ALMOST AN EEL
So close was Galvin to signing with Parramatta, it’s understood that the Eels had a verbal agreement with his management team on Friday, May 23, that the rising star would link with the blue and golds.
Within 48 hours, Galvin had informed the Bulldogs he was headed to Belmore.
“I was back and forth with the Doggies and Eels,’’ Galvin said.
“I had a pretty big meeting with me, my family, (managers) Adam (Brahme) and Isaac (Moses) and we just went through the positives and negatives and put them all together.
“I wrote a lot of stuff down.
“I think if you write it down and look at it from both angles, both positives and negatives on the piece of paper — and I’m not saying there were more negatives at Parra, but I just came up with my final decision and it was the Dogs.
“Having mum and dad listen to what I thought was the best decision for me, I had their support and they were going to back me on whatever decision I made.’’
