NRL NRL 2025 General Recruitment Thread

Galvin and Moses had the Tigers with the bullying claims. The best card the Tigers can play if they are going to release him.

Drop the legal proceedings and put some non-disclosure clauses on him. How long that lasts, who knows? In the past, this stuff would be brought up in an autobiography at the end of his career. We don't see as much of those now as people express their opinion via social media.

After splitting up Books, Moses, Tedesco and Woods when they came through at the same time and now Galvin. The Tigers must be dreading dealing with Moses whenever they have young guys coming through.

Tallyn Da Silva the latest

Makes sense, might as well make him sign something that forces him to praise Benji and Tigers for the rest of his life

Will be interesting to see because it’s not like Benji didn’t have him playing well. Maybe he’s keen on being a 7 and guiding a team, because both tigers and eels would have had him playing five eighth

I think dogs have a bye this week, would be interesting to see who gets dropped next week, their game plan seem to be structured like ours so doubt he can replace Sexton and provide the same consistency without teenage brain farts against Eels with Moses, the media scrutiny will be huge too, no idea why you want to bring all that to your team that's currently topping the table

Short term pain for long term gain I guess? Could even slot in seamlessly and they truck on? There’s talk they’ll play him in nsw cup for a bit, to get adjusted to their systems I guess? If Sexton wants to depart immediately, it will be interesting who they put there if they don’t deem him ready? Gould obviously rates him so highly

EXCLUSIVE: Mal Meninga to coach Perth Bears

In a huge coup, Rugby league immortal Mal Meninga is set to be unveiled as the inaugural coach of the Perth Bears. 6PR Radio Perth Live presenter Oliver Peterson revealed the current coach of the Australian Kangaroos is expected to link up with New South Wales Blues assistant coach Matt King...

Meninga to be Perth coach

Wow, I thought Arthur was a shoe-in for that.

24 years is a long time for Meninga to be out of the coaching gig (week in - week out). That's a big risk. He also had some damn good players in their prime at Canberra for a 53% winning record in his 4 years.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I wonder if it comes down to his relationships with names that they'd like to attract. Hands of Mitch, Big Mal.

Roosters winger Dom Young to join Knights in mid-season switch​

Roosters winger Dom Young to join Knights in mid-season switch​

Is that from here?

Roosters want to wait until they play the Knights so he doesn't play against them. In the past not playing against your old team has been a condition of releases. That would be easier than waiting until they play each other.

If they weren't playing against each other until after June 30 than I suspect it would be a condition.

The Rooster have flicked off quite a few high-profile signings that got a lot of attention at the time they were announced.

I reckon they’re making a big mistake if they’re signing DCE. The game is shifting on from the type of player he is. I just copied it in regards to the young to join knights banner

Junior Tupou has been given permission to negotiate with rivals. NZ born. Surely worth a look?

Think there was a few teams chasing him when he was at the tigers and chose dolphins. Isaako and Bostock have got these wings sewn up

 

[j_p]

Just wondering something after the galvin release.
Did we get a transfer fee for afb? We bloody should have if we didn't.
Or is that only for mid season moves?

I've seen some interesting comments on fb regarding the Gus Chammas drama. Apparently Gus has instigated legal action against Chammas for defamation of character. Fuck I hope this is true, and that Chammas gets his ass handed to him!!

Off the bulldogs forum. Gutless prick if true

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Glad that someone finally called Gus out on his hypocrisies. His emotional response is clearly a tactic to distract us from the real issue which is the insane conflict of interest he has exploited for far too long. If you are paid 1M plus on channel nine, you really shouldn't be using that position to market your club to a player like he has with Galvin. But beyond Gus, there are way too many opportunities for conflicts of interests in NRL media. Whether it is Braith Anasta holding NRL 360 whilst being a player manager or Gorden Tallis sitting on NRL 360 whilst his wife is a Titans board member. It really shouldn't be hard to enforce complete neutrality (ie no direct ties to clubs/players if you are in a media position). The lack of professionalism in this part of the game has to be cleaned up.

 

[snake77]

How many times has Gus used his time in the media to attack someone?

He'd often use his slots on various shows to attack someone when they'd come on. David Gallop would come on to explain the Storm salary cap scandal or something else and Gould will be prepped with notes ready to attack.

He often goes against his other colleagues on the same show this incident happened on. He often can't handle people having a different opinion to him.

If he wanted to pursue defamation than Chammas has the right to defend himself. That would lead to both sides needing to ask for and provide evidence. The main point for the discussion was Gould saying they weren't interested in Galvin and things changed recently. Chammas would have the right to get Gould, Moses or who else he suspects to provide email and phone records.

A lot of people bring up defamation either to scare the other party and get an apology. They also probably don't realise what is involved if things proceed.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Never, ever going to get to court over the defamation.

All just the usual bluster, threats and diversion.

There are integrity issues around how and when Galvin was approached while still under contract and Gould is just shutting down any future questioning of how he operates.
