I just don't like the way Ryles showed his hand saying he's very interested in Galvin when he becomes available. I also don't believe a word Grub Gould says. This is starting to stink.

The rebuild needs to start from next year, not 2027 or beyond.
If Galvin hasn't already had a secret handshake with the Eels and Tigers refuse to release him before 2027, I would prefer the club focus on getting Sandon Smith and use that extra cash savings towards getting decent forwards.
As good as Galvin may 'potentially' be, behind a shithouse forward pack, he won't be the saviour this club is desperate for. Look at Ponga and the Knights. I'd much prefer a balanced team than a team of a couple overpaid stars that can't deliver, much like Moses and Brown who can't even win us a game.
If there is no Deal with Galvin we should at minimum be putting out rumours we are interested in Sandon to take away some leveage I.Moses has over us.
Sandon is a really skillfull player so I wouldnt be dissapointed if we signed him instead.

Exactly if the club Is Galvin or bust then you know where the issue has always been.
Realistically Parra should have multiple options on the table to replace DB multiple a long term short and intermediate options.Not just a all eggs recruitment strategy.
I feel Centre is least of our worries, the club will look to Samrani and R.Penisini if we need Centres. Forwards absolutely. Stevie Wonder can see that.
Would have been better off just keeping DB I mean though the rumours are out there the dogs are biting I have to think Galvin is still in play for Parra surely.
"I agree and never have I ever suggested that we were close to a Premiership after BA. I do have an issue with how the BA situation was handled. Through a lack of decisiveness (or Board experience) we threw away 2024 completely. Wasted an entire…"
"Your last paragraph sums it up well for me.
Regarding forwards, specfically middles, I am pretty set on us not signing many, especially "big boppers".
I'd replace Paulo with another elite prop for 2027, a few off contract then. but even then maybe…"
"I have no problems with the rise of the Ryles era.
Its hard to judge how smart anyone is without knowing them and getting inside their head.

Gus was pretty stern a few weeks ago they wouldn't get into the Galvin thing. Not much of a story to me. Him and Burton would never work anyway

Moses can win us a game, maybe not as consistently but he can win us a game.
Then we go for there young half that they've been raving about just to shut them on a third of the money.
Then we invest in forwards and centres.

GET LUAI
simple where there is smoke there is fire
he too wants out of tiger town
the Tigers are best to merge with the bulldogs 1 say so Gus can get the players he wants & punt the rest
