he was worth what we paid him ($275). No matter what he does at Bulldogs in the future, Tigers will always have receives the best value out of him.

Its hilarious that Parra didnt sign Galvin, after everything they did.......hilarious and delicious!!
According to you we dodged a bullet even if it was Mr Magooing it. I see the hilarity too.
How about you guys develop your own...

Not us you should be worried about. For better or worse we appear on the Iongi train, while the team who just signed one from the same agent’s stable as Bula, appear less keen on their current fullback. I’m sure it’s fine and you have nothing to worry about.

Round 22 @Tiger5150 Galvin vs Luia!

I still can't get over the fact Galvin whinged about being bullied and then signs for a team full of the bullies former team mates.
Hopefully by round 22 we have Latu in full flight. Galvin, his Dad and manager are full of it. The guys at the Tigers were trying to make it all work. Im not sure Kikau & Critta will warm to him so quickly.

Im looking forward to round 14 just as much.

On a serious note, Bula is about the most upstanding good bloke you will ever meet in RL. He signed with Moses because his agent stopped being an accredited agent and needed one and was good mates with Galvin. I am less concerned about the influence that Moses will be able to have on Bula.

I'd think about offering old man Cody Walker a 2-year contract. He is off contract end of 26 but Souths may release him early. He will be aged 36 in 26 and if I am correct aged 37 in 27.

How good would it be to be at the dogs in round 22 and then go on to beat them in the finals!

I think we have a rivalry on our hands people!

Mate, six months ago you were saying what a fine upstanding young man Galvin is, and how he’d do right by the Tigers.

Why do you continue to set yourself up for disappointment?

Nothing to worry about then

Regardless of who we play at 6 I think they’ll have a pretty simple role. Make their tackles, secondary kicker, strong running game.
Sandon smith is average, no point signing him. Not sure we have the replacement within the club at the moment but a lot can happen over the next 6 or so months. Look where Riley was this time last year. By next season our 1 and 9 will have a full season under their belts.
Every player Ryles has debuted this year has done ok and improved each week. Happy to back his judgement with whoever gets the spot

Lachlan Galvin is 19yo. Did I mention his Dad or manager?
I recall us having a disagreement here at the end of last year about how many times Galvin had asked for a release (you were adamant it only ever happened once, which was objectively wrong, but whatever). But you were saying what a good young man he is and how he had straightened his shit out because Richo and his dad were on the same page.

So yes, you gave his dad a wrap from memory.

Yes, it’s a shame that we didn’t get to see that contest.

Watch the game again. Before the Samrani try Russell shaped to pass to JAC as there was an opportunity but Fox had cut underneath, just like he did later in the game when Russell passed and he dropped it. It was very much the plan not to take Saab on the outside, not just the speed of Saab you also don't want to be flirting with the sideline when it's a slippery night. We stayed away from the right sideline too.
