    • Agree, he cannot close the deal on high end talent, it's beyond frustrating to constantly see this happen.

      Missing out of Galvin isn't the end of the world, but MON is costing us bigtime.

  • If the NRL was a professional organisation they would investigate Gould and the many conflict of interests he has going. He has openly recruited him via his numerous media outlets for the past year. The dogs must also have an unlimited salary cap over there too

    • Don't hate the player, hate the game. The Dogs management went and got Gus and Ciraldo. They're reaping the rewards. I wish our leadership was that savvy.

      We can't whinge our way to success, at some point we've got to start demanding success ourselves.

      Gus is known for basically running the NRL behind the scenes. The Bulldogs went and poached him. Smart!

      We failed to get Bennett and then retained Mark O'Neill. Dumb!

      This is on us, not on our competitors.

      • Cap I mean yes I been trying to tell some on here for years but most couldn't look past the last coach.Your exactly right as soon as Gus got involved with this it was game over for us and the Bennett chase only reiterates what you mention here.

        We don't have the pulling power of other clubs it's that simple no matter what spin anyone wants to put on it.I fear until behind the scenes is fully soughted and on track here we are as you say floundering where we are.Yes it's a long way back for us.But basically this is just another kick in the guts for the sleeping giant that's apparently still asleep at the wheel.

      • But we got Ryles, and I think he is going to prove to be a fantastic coach. He has made a heap of changes and there defintilely seems to be huge improvements in the way Parra play their footy. We have some talented palyers showing their value this season: Iongi, Papalli, Moretti, Tuvati etc, plue a whole heap coming through in the junior system. We have just opened a centre of excellence that looks impressive, from all accounts, and we have a few million to spend on new recruits for next season. So, whilst it is a disappoitment that we missed Galvin, there are still heaps of positives going forward. It took the Bulldogs a few years to get out of the mess, even with Gould, so we need to be patient (something that evey Parra supporter has in spades).

        • He still got to have the bullets to fire though IG that's the point really or it's a knife to a gunfight type deal.

          Positively and your right about JR defensively the last month we've been #2 in the nrl winning 2 of 4.The teams showing signs.

        • My issue isn't with our team or our coach Ian, it's with our Retention and Recruitment.

          Yes, we got Ryles who has been showing good things. But we didn't target Ryles. We targeted Bennett. And we lost. Ryles came to us and all we had to do was say "sure".

          We lost Reed. We lost Brown. We lost Sanders. We lost Blaze. Heck we couldn't even offload Matterson when we tried.

          I have no issues with Ryles and our juniors. I have massive issues with our Head of Football who has seemingly failed at every major task he's been given for many years now.

          We will lose more talent. We will miss out on more opportunities. This will keep happening until something changes.

  • Looks like it's locked in now.

    Galvin to the Dogs 

    Am I sad? A bit. He could turn into something amazing, he could not. 

    Am I furious that MON has managed to stuff up yet ANOTHER recruitment target?

    Yes.

    Our Retention and Recruitment has got to be the worst in the NRL and has been consistently terrible for years now. Mark O'Neill must go immediately. There is now no other choice. He has failed monumentally again. This continual failure shouldn't have been tolerated for this long, but surely this is the straw that breaks the camels back.

    This isn't about Galvin, this is about our R&R failure. We targeted Galvin publicly and failed... again. The Dogs denied chasing him and still got him across the line.

    Change must happen.

  • Let's hope he becomes the next Ash Taylor now lol.

    Well done MON. Useless as usual

Personally, I'm not too bothered that Galvin doesn't want to play for the club he grew up supporting, his true colours have come through and all the best to him at the bullflops. Our club is on the way up, there have been so many positives over the…
