But he’s not looking to extend right? 🤔
OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.
- Thread starter ancient_magpie
- Start date
Galvin commits his future to the Wests Tigers
ByAdrian Proszenko and Adam Pengilly
Updated June 14, 2024 — 11.26amfirst published June 10, 2024 — 12.18pmLachlan Galvin has ended speculation over his future by assuring Wests Tigers powerbrokers that he is fully committed to seeing out his contract.
Galvin sent a text message to coach Benji Marshall on Thursday night reiterating he wanted to be part of the club, just days after officials held an emergency meeting with his family.
Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson and head of football Matthew Betsey visited Galvin’s parents at their Gregory Hills home on Wednesday to discuss the teenager’s future after his agent requested a release last week.
Galvin is signed until the end of 2026, but his future was clouded after a series of requests to explore his options.
However, Galvin has decided he wants to be at the forefront of Tigers resurgence and has informed club hierarchy that he would fulfil his contractual obligations. Sources speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely said that Wednesday’s meeting, which Galvin did not attend, was a positive one.
The 18-year-old is considered a superstar in the making, a rare bright spot for the wooden spooners during his 10 NRL appearances to date. Several rival clubs were interested in his services should he become a free agent, but it is now a moot point after recommitting for the long haul.
Galvin has enjoyed a stellar career as a junior, winning 11 grand finals despite being let go by the club he supported, Parramatta. His NRL career also got off to a winning start, playing an impressive hand in the Tigers’ opening two victories.
However, it has been a difficult period since as the Tigers lost nine straight games. Galvin, who will be rested from this weekend’s clash against the Gold Coast due to a hand injury, has thought long about his development and decided as a playmaker and decided better days are ahead for the joint-venture outfit.
The Eaglevale-St Andrews junior is expected to partner incoming superstar Jarome Luai in the halves next season, while fellow Panther Sunia Turuva will give the side more strike out wide.
The future of another Tigers half, Bud Sullivan, is less clear. Sullivan has been granted permission to explore his options, despite being contracted until the end of 2027.
This is the first part, Im sure He will get every dollar he deserves.

I’m not assured by this latest article
His upcoming performances will determine where his mind is at

Any more to this story mate ? Like who the help is?
He's got a long long way to go this boy
He dogged it big time yesterday
Texting the coach... Front up in person or at least call him.
Couldn't even be bothered to attend the meeting
He can't front up when he needs to... Goes some way to earning some respect back.
Hope his parents are proud... "daddy! I want a pony" now!

If there is no extension there can be no confidence in his intentions beyond November 2025. I would be giving fainu the opportunity to see what he has got.
I think alot is being thrown at him and his head is deadset spinning. Which is to be expected.
Have no idea if he was even asked to go to the meeting or not, or what the text msg said. My kids text me all the time stuff rather than call or come meet me these days - it’s the today way to do things for these teenagers.
Yeah not sure if the texting is a big deal - kids these days don't see it as a less respectful way of communicating.

Much ado about nothing...
Might be one of his younger brothers. Pinched his phone and took the piss.
I note his manager and parents have said nothing about it and they are the ones leading him
Are you for real?
It's all about him he should be there
This isn't a kid Texting dad saying he's goin to have the car a few hours longer
Benji is his boss and there's 100s of thousands of dollars being discussed
@tomshins Why he wouldn't be invited is a stretch as well.. If its.me.im expecting to be there... I don't see why he wouldn't be invited this isn't U/10s and he's not a minor
I don't blame Galvin for not agreeing to an extension. He will want to see how we are travelling by this time next year I would think. So it's up to the club to put a competitive team on the field next year that can show considerable improvement and point the way to the future. If this doesn't happen, he'll be out the door. Such is life. He doesn't strike me as being the type of man who is prepared to stick tough and be that guy that builds a legacy by leading the club to become regular finals contenders.
As always, time will tell.

I'm aware it's the norm... But it's disrespectful and shows how he's been taught
There was no Texting or emailing at my old employer... Wasn't accepted

So what’s our stance on him? Do we just hate him for the next 2 and a half seasons?
