Think the Tigers players have gone a bit too far with their posting
Would you classify it as workplace bullying.

I think going out of your way to post a photo of someone's else locker who is 19 years old and mocking him is getting close to the line.

He might be an arrogant upstart so there getting there payback i suppose.

I don't have a problem with Luai or a few others saying a cryptic message like team first and whatever they have done.

But that Turuva one stinks like shit if you ask me. That one wasn't called for.

Anyone find it interesting Turuva has f**ked off from Penrith to the tigers for money is now gone out of his way to post a video of Galvin's locker with the show me the money song in the background
Yeh can see why he doesn’t want to sign an extension with them.

Now conspiracy theory wise , galvin could make this messy and claim workplace bullying and discrimination , players got him demoted (and club complied to senior players request ) and then making fun of him publically.

after these two posts I don’t see him seeing out the season with them.

any other workplace that would become a legal matter that post by turuva and given club sacked him to koe on the basis of the players , he could claim club at fault

I'm not sure what legal ramifications would exist. They are only liable if the use of that influence in another sphere is either illegal, in breach of contract or otherwise a breach of directors duties to act the best in interests of the club. Unless this leads to some penalty for the club it's not a big issue for their board. And even if there's a chance that it will they might decide that in an expected value sense it is worth letting Gould do what he wants.
The conflict of interest here is not between Gould and the Dogs board. There might be one b/w Gould and the media organisations he works for.

That certainly seems true on the last.

I didn't mean to infer a conflict between Gould and the board, but rather they would face the ramifications of any action that might arise.
Eg, if someone (eg Wests Tigers) were able to put some kind of case that proper process has been subverted by positional influence. There might exist a world where they could mount a decent case.
One would think there might exist at least a small amount of risk.

We just need a journo to run a story about how shady it would look if Galvin (or any player) joined the Dogs due to Gould's influence - that would at the least make risk a talking point.

I imagine then the media side might look and wonder if he is buttering his club bread on their time.

That’s f**king low from Turuva. Hope he feels like a hero.

I 100% back the Tigers playing group asking him to be stood down, I completely understand that. But making it personal on social media about a 19 year old teammate, that’s a shit go.

Pretty grubby how it has all happened, but could be a good outcome for Parra.
Tbh…. Is it though? He could’ve sat on that deal he was offered until November or at least told the Tigers I’m not negotiating until the end of the season, let’s take it from there.

While it’s a shit sandwich for Tigers fans to swallow, the club at least is aware exactly how to plan moving forward from April rather than November.

He has played one game in reserve grade, and the coach chose to play him at fullback, moving the existing fullback (Papalii) into the halves. I don’t think Apa @Twizzle is rated that highly by the club, at least not as a halves option.
He's obviously not near ready for NRL yet. While picked at #1 he seemed to be operating in the line in attack (at least at times). One the bases of a short one-shot case study, he looks a natural footballer to me. I'd like to see him after a year in Reggies.

I reckon Galvin is a little bitch....

He's gonna be high maintenance
Surely you guys have room for more than one?

Roosters and Dogs have to be the favs. Why would a kind like Galvin sign for a club as poorly run as ours? What could we offer him apart from money at the moment ? I know he’s a Parra fan but if he was smart he would not come as much as I’d like it to happen .
