Some at the NRL weren’t at the NRL when the Glenn Stewart situation arose and the Glenn Stewart scenario is nothing like the Galvin contract.Stewart/Manly were trying to do a contract that was well below market value.Galvin will be paid market value.Just because the Tigers were offering ridiculous overs for him,doesn’t mean that’s his market value.Would any other club offer Galvin a million a season?
When they've got a pub pokies benefactor whose even more shady than Politis anything is possible. Another outright rort that the spineless nrl will do nothing about.
100%, kind of makes me think the Tigers new all along where he was going and thought they’d try and do a Gus on Gus, possibly inflated his price knowing full well Galvin was done at the Tig’s and wouldn’t take the contract regardless. NRL sets or accepts his contract value based on their assessment, said it before, you can pay overs, but not unders.
I agree - market value can't be based on the potential of a 19 year old who has only played 1.5 years of first grade footy & achieved nothing, it can only be based on his experience & what he has achieved thus far.
Not especially just about Galvin ... but clubs certainly do pay simply for potential. Example, 500k each for 4 years for Samuela and Latu!!
Oh absolutely, clubs can & do pay overs for certain players, but that doesn't automatically mean that's the market value of those players is the point I was trying to make.
You may be right but if market value is not what the market will pay.. then what is it?!!
I think it has to be determined across multiple criteria such as proven performance of the player, existing contract value of the player, age of the player and an average of multiple offers…
Generally accepted to be the point at which a willing purchaser and a willing, but not anxious vendor, would reach agreement
The Kid has been put on a Pedestal by his own admission on the field
I think there are some differences mainly he is a fair bit younger than DCE and also the world has moved on in the 10 years or so since DCE first did his backflip
