OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I disagree. I think he plays what he sees. I think he does everything for a purpose to gage the outcome.
I go back to the the kick on the 3rd after the penalty when Galvin was behind the 40.
He is looking ahead seeing where Ponga is, asking for the ball off the ruck. Bird runs in between the passing line from TDS and makes adds more time until Galvin gets the ball.
He receives it and realises the 40/20 is covered and looks to and kicks back in field. Ponga also sees that and marks it easily.
That’s just one example.
Another is how he got the repeat set after the 3rd grubber through the line.
Each time he kicked that grubber he kicked it exactly the same way low driving and across the grain out towards the sideline.
First 1 didn’t have enough. Second was marked by Ponga and he gets back from in goal. Third made it out to the winger and the defence traps him.
He is a kid with enormous skill, learning to read the play and does so with a smile on his face every time.
What’s not to love.

For every example like that there’s 2 or 3 showing him urgently demanding the ball, having no plan at all and running across field where he gets caught by the defence. This confuses everyone and the next play is just a simple hit up with a dominant tackle as no one is following any organised structure.
You have to earn the right to play eyes up footy. You don’t do it every touch.

Agree with that. That’s junior footy mindset. Give me the ball I can score. I seem to remember when Mitch Moses was with us he did the same. Took him some years to mature to realise he needs his team to score and it’s not an individual’s game.
 

Why Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall holds fullback Lachlan Galvin’s future in his hands​


Galvin's future "going to be one of the stories of the year"
Benji Marshall will be the difference between rising star Lachlan Galvin staying or leavingthe Wests Tigers.
If the teenage prodigy stays, Marshall should be chaired across Leichhardt Oval andapplauded for retaining one of the most promising players in the NRL.
But if Galvin goes, that’s on Marshall.
This isn’t a hit job on the fledgling coach.
It’s about understanding the club-defining influence of an NRL head coach, far beyondsweep plays and getting over the advantage line.
It’s the case for every coach in the NRL, as is the life that Roosters mentor TrentRobinson is living right now.
Cover this game long enough and speak to the game’s most high-profile players duringtheir contract negotiations, you learn the importance of the decision that relates back tothe head coach.
Flashy training facilities, good players around you and a bank balance that reflects yourmarket worth, are obvious factors for any player making a major call on their future.
Holding most sway, is the coach.
Not a day goes by in the NRL that one of the 17 head coaches aren’t discussingrecruitment, meeting with a prospective signing, a junior coming through the system or aplayer their attempting to retain.
Benji Marshall holds the biggest sway over Lachlan Galvin’s decision to stay at the club.
Will I develop under this coach? Does he create a culture and an environment I want tobe a part of? Do I believe that we can achieve success under this coach?
Off-contract at the Wests Tigers at the end of next season, these are all the questions thatGalvin will ask, if he decides to take himself to the open market on November 1, to perusehis options elsewhere for 2027.
2/3
For the same reason that Marshall holds the future of Galvin in his hands, Eels coachJason Ryles began his first pre-season at the club late last year with one eye on theoverall vision for Parramatta.
The other eye was on his roster, and most importantly Dylan Brown, whose get-outclause in his current contract, is causing all sorts of stress for the Eels.
Yet Ryles is a realist.
He hasn’t run from the fact that he has had roughly four months to show Brown why heshould remain an Eel. It’s not a lot of time to work with.
Ryles hasn’t passed on the responsibility of wooing Brown to the club CEO or board.
He might be a rookie coach, but Ryles has been in the game long enough to know that ascoach, selling the future of the footy team to Brown, is on him.
What has Ryles done? He re-signed Mitchell Moses to an extended deal.
It is as much about backing the club captain to maintain his elite standard, but also as asign of stability to the 24-year-old Brown.
Players need to have utmost belief in their coach.
Ask yourself what the major lure for Stephen Crichton to leave the most dominant club ofthe modern-era in Penrith and join the Bulldogs was?
How many games will the Tigers win in 2025?
“I wouldn’t be the player I am without what he’s taught me,” Crichton said of Dogs headcoach Cameron Ciraldo.
Raiders five-eighth Ethan Strange is the same age as Galvin.
This is what he said after re-signing with the Green Machine until the end of 2028.
“I’m loving the way my footy is going and the coaches trust in me,” Strange said.
“This place has become my home and I love it and all the boys here.”
Take Sharks captain Cameron McInnes for example and why recently he took only a 12-month extension to re-sign at the club instead of picking up a two or three-year deal at arival club.
“I feel and all the boys feel the same that, as long as he’s (Craig Fitzgibbon) the coachhere, the team is going to be pushing for that main goal every single year,” McInnes saidlast week.

Is it a coincidence that of all the clubs in the world, injured Rooster Brandon Smith is onthe verge of signing a deal at the Rabbitohs, where coach Wayne Bennett has a proventrack record of resurrecting the careers of banged-up players?
We can pretend that the Wests Tigers centre of excellence or CEO Shane Richardson willbe the architect behind the negotiation of retaining Galvin.
The truth is, Marshall has all the power. We’re about to learn just how much.

Fullback ?

Who wrote this nonsense lol
 
It would be funny if with all the cap money free’d up WT look to sign Brown to partner Luai. Now that would be some speed and strike in the spine!

Did the writer not do his research, Galvin ain’t no fullback

Fitness was definitely a problem. I noticed Pole inside the first five minutes could not get back onside until our second tackle. As the game went on he was joined by numerous others. TDS was penalized in our half for the same problem. We are not match fit yet but it is only round 1. Other sides look fitter.

I haven't watched a replay, though I thought that Tallyn was involved in the tackle on the kicker and penalised for simply getting up to and ready for the second play the ball, when Seyfarth passed it to him without a call.
