Rumours and Stuff

No, it doesn't.

Sounds more like a post written in 2024.

Just out of curiosity, exactly how many conversations amongst the Gadigal from 200 years ago were you privy to?

Keep covering yourself in Champagne socialist woke glory every chance you get.

Hey, mate. Just curious; why do you keep laying into people on here?

To be fair, we still don’t know if Ryles is better or not.

No. But so far he's a lot more exciting than Arthur ever was.

Until Galvin demands an upgrade.
A few good games does not a career make.

Tigers have offered him a massive upgrade, just needs to extend

 

[Tiger5150]

All those you signed were for overs and all those you let go with current contracts you are still paying for or is Buds deal he can come back.....

If by "all" you mean 2 of the 8, I guess maybe....

If Galvin signes in the next 12 months he is an idiot kid could be an amazing player at the right club...

If he doesnt he leaves $1M on the table. Lets see how big an idiot he is.

 

[Tiger5150]

Paying Sullivan $700k is f**king mental, is that genuinely what he was on?

no not yet, but in his last two years he would be....

Hope they like black and white.

Galvin is unlikely to ever play in Black and white.

When he’s entitled to go back to the Tigers? Imagine you’ll be crossing all extremities that he works out under Bennett.

 

[Tiger5150]

Seriously if he was on that much he needs give his manager a reach around..

meh....its probably $100-150K too much. At the time we had Wakeham and Will Smith our first choice halves. How many first grade halves are on less than $600K, I can think of only one.

1 million?

I doubt the Tigers have 500k spare in 2025 especially when contracts for that year started in November.

meh....if he does, its probably $200K too much. If this move enables us to extend Galvin, Ill be very happy to over pay our reserve grade halfback. if he goes well under Bennett, you reckon he is coming here to play reggies?

That's the issue you don't just throw cash at players as their isn't a better option available at the time ..

That's how you end up last

Well by all the scoffing at the Tigers here over Batman and Sullivan, how much you reckon we have freed up?

If he goes well, he won’t go back. If he doesn’t, why wouldn’t he go back for $700k a year?

Mate, I can tell you from peer reviewed research proven by empirical data and experience, that the way you come last is having Will Smith and Brandon Wakeham as your halves. Sullivan is better than Wakeham, Smith and Brooks and cost 2/3 Brooks. Probably over paid by $100-150K but you know, beggars, choosers etc.

Saved $400K on Sullivan, unknown of Bateman, saved $500K just on Stef leaving
