Galvin to depart Tigers

[bondi.boy]

What a greedy focker. Second year in grade and he is not happy with his junior clubs offer of $1m a season. Who wants a player like that?

Manly?

Think his problem is with Head office and the coach rather than the money...if Buzz and commenters in the paper are to be believed.

if it's about the coach we'd be in the running. from what i've seen he looks pretty good. don't know how good our young guys coming through are but galvin's probably going to have a better career than smith and savala. don't know what's best but if we got him for a good price i wouldn't complain.
surprised the tigers took their offer off the table both for not keeping that door open and for what it might do to their season.

[HDTONE]

He's been offered $1m per season. There's some good prospects in the tigers side.

Agree with others like he's a decent player but $1m serious silly money.

I just hope we're not interested because we've got decent halves and prospects that we need to develop.

Put me in the def no column.

It’s always interesting, because if you lock in a player like Galvin for a long contract at 1 million a season, that might end up being huge value. Look at the Knights with Ponca. They offered him big money when he was basically a rookie, and that ended up being a very smart decision.

But yeah, always risky to pay on potential, and I don’t think we really have any need of him. I’m optimistic that we don’t, anyway.

[Inflictor]

If we offer Galvin $1M+ it will be long term and we will lose Hugo, Elliot, Rodwell and Smith.

A massive risk losing potential quality for a guy who has achieved nothing.

I will be shocked if we sign him.

Why don't we just sign...everyone. Then one day, we can finally rule the world!

Not worth what he thinks he is at the moment, maybe he will be.
He isn’t the first and not the last.
Josh Schuster was meant to be a superstar in the making and was paid big money on that but ended up being sacked with very little NRL minutes.
At Souths now and doesn’t seem too be doing much there either.

Some making Savala out to be the next Freddy Fittler. I hope so but wait till we lose and he doesn’t go so well. Such a fickle bunch we are.

[Mickie Lane]

He wants more than $1M

He's won a spoon.

FFS

He'll get more than a mil per season otherwise he would of taken the mil per season from the Tigers
His manager Moses would already be deep in discussions with a club or clubs who will pay him 1.1 mil per season.

[mattyh]

man what a shame, I'd love to see him stay at the tigers.

he is not worth a million, given the ups and downs I'd rather be at the tigers in 2026 then the eels.

So true. I will say though that I was very impressed with his game last week but he would have debuted earlier than 23 if he was the next Freddy. Time will tell but I’m leaning towards him being a fringe first grader who had a really good game.
Hope I’m wrong.

[Mickie Lane]

Ok so

Jerome Luai has the magic dust. He's won 4 comps at Penrith and now they're farked without him.

Play Hutch alongside Luai and Moses would put a $1 million price tag on Drew.

Moses is the snowman, that sleazy used car salesman that sold you a lemon.

I'd be embarrassed if I were Galvin.

Yes Im sure he will be embarrassed owning a house in Hunters Hill or Drummoyne driving a 120k beemer going out with some glamour. Very embarrassing.

[infidelrooster]

The next Reece Walsh,will be worked out by rival coaches and the price tag will haunt him like Ash Taylor. Stick with Tellys grandson Hugo Savala.

[Carlos Parra]

I wouldn't fork out that kind of money on him just yet. Needs at least 1 more season of at least helping the Tigers to the finals. He also needs to put a bit of beef on that frame before I'd look at him as a genuine prospect.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

This story will play out for a while. He won't be able to sign until Nov 1. It's a long season and the NRL world will have a better idea of his value depending on where the tigpies finish the season.
