You are Gus' minion. He told you Galvin was going to Parra when he wasn't, and you've spread it everywhere. Now you look like a goose and you're pretending you knew all along. You can't have it both ways.
Im not at the level of minion, never met or spoken to Gus.

It was all Parra until less than a week ago.

it started then

Could argue he was never really coming to Parra

Everything out there was just a decoy (Galvin meeting with parra etc...) so as to deflect possible illegal approach by the Dogs way back

Then you have "Dogs have entered the race..." after parra was in the box seat....is just made up, they started the race last year and Galvin was always going there. Just my thoughts of course...

I’ve also had a great day. The club I support didn’t sign a guy I wasn’t keen on, and I got to show you up again when you tried to rewrite history.
Mate, when you definition of a "great day" is pretending you "showed up" some random bloke on a forum, you need to serious re-establish your life and at a minimum touch grass,


Remind me again how you "showed me up"

If your definition of a great day is that another football team didn’t sign the guy you’ve now convinced yourself is shit and who is a liability you never wanted anyway, then you might want to have a look at yourself too.

And I showed you up by showing how f**king wrong you’ve been about everything you said about Galvin six months ago. As I said at the time would happen, and you laughed at me.

I’m not particularly fussed on missing him, he’s had one strong season so far and if there’s one thing we should know it’s that one good rookie year for a half sadly doesn’t translate to long term success. It is embarrassing for our recruitment though to blow what seemed to be an open layup.
It was only an 'open layup' when it seemed no other club wanted him. But Gould always wanted him, and Isaac Moses knew it. If Galvin ever wanted to come to Parra he would be coming. Interest from other clubs wouldn't change anything.

You are good at research as you tell me. Find a post where I said Galvin was shit?

And I showed you up by showing how f**king wrong you’ve been about everything you said about Galvin six months ago. As I said at the time would happen, and you laughed at me.
I was 100% right about everything I said about him 6 months ago and you havent shown anything otherwise. If you find a post that was wrong, post it here....go and start searching.

If i laughed at you 6 months ago, its probably for the same reason Im laughing at you now.

Buzz: Why Lachlan Galvin’s likely move to Bulldogs has potential to create unrest among players

Especially while their general manager of football Phil Gould has been so misleading and so all over the shop with his roster planning and comments that fans can’t understand, let alone the players.
He tells the world: “We’re not thinking about Lachlan Galvin. We’re not going to get into a discussion about Lachlan Galvin. He’s not on our radar. We’ve got a different program going at the moment.”
Now he’s done a total backflip that could have a huge effect on the rest of the squad.

Already we’re hearing fullback Connor Tracey will have to make way for Galvin. Matt Burton will move to Tracey’s fullback spot to accommodate Galvin at five-eighth.
We know that halfback Toby Sexton still has no offer for next year.

Then you’ve got Bailey Hayward, Josh Curran, Reed Mahoney, Sam Hughes and Viliame Kikau, who are free to negotiate with rival clubs from November.
Where does the money now come from for the obvious upgrade that Hayward and others are entitled to?

Does it mean they’ll have to move on Mahoney? Is his job in doubt like Tracey and Sexton?
These are guys who have taken the Bulldogs to the top of the ladder.
The values of most Bulldogs players have significantly increased over the last two seasons, especially this year on the back of nine wins from 11 games to be leading the competition.
Players on $350,000 to $400,000 like a Jacob Preston or a Max King are now worth much more.

King is now an Origin front-rower and Preston would have been in the Blues’ 17, but for his suspension.
Gus has been telling us for a couple of years that the Bulldogs future is all about “building from within.”
The club has spent a fortune on their junior league pathways to build an impressive pool of talent.
Then they go out and buy Thompson and Galvin. Work that out.

Penrith great Greg Alexander said on Fox League: “It’s no surprise to see him (Galvin) go to the Dogs.

“But I always thought it would be a better fit at Parramatta playing outside Mitch Moses. The Eels need a five-eighth and Dylan Brown’s gone. But that’s not how it’s going to be.”

Braith Anasta said: “I hear Reed Mahoney is a chance of being moved on. That’s not from any good source but I’ve heard that over the past 12 months,” Anasta said.

Tigers legend on Galvin: ‘See ya later’

Balmain Tigers legend Roach, who urged Galvin to show “loyalty” to the Tigers earlier this year, said it was time for the two parties to go their separate ways.

“You’ve got to want to play for your club,” Roach told news.com.au.

“I’m old school. If you don’t want to be there, see ya later. Good luck to him.

“I think he does some good things and he’s got potential but I don’t think he’s the type of player they’re saying he is. He’s not a Fittler or a Daley yet. Maybe it’s a little bit of overhype.

“He’s got ability, he’s going to be good. But maybe they’ve pumped him up a bit too much too early.
