Exactly what Gus said, does anyone believe that bullshite? That's just a way to get around the cap by saying 'Galvin really want to play for us and that's all we can give him'. Can't wait to hear the dollars that have been offered.
Gus - ' Galvin has come out and said his preference is to play at the Bulldog, so we are going to try and accommodate that'

I'm right there with you it's not as though we were coming down the home stretch and it was a 5 horse race here.
The fact he chose a club that hasn't developed a half since probably Brent Sherwin tells you when Galvin has mentioned he wants to go to a club that he feels he'll be developed is an indictment on us as a club.We've even unveiled probably the best centre of excellence in Australia this week and yet it's still not enough.
How do we attract talent if we haven't got guys who can sell the story or close the deal.I swear last week we were paying a $1.03 almost a sure thing yet here we are now.Even went back to the table with more and it still wasn't enough.We are an absolute cluster fark in recruitment and retention area.
Even worse NoS if this goes sideways on JR who do you think takes the hit.I'll be dead set surprised if anyone in our R & R space or ceo space get punted shocked.Where's our chairman in all this,watching the titanic sink is he.
Exactly.
Why was none of that enough? Was it the Eels falling short or was he always headed to the Dogs?
And the problem is, the truth doesn't really matter when it's this public. The fact the Eels couldn't convince a player they wanted & needed regardless of $$ looks really bad. Those optics matter.
Hopefully we end up wrong on this one.
💯
I'd like to think we were in with a chance but it's hard to give the club leeway on this when you've watched these guys work the last 12 months.
I too hope we are wrong around Galvin too and he doesn't become the player he's touted as.I love DB but heaven forbid if he becomes anything at Newcastle also and like you mention the tides turn in our direction in up coming in-house talent as us fans don't deserve this shite.
I think the development aspect is all rubbish. He wants to win premierships, simple as that. Plus the slightest element of development he trusts Luke Vella who coached him at Westfields Sports High.
I know that I can be somewhat of a conspiracy theorist I realise this is out there with the best of them and I'm hoping someone can clarify this theory Could Gould have approached Galvin last year in the trade window Made the deal knowing what a shit storm it would become at Balmain with one of their contracted players but told everyone involved to keep quiet Remember he was the first to come out in support of Galvin when the shit hit the fan and he was very outspoken about not being interested
Classic conspiracy theory!!!
Galvin is a dog who belongs to the dogs. F him Gould and those dirty fuckers who are lucky enough to play the storm only once this season.
They only beat us by a little last time we played . Parra to beat them an next time
who knows maybe tittie tickler might have a change of heart
Iam glad we missed him. I think we dodged a bullet.
Let the bitch go to the dogs, we don't need the drama.
Joash is the man and Hawkins has something special about him. We have heaps of options to play next to Moses.
