OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[hammertime]

Just need to hold him through this period. Next year he'll have Jerome next to him.

But if he continues with that BS saying he wants out. Make him ride the pine, let him know there are consequences. But seeing the interview with the kid, I can't understand that.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Yes. Fair bit of chopping and changing. Saukuru and Luke Laulii on left wing.

Galvin didn't train but signed autographs.

Shouldn’t he be resting his hand ?

 

[Halbrowne61]

Galvins parents are meeting with trent Robinson this week I heard

Now does that constitute tampering ??
Over to you Richo !

I just can’t see having Jerome will improve this team , unless we get at leased 4 hard nosed forwards , if we get that we can get by with the backs we have , but we need grunt up front for the half’s to do there thing

Definitely more than a one man fix but he is a good inclusion and will take some pressure of Api.

Even Wally Lewis could not get the Gold Coast Seagulls off the bottom of the ladder by himself ..

Jerome needs some help … NRL ready immeadiately winger ( another one), centre, back row and prop ..at a minimum …maybe another prop to replace Stef

Nothing anyone can do really. If it's true it's a real scummy move but his parents can meet with anyone they want. The Roosters will just say they're family friends having a catch up over lunch. Meanwhile the whole meeting was prob orchestrated by Isaac Moses as a way to negotiate for Galvin keeping him at arms length from doing anything wrong by getting the parents to tell their son whatever the Roosters want to know. After setting the whole meeting up. How can we prove any wrong doing. I wonder if another club has agreed to terms with him behind the Tigers back if they could offer him a contract now from 2027 onwards. Like Penrith did with Cleary. Or is that not allowed as part of the anti tampering rules.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

the only way he stays long term is if we see finals footy.

As long as no one finds out, you’re sweet.
Our club needs to stop telling the world how good our juniors are.
You don’t hear Bellamy or a Bennett talk up their young blokes like we do.
One of their young guns has a cracking good game and they’ll say “yeah, he’s coming along slowly, still lots to work on, but it’s encouraging”.
One of our young blokes has a pearler and we’re shouting from the rooftops “this kid will captain his country one day, it’s encouraging because we have another 4 or 5 coming through just like him in the next year or so”.

 

[Tucker]

Yeah, he’ll go.
If he’s telling people this club is stunting his development after we’ve played the prick all year as an 18 year old, then we won’t keep him happy. We are years and years away from finals footy unless we keep all our talent together and boost them with 5 or 6 more outside hire pro’s in their mid to late 20’s.
It’s much easier to just join a club already setup for success.

Galvin's name would have been in books of most NRL clubs long before he hit first grade.

 

[Kelce68]

Sure they are.

Oh dear.

That seems to be the M.O. for too many players today.

 

[ancient_magpie]

Sure they are.

If Latu Fainu was fit and playing well you'd see a different attitude from Galvin.

 

[Tucker]

If Latu Fainu was fit and playing well you'd see a different attitude from Galvin.

Yeah agreed.

 

[Canberratiger]

If Latu Fainu was fit and playing well you'd see a different attitude from Galvin.

You reckon maybe that is why he is kicking up a stink now whilst Latu is unavailable? Maybe Latu is better and the Galvin team are concerned about him being shown up

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I think regardless of whether Galvin wants to leave or not the club needs to put a line in the sand and hold him here for the next two seasons, I firmly believe Richo will do this. Promote Latu into the halves when he is fit and Galvin can play KOE, unless he changes his mind. I personally think Latu will turn out to be the better player anyhow.

Galvin or his parents probably feel the same. Hence; lets get the $$$$ in the bank now?

 

[Furious1]

We are in a really strong position with this. Apart from the contract, we have a few options. Mental health card? Take him out of first grade away from the pressure. Not developing properly? Go back to Flegg for the rest of the year and develop and help them to win.
Its a no brainer for the club at this point, his contract is far from breaking the bank.

 

[lathami]

Flano said no to the release, so he signed on for another year?
You don’t suppose his contract was upgraded or some other carrot introduced?
I think some players ask for a contract upgrade and perhaps are not taken seriously or clubs are slow to react, hence the threats to leave as a motivator?
Both Galvin and Hunt are similar in that they both are crucial to their teams success, so it’s understandable

Please do not put Galvin and hunt in the same comparison world. Hunt steers the ship around does all the little things right. Plus he’s been doing it for years not two minutes. Without Hunt drag queens would be not much better than us. Galvin playing we are still 2-10, 9 in a row hardly crucial.
