I remember Kautogas debut for the tigers

Had 1 run dropped the ball and never played again, actually felt bad for him tbh
I was disappointed we lost him. I actually thought he would kick on and make something of himself. Poor defender and bad hands and many haev had a crack at him.........but none of them were Rylsey!

Canterbury Bulldogs enter race for the signature of Lachlan Galvin​

Despite weeks of denials, Canterbury have formally entered the race – alongside the Eels – to sign young half Lachlan Galvin. LATEST
Michael Carayannis and Brent Read

The Bulldogs’ case is strengthened by the presence of Galvin’s mentor and former high school coach Luke Vella at the club, where he is an assistant coach to Cameron Ciraldo.
The Bulldogs are expected to use Galvin and Matt Burton in the halves which would place the future of Toby Sexton in extreme doubt.
Sexton is off-contract at the end of the season but this move would all but end his time at the club.
The Eels have a ready-made spot for Galvin long-term given Dylan Brown’s impending exit to join Newcastle. That move could be fast-tracked should Galvin opt to join Parramatta.

The Knights have made it clear they would accommodate Brown before June 30 should Parramatta pay a large chunk of his salary for the rest of the season.
Eels coach Jason Ryles has made no secret of his desire to sign Galvin, where he would play alongside Moses. It is understood the Eels half and captain has also been in Galvin’s ear in a bid to convince him to move to Parramatta.
The Tigers also face an uphill battle to keep young hooker Tallyn Da Silva after Da Silva’s agent indicated to the club that he would leave once his deal expires at the end of next season should they re-sign skipper Api Koroisau. Koroisau is off-contract at the end of 2026.

For someone with less idea than all of us when it comes to money, why should I even contemplate such nonsense?
I’m the one who isn’t surprised when players are reported to be on huge salaries that make the rest of you piss your knickers. The salary cap is $12M for only thirty players, and expected to rise. There is constant and massive salary inflation for the most in demand players. Galvin could easily be on $1.5M in five years, especially with TPAs.

anyway watch the dogs implode whether Galvin starts with them this year or next , as few players who will be affected stop falling for the family club bull he spins to them

10 years ago the dogs had a choice between Hodkinson, Mbye and Josh Reynolds. They went with 2 "five-eighths" in Mbye and Reynolds and they've really only recovered once they brought in Sexton, amongst some other players.

Joash for 6 i reckon though not sure about his defense in the line.

Is metcalf signed?
He looked shaky in cup at 6 defensively. I don’t think that’s his role. Not unless you want him to do a year or so in cup to get used to it first.

I reckon Metcalf ends up at Perth

Volkman has been resigned as the emergency fallback 5/8.
Sandon Smith will probably be in our sights if Galvin goes to the Dogs to play 2nd 5/8...
Galvin is a perfect fit for us but makes no sense at the Dogs. Gus doing his sign now and sort out the mess later trick.
