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.

Obviously Galvin would be incredible as I think he'll become the best player in the game at one point. But if we don't get him, I think a mid level 5/8 like smith who can play eyes up footy is fine. Moses does 90% of the work anyway
Would you overpay for Smith though this is the issue when your running last.4-500 k player quickly becomes 6-700 k player.Galvin you can bet if he's coming here will be starting on 7 figures.
He's bulldogs bound. He's old Westfield's sports mentor is on the coaching staff at the dogs. Dogs have a good roster we are dead last with no signings made for 2026 yet. The only thing we are doing is pissing off players with none coming in as yet. Also gus does the negotiating and we have the frank ponissi of the west in mark O'Neil. Canterbury are a well run professional club thst can offer way more to Galvin then what parra can.Apart from the money what else can parra offer to entice Galvin?
The only other thing that we can offer, other than money, is he grew up loving the club as the family still does. But as i said before, what in any articles, when DCE is available also, does it link Galvin as a certainty to Canterbury? Nothing, it is purely just hey Dogs are saying they are working behind the scenes. Hey Galvin is available, it is more likely that.
Also, about us not making signings. It is true and let's hope we have made signings or have that plan in place or are in big trouble. But if we have made signings we are not announcing them anytime soon and do not need to.
Fair enough Lb. You make some good points. I'm not fussed about signings atm if ryles is investing in the juniors then that's even better. All we really need is couple of decent edge players and a decent prop. I'm excited to see how matale goes Friday night he's been knocking on the door for a while now.
Mataele is a feel good story as he was an edge prodigy, big raps on him and his defence was poor and had injuries quite a bit. Moved to the middle late 2023 and played there last year, simplifying his game and was a lot better. Now being rewarded. It is a nice depth option to have in the future. Cheap and reliable.

Yep agree, really rate the kid.
I say get Sandon Smith any way need a great back up
Are you saying Smith as a back-up? If so he wont come here to be a back-up. Plus we are extending Volkman to be the back-up.
Piss off Volkman he no good and have Smith on the bench he could play hooker 5/8 or half
