If we miss out on Galvin I’m happy to ban myself from the forum.

Is MON already on the shit list?

For how long?
The place isn't the same without you.

 

[Legal Eel]

given permission STILL right?

No way he didn't have permission already.

 

[JokerEel]

He’s talking about them signing Galvin instead of us. Which isn’t going to happen. He might not end up in B and G but he sure isn’t going to the Roosters.

Wait they are about to sign DCE for 2 seasons have Walker as well. Not sure Galvin fits their needs

 

[King-Gutho94]

I genuinely appreciate your help.

But I did get where he was going - I just agree that isn't going to happen.

Bula on the other hand....

Issac Moses manages Bula now

Gee that's going to be a fun negotiation with Richo in the next 12-18 months.

You reckon Issac hasn't forgotten the hitjob the Tigers did a few weeks in the media on him/Galvin.

With Perth and PNG coming in.

Issac and Jahreem can write there own number and make the Tigers pay over and above to stay there.

 

[JokerEel]

I am assuming we will be paying some of his wage next year.

Should go to the Titans they need a replacement for someone

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I lived there for most of the past 13 f**ken years and never got to watch an Eels game. Now they get an NRL team. Such merkins.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Any of you merkins sphincter tightening with Roosters clearing the decks? ......

If they’re clearing the decks it means there’s more players on the market. That benefits clubs with money to spend, like us.

Well he might, and why should that bother us? Galvin didn’t stop the Tigers running last and he won’t make them win the comp this year. If we miss out on him we will have more to spend elsewhere in our roster. We even have talented youngsters we need to retain.

 

[Twizzle]

And I reckon the answer is that if he couldn't consistently play like a $1m player at the Titans, why do we think he would here... I'm willing to bet we don't.

Agree, I think that will be Ryles' thoughts as well

 

[Eelementary]

Here is a juicy rumour

Ryles & Robbo had a falling out after he got punted from the Roosters in 2023

Did anyone watch Ryles press conference last week post the game when he got asked about the Simmonson call.

So around 2 min 10 sec mark

When he was probed to give a reaction he refused to be drawn into talking about referees and made mention that he worked under coaches then changed it to a "Coach" previously that spent time and energy into referee decisions. And he won't be that type of coach.

Now if that's not a sly dig at someone he previously worked for i don't know what is.

Now Eddie Jones, Craig Bellamy & Trent Robinson are the only 3 coaches i am aware Ryles has worked under.

Eddie jones was in the box the other week so i doubt its him & Ryles went back to work under Bellamy so i doubt if there relationship was that bad he would have gone back there.

So it must have been a dig at Robbo.

It would make sense, too - Robbo is Ricky Stuart-like when it comes to whining about refs.

 

[Twizzle]

gee what a shock

 

[Lemon Squash]

The Gold Coast seems like a good fit for Matto... He can get around more often then not without a shirt on and fit right in with all the other wannabe influences.

 

[Eelementary]

If we miss out on Galvin I’m happy to ban myself from the forum.

I hope we do get him, then - he's a gun, but I would hate for the forum to lose such an esteemed contributor.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I lived there for most of the past 13 f**ken years and never got to watch an Eels game. Now they get an NRL team. Such merkins.

Just a case of bad luck and lack of resources at the time.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Perth coming in and the Bears coming back into the NRL is a great day for our great game of Rugby League.

We finally have a national competition and a foundation club like the Bears are back where they belong.

It should be celebrated appropriately across the game with a Parramatta victory tonight.

 

[eel01s]

Matto out - Fafita in??? Only if cost neutral?

 

[hineyrulz]

huh ?
