OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Richardson did link the upgrade to an extension of his contract. Intuitively, I tend to think this is as much a strategy to know where he (or is manager is at). A rejection will confirm all we need to know hence the comment about anti-tampering.

My take is the convo will be - he is here for 2yrs and that won’t change. So he can earn alot more money and agree to an extension or play the 2yrs at a reduced rate, either way he won’t be granted a release.

It’s not as though he is sucking on the field and playing like a kid not wanting to win. I don’t see that happening be a sure fire way to miss out on a very lucrative deal otherwise in 2yrs time.

He is certainly one of our best 17 already .. and you would imagine he will keep improving as he gets more experience…

Let’s hope it stays that way … Do you recall what happened with Moses when he stopped trying?

If this was true, why would Richo even be fighting to keep that kind of locker room cancer about?

It's career suicide if true.

I find it very hard to believe too.

Firstly, he's supposedly a quiet kid & that would be out of character.
Secondly, his team mates would be massively pissed off led by captain Api & would bring him into line with a stern talking to.

Now 1 of 2 things should happen ...

1 If true, Lachlan should be reprimanded by team mates (including dying his hair like Api & Bud had to do) & issued with a 'please explain' to Richo, Benji & co for bringing the club into disrepute.

2 If false, Richo should come out publicly and say he has spoken to Lachlan who has denied it and file a complaint against News Corp with NRL.

Either way I'm pissed too and I want someone to pay consequences for their actions.

Yeah I get that too.

If I was Richo, I would still stop short of telling him he's our guaranteed 5/8. He will have the opportunity as should other guys (ie Latu) and that he may be played in other positions for his development (much like his mate Blaize over at Parra).

Moses and Galvin very different situations.

Galvin as an 18yr on a base contract with another 2yrs to go has alot more to lose than Moses an established NRL player on good coin and 6mths left does if Galvin stopped trying. He plays 2yrs in KOE worse case if that happened.

The situation of his cap hold, Luai and Fainu mixed with currently Bud, AD and Sezar options are very different for us as well.

I agree with the position part. Hate it when players chuck the toys out of the cot if asked to play another position.
 
Can’t see him extending his contract anytime soon, even if he will be forced to see out his current deal on average coin. Moses is like a dog with a bone, he will keep banging on the door for the release and the publicity it generates has a extremely negative affect on the club.

Also it would probably suit a team to get him in a few years down the track when he is a hardened NRL player.

If and when they reject our offer I would get Latu into no6 and use Galvin as a 14
 
I think we give this kid a good old fashion booing next home game when he takes the field

It’s turned David faffita around from joining the roosters and it prevented Payne hass from leaving the broncos

It’s a delicate situation it could really brake the kid but I hopefully it makes him realise he isn’t bigger than the club

I must admit it would be hard to boo him he has been great for us this year
 
Does anyone know exactly what was said in the sheds?? Or do we really believe the sloth b/s??

according to the grapevine what the sloth reported is not the full context of what was actually said by Galvin. Yes unhappy at the loss and the season, is jacked by certain people not putting in a effort.

The problem I see with now with Richo now beating his chest about Galvin being contracted, you cant on one hand say the player is under contract and we wont be releasing him while on the other hand shop players around that are on contract and completely contradict what you are saying re loyalty and fulfilling your contractual agreement.

We as a club always leave ourselves open for being criticised by the media. And a lot of our fans have the same train of thought. You cant have your cake and eat it too and then wonder why we are up sh!t creek on a daily basis.

And if its true that Galvin has been playing with a fractured hand that's poor form on the clubs part. You cant expect a young kid to be happy that he is forced to play while other players injured and another kid the same age, in the same position on half a million a year is continually sitting out due to an injury.

Its not any of the players faults but the WT administration (past and present) because we have no depth WHATSOEVER, All the kids we keep spruiking about coming through are not setting the world on fire in NSW Cup (I think the team is coming last), if we end up rushing them through too, injuries will be bound to follow.

The club has every right to seek to balance the cap and fill gaps in the squad.

Secondly, these players are not regular first graders on decent contracts. If they can get a start elsewhere, it benefits both parties.

If it's by mutual decision, it's fine. The Galvin situation is not mutual.

I'm sure there's lots of WT players and coaches on here
