Rumours and Stuff

I have no other language other that English to tell you , yet again, that my knowledge that Parra approached team Galvin after Brown leaving with a deal that prompted Moses to set fire to Lachlans career, came from Isaac Moses through one of the greatest human beings I have ever met and as confirmed in writing in the dossier presented to Richardson and as reported in the media. Confirmed by multiple public sources

It was proven to be true until Brown left Parra.


Mate the things I was told, were verified by multiple sources, some of which are public. You on the other hand are posting based on emotion.

What I have said is 100% accurate, as painful as it is for Parra fans. He was 100% going to Parra and set fire to the hive for Parra. FWIW I think if he isnt at the Tigers Parra is the best fit for him, but Parra have simply been played by better operators and I am ECSTATIC that Parra's f**kery was not rewarded.

Long term reader here, mate I love you posting here, but tonight you've gone off the rails hard here, I wonder if someone else hasn't picked up your phone because this is so not you, you are insightful and funny and good value, but this carry on is new and not like you. Mate at the end of the day the big dicks always win and you guys and us are always left disappointed, if you want to suck Gus's dick for watching the shit show unfold knowing that he wanted Galvin bad then swooping in and grabbing his man once the dirty work was done, then you are cheering on the wrong party here, you got fcked, we got fcked and the big dicks they just keep winning.

Genuinely appreciate your post. For quite a few weeks now, Ive known what was going on here and a week or so when it became clear that Bulldogs were going to go hard at Galvin, I have been excited at the prospect that Dogs would get Galvin and Parra's f**kery would be not rewarded. I concede that my excitement that it came to pass today has probably overcome my good judgement. I genuinely appreciate your post without personal attacks and I concede you are probably right.

Hmmmm let’s review the facts. Tigers offered the kid $1.2 million dollars a year and he knocked them back. Then threatens to take the the club to agitate a release.

Parra offered the kid the same amount as money as the dogs and he went to the team coming first. Good on him. We refused to get into a bidding war by all accounts and based on what I’ve seen even 750k might be overs although it could also be under a. He is obviously a talented kid but he has only played less than 50 games and was offered that money on potential.

Luke brooks was tagged as the next Andrew John’s and we all saw how that ended up. Some kids just don’t kick on.

Everyone went into meltdown mode when Blaize left but look at him now. In a struggling Penrith side and we got Iongi who showed more this year than Blaize showed last year.

Really wasn't that fussed on Galvin, he isnt a half, too slow to be a good running 5/8 to compliment Moses, seems to have a massive corrosive ego. Hopefully we get to keep Lorenzo Talataina who is a far more exciting prospect.
I think Gus has made a mistake and Galvin is going to be a wedge and disruptive influence. Time will tell.

If you are trying to say that Russell is normally a ball playing centre and looks to promote his wingers all the time, I don’t agree with you. I hope in our rebuild we can do way better than Sean, as a winger or a centre. Happy for him to hang aroung as a backup, provided he is not blocking pathways.

You lack basic comprehension skills if you think that is what I'm saying. Provide instances where the opportunity for Russell to pass the ball likely would have resulted in JAC beating Saab on the outside rather than being a contest or just the emotional "he should have passed" you get at the time of watching the game.

What the Galvin snub goes to show is that when key players come off contract, we will have zero chance with the buffoons in charge.

We pretty much have to rely on our juniors and picking up fringes that could possibly become great. But then again, these idiots can’t keep juniors.

we need to support Ryles with a Gus. Not Jim’s Mowing and Trolley boy MON.

can you imagine MON trying to get a Tino or Haas? They’d go to another team for less just like Galvin did.

they have turned us into the Tigers

Lomax was hot property when we signed him, as was Moses when he signed his most recent extension.

he wasn’t even off contract….

in fact most of our off season signings were players that already had deals at other clubs, there wasn’t exactly a great deal of work needed to get them when you have a willing party to to push them our way…

So the Gus media cheer squad are saying that he rulled him out because..

However, according to Code Sports, the fact Canterbury could recruit Galvin immediately piqued the Bulldogs’ interest, with Galvin previously only being available in 2027.

Is this a Gould plan or Ciraldo? Sounds like Gould, just buy a good player and fit him into the team somehow. Not sure where he'll fit but don't think halfback is his go atm but maybe over time. Could disrupt their season big time trying to manufacture him into a half in the interim as well as team dissatisfaction with Sexton punted. It's all very exciting.

Btw, think we have 5/8 covered with either Iongi going there and Papalii to fb or Papalii to 5/8, and won't cost us an arm and leg.

If that’s true, how bad was our pitch to a young player . If we can’t demonstrate what we have in terms of development , facilities etc it’s a dark day for the recruitment team. Hope this is incorrect, but prepared to be disappointed as before.
Report said Galvin approached Dogs. Maybe Gus sold him an idea or just wants to win a premiership before he's 40 (if came to us). Doubt any vision from us would have helped.

I actually wish Galvin all the worst now. He’s a f**king idiot for going there. I hope their season goes down the toilet now and they blame Gould and Galvin.
Gould is teflon coated, no shit sticks to him. Oh wait...didn't Penrith punt him and then started winning premierships?

LOL....just when I thought today couldnt get any better.

Parra started the day expecting to announce that they have stolen the best Tigers junior since Tedesco and they end up announcing the signing of a big fat guy who got sacked from the Tigers because he couldnt arrive at training....

Its not Christmas is it?


He is also suing the club using a former sponsor.

Plus was he really on 300k a season?
