Rumours and Stuff

[lucablight]

2 x $1M plus halves is going to throw an anchor around the rest of your recruitment (as it would with us)

Storm and Broncos seem to be doing fine. Plus our hooker and fullback are relatively cheap.

Yeh storm have 1.9 million in their halves and 1 million on their hooker alone, smith will never be on 700k+.

I think we should give Galvin 1 million

I think it would be safe to assume that Gould and the Dogs will be making a huge play for Galvin.

 

[eels_fan]

I think the realistic options (clubs who will make an offer and dont refuse to speak with his manager) for Galvin will be

Eels
Bulldogs
Manly (if Canberra re-sign Fog)
Canberra (if they lose Fog)
Titans
Dolphins
Dragons

Hoops in his article states (or more likely Isaac Moses wants him to say) that the reason is based on coaching.

I wouldnt imagine Ryles has put down a resume impressive enough to say "I'm better than Benji" just yet.

So if the coaching line actually has any credence, you can basically rule us out. Rule Dolphins out.

Dragons and Titans have premiership winning coaches, but neither are showing that that will be repeated anytime soon.

I'd personally have a market of

Dogs $3.20
Eels $6

Our total spine would still be on the cheaper side if he came.

The Storms entire model for the last 20+ years has been having an elite spine and surrounding them with bargain players who can do a job.

Meanwhile The Mole is feeling lonely. So he is manufacturing headlines/stories for attention.

Also reckons the Raiders are serious premiership threats because they scored 50 against us in Darwin.

By that logic there may be a lot of serious premiership threats by the end of the season

A monkey doesn’t jump from a tree unless he has branch to land on

He’s also on record as saying that he thinks his next club will give him over a million dollars and they shouldn’t because it’s too much money and pressure at his age. It’ll make him look like a hypocrite if he ends up doing what he preached against.

Read this in Gus' voice.

"Well, as we all know, a weeks a long time in Rugby League."

 

[emjaycee]

No on if he is who our other choice with.

Gus has been hyping this kid on every medium for six months - think he is a bulldog.

If he ends up at the Dogs, NRL management would be about as competent as ours.
If he ends up there on “unders”, I may give away the sport until Gus carks it.
I’ve said it innumerable times, Gus having multiple NRL endorsed platforms to spruik his agenda while he has direct relationship with a club is at best incompetence from NRL, at worst wilful negligence to clear competition tampering.

Surely Manly put Jake Arthur at 7???

It’s Melbourne then daylight unless they succumb to injuries. That being said I think Canberra has been fairly impressive, particularly at home against Brisbane and their comeback against the Sharks. There also one of the few teams to have beaten Melbourne in finals at AAMI Park. Could be a Smokey for the Granny in my opinion.

Tigers fans aren’t taking the news well

If "beauty" is some sort of qualification to be a Wests Tiger, no wonder they've won 3 spoons in a row. Although I do struggle to find any non-uglies in their roster.

p.s. The lady in the Coach's box shows promise.

I think he will be a Dog, no brainer

Can you explain how this is incompetent? How does his media gigs give him any advantage when signing players. I don't understand.
