That's exactly what needs to happen. Do not help him advance his career any way, the ungrateful merkin. And if we lose bula too, so be it. There is time to plan for that
I think the dogs, if they keep going the way they are going atm.
Agree, I was backing him until I read the article, it doesn't sound like Gal tbh, but it looks like he's made his bed.
Where would the dogs put him, Burton is a better player right now, Jacob Preston is killing it so there a no lock spot up for grabs
And Seibold?
I agree with the sentiment, but we still should putting our best team on the park, at least until Latu is back. We do have a good opportunity to jump up the ladder over the next 4-5 games.
Seibold managed by Moses, so Moses says to Manly - I can get you Galvin, but please extend the coach's contract, give him more money etc. It's happened before where this guy basically ends up controlling a club because he manages key players and coaching staff.
Listen mate, I've just spent 20 minutes on the bench grinder sharpening the tines of my bestest pitchfork.
Could it be "someone" you know?
Please make that come true Vic. That would place all the pressure of running the team on Brooks' shoulders. A role we all know (including himself) he can't perform. And then watch the little snot develop under that. All while Turbo is injured for 2/3rds of the season.
Gould is saying how much he loves the kid and apparently has just made up with his manager.
I couldn’t have put it better myselfI wish you blokes could have heard me swearing at LG most of the game on Sunday. Because then what I'm about to say might sound a little less like being a sore loser.
I DGAF what he "might" become. What sort of player he "could" be. How big his potential is.
Right here, right now . . . sure, he's fit. Sure, he loves being involved in everything.
BUT . . . how many times has he fkkd up clear opportunities like 2 man overlaps, or echoed Luke Brooks and put a grubber into the back fence ( followed immediately by another one). Crabbed across field worse than Noffa ever did ?
Hogged the ball to murder a chance down the right ? I could go on, but I hope you boys get it.
We casually overlooked all these negative traits in his play because we might have fallen under the spell of every arsehole commentator telling us he's the next BIG thing.
While it's real hard to not sound childish when we criticise him after he told us to GFO . . . grab a beer and watch replays of all our games this year. And watch him with a totally unbiased eye. No favouritism, no hatred.
Then watch Latu's few games for us with the same scrutiny.
Then, grab another beer and know that while the media flogs itself over this kid, we will finally have someone to bargain with, that is desperately wanted by another club, that we can trade for a great forward, or tall speedy back. And that we have someone that's very close to a like for like replacement.
Then, grab another beer and relax.
Seibold is on the nose at Manly too, my friend. But who knows.
His parents wouldn't even talk to Richo apparently which was why Richo went to the board.
I’m even more convinced now he won’t be picked tomorrow
No faith in Benji Marshall’s coaching: The reason Galvin walked away from Tigers
The Galvin camp told Wests Tigers powerbrokers the teenager didn’t believe he could become the player he wanted to be under Marshall’s coaching.www.smh.com.au
"The simple truth is Galvin has no faith in his coach’s ability. In discussions with the club over the past week, the boom five-eighth’s camp told Wests Tigers powerbrokers Galvin didn’t believe he would develop to become the player he wanted to be under Marshall’s coaching.
Galvin’s representatives didn’t even want the Tigers to table an offer, such was their desire to look elsewhere from November 1.
Sources with knowledge of the situation, talking on the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of discussions, told the Herald that Galvin believed there was a ceiling on how far he could develop at the club, especially given Marshall’s tendency to appoint former Tigers teammates as assistant coaches."
If this is the case then that should be the end of it.
No more coaching from Benji.
"There is a view internally that Galvin is wary of Marshall’s close relationship with new recruit Jarome Luai.
While Galvin and Luai are civil, they don’t share a close bond and Galvin is understood to have been frustrated by the impact of being asked to play second fiddle to the four-time premiership-winning playmaker.
Luai also has a high opinion of back-up five-eighth Latu Fainu, who is currently unavailable after undergoing surgery on his thumb last week."
If the above is true than we should have seen the last of Galvin and Luai playing together.
Galvin must be worth about $2m a year given he knows better than Benji or Luai.
