Rumours and Stuff

Is it about the money as Tiger 5150 said only the Tigers could offer him more this year and next..

This all kicked off due to the Tigers trying to rush him into signing and offering him an upgraded contract and another 5 seasons.

If it was all about the money they would have at least negotiated with the Tigers instead of just blowing them off...

I really don’t think the Galvin get out has anything to do about money. I don’t think any club (even ours) would be in the position or dumb enough to offer a deal that was that much better than what the Tigers have on the table.

Putting two and two together I think there is definitely a clique at the tigers and the kid doesn’t feel like he fits in. Why would you want to commit to a place long term where you don’t feel comfortable going into work everyday?

The way his teammates have reacted afterwards pretty much confirms it. The social media stuff has just given Moses ammunition, the Tigers have no legs to stand on now.

As much as I think they will want to keep him there they are going to have no legs to stand on.

He's been asking for a release since before he made first grade, this isn't anything new. He and his team made a snap decision to leave Parra to go to a club that offered him the world and then he's realised the grass isn't green in Concord/Leichhardt/Leumeah/Kirkham/Lidcombe.

What’s with these Tigpies fans coming into another clubs forum and expecting that their comments will be accepted.
Please go and argue etc on the Tigpies forum, with the posters who will praise your views.
It’s made coming onto these threads unenjoyable, as they post here more than most Eels fans do. An occasional post here and there is fine, but it ends up hijacking every conversation. Maybe there should just be a dedicated thread called ‘Tigers Fans Talk to Eels Fans’ and keep those conversations there.

I’m ok with them coming here but to claim they have principles when all they do here is mouth off about our club is Bart levels of shitbaggery

They just upset that despite the biggest news story of the week, Tigers remain the most irrelevant club since the Crushers

Where did I say we would only pay him the money he is on now?
I'm not a big fan of people putting words in my mouth that I never said to suit their purpose.
Fair enough. On what basis do you think that you could squeeze him, Moses and Brown under the cap? How much do you think Parra is paying him to do what he is doing now and for Tigers to let him go?

Prior to Brown signing with Newcastle, Moses was discussing length of Contract with Tigers.

Brown signs with Newcastle and all of a sudden Moses won’t even discuss. Parra have put in a big offer (illegally) that Moses and Galvin like and want (same as M Moses 2017).

that is 2&2

I have no doubt we’ve been speaking to his team behind closed doors. We will have to wait and see what the deal ends up being.

Parra
It’s not really about the money. He’ll end up somewhere else for less than the ridiculous offer the Tigers made to a teenager. The reason’s simple—he just doesn’t want to be there. That’s the bit Tigers fans can’t process. Not when their coach’s most notable achievement is winning Celebrity Apprentice.
Parramatta???
