so!

I rest my case!

Some guys look good under anything....but sadly not him

The irony is that the Bulldogs brought out the grubbiness in him - he wasn't that bad at Parramatta.

Either that or the truth will come out as to why our club shat its pants and released him as soon as he accused them of something.
Smoke and fire go together.

Yeh could be Troy. It was bullying and coaching issues. Bullying is not one off stuff, it's repetitive.
The fact that there was evidence of it in social media could have been proof enough to support other complaints.
I still think it was a clever unscrupulous manager who worked his craft.
As far as Benji's coaching ability goes, one could argue that LG had a point. I think the current team and coaching style had LG running too laterally as his half was doing similar.
I'm not making excuses for him because a great player can talk it up and fix things on the field, when problems arise.
He should never been offered so much money because he has not enough NRL or rep experience.
The tigers did well to gag it as it would have prevented us moving fwd.
For example, KPP wouldn't have signed, and I'm sure we are looking at or trying to wrangle other top players to join us.

I think Richo knows a bit about footballers, imo, he was being signed on his future potential, or trying to put his value out of reach, (which didn't really matter in the end) but he may well be proven to be correct in that the kid will be very successful, but the whole ordeal was a shit show and I'm not unhappy with how it's turned out.

I don't think there was much merit in it but I think Richo was probably worried about the corporate's view about it, they are the ones that put big money into the club.
I would hazard a guess, that the lawyers advised him there may have been something in it, and he (or the board) didn't want the club dragged through the mud.
In the end, I think we've come out of it, in a better position.

On a lighter note, even Volk thinks he has a shit haircut

Me too Tm.
In the end, everyone's closet gets opened so if not now, maybe in the future he might have cost us more. Like leaving or disrupting our finals run.
I think if we have any chance of getting our act together right now, it won't involve him thank god. Good riddens.

Well we havent really have we?
We had a potential generational player come through the pathways and he hated the club so much, that he didnt even entertain the thought of even reading our way over the top and generous offer. He has tried to get out of here since before he was well known. He managed to compile a dossier of poor things that the club does training wise that in his opinion, was stunting his development. There allegations of bullying and favouritism amongst the playing group.
On top of this, the club ignored the many red flags the kid was throwing up and likely even communicating, instead preferring to continue rewarding him with first grade games when he didnt deserve them in a futile attempt at bribery. Some people are claiming that Richo made this manouvre to expose him....Bullshit he did. By his own admission on the James Graham Podcast, he and his team had worked on the offer for weeks. They were blindsided.
So what this has exposed is that our training is not up to scratch, the coaching isnt good enough, the administration arent much better at recruitment and retention than the previous clowns and we continue to lose young up and coming guns, meaning we have to buy externally at rates higher than they really are worth.
This year we have lost the Large brothers and Galvin and soon TDS will be under the microscope...and dont forget Bula is a Moses stablemate and may be another fight....and Pole has shown interest in returning to Melbourne...and Makasini is attracting a lot of interest from clubs in both RL and RU....and on it goes. We need to keep all these blokes plus the Fainu's, Lauli'i's and May's if we are to build a squad that can one day return to consistent finals footy.
We havent won a game since Magic Round...if we win our next game, it would be the first in 7 weeks. On that topic, our next 4 opponents are contenders for the 8 and all present very very tough games. The two after them are struggling and will certainly have our game pencilled in for must win, before we cop the Doggies.
Galvin has not been playing good footy for us this year, but he can play and we certainly could have used his services.

We are not the only club that faces these battles.
The salary cap doesn't allow you to keep them all, that's just a fact of the system.
There aren't too many players we've lost that have come good.
I think the coaching could be better, including bench selection, not sure about the fitness, imo, we are not losing games because of fitness, though the Storm did blow us off the park.
There are quite a few players here because of Benji. KPP has said this as well.
Pole has just resigned for another 3 years.
Bula has said he wants to remain here (his wife is playing here as well now), as has TDS, though TDS is a concern but we can cover his position.
As for Galvin, he obviously didn't want to be here (we offered him the keys to the club and he said no), if it didn't happen now, it would have happened in November, Latu is a 7 and Luai is a 6, so yes, I think we have ended up alright out of it and we now have time to reset for next year and still be able to look for players, though this season isn't over yet, as we still need to sign a few by the end of this month (I think it is).
I'm confident Galvin's money will be put to good use.
The rumour is they are look at Reynolds, I'm not a big fan of this, but f it wins us games, then I'm good.

 

[WA Tiger]

Just off track a bit .. I’m wondering how Benji didn’t get fined for his ref comments..they were a sign he’s starting to really feel the heat.. the NRL must have a sympathy get out clauses for the wt when it comes to a fine there
Interesting to note Benji wants to resign Api, Richo wants TDS looking to the future neither are budging.

The only other thing I didn't mention was our lack of depth, our best 17 is competitive with any team, imo, but injuries do give us a problem.
Being a reserve grader for the 3 times spooners is not a good look for any player.

Imo it’s a no brainer re TDS.He has to be the priority not Api albeit I’d prefer to keep both.I hope my normally very reliable source is wrong when I was told a mth ago TDS is going to the repugnant dogs
