OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Needaname]

We did rush him. He skipped Flegg against young men and KOE against hardened and experienced men to go straight into first grade against elite men.
His results in the top grade were not that great last year yet he has become extremely over hyped and dare I say over rated by people with alterior motives. We are now facing a situation where we are likely to be forced to either cough up an unreasonable amount of money to keep him, potentially losing other players who are more developed, or he walks.

Just was listening to his Bloke Podcast. Following the HM 2022 season. Sheens and McDonald signed Galvin, TDS, Jordan Miller and the Lauilli brothers into the Top 30.
Galvin was in year 11 at the time.

TDS is the only one so far that has been brought through correctly.
He has climbed the ladder and earned his way. It is possible Kit may do so as well. Lachlan has learnt the hard way and has luckily remained injury free. Miller is a dud and Luke came through way too fast and is now copping head issues.

Weird isn't the word that comes to mind.

Come on, we all have evil nasty thoughts from time to time.

It only becomes an issue when we make the mistake of telling people about them.

Yes.but signing a year 11 student to a top 30 contract?
Have a look at the dud development contracts we handed out over the same period?
These kids could have been on them and we would have been able to strengthen our top 30 with first graders.
We’ve effectively been playing with a top 25 since 2023

Wish that were true. Look at their ground.

Hey, that's our ground too, as well as Penrith's for the next couple of years. 🤣

If after eight rounds we are still in the same or worse position and there is no improvement, Benji will be in the hot seat in a big way. I still think we are about to turn the corner, when we do there will plenty wanting to jump on the CROCODILE ROLL BUS!!!

Yeah, two months is a pretty good sample size to see if Benj can get improvement out of them. I think a new halves combination deserves that amount of time to work it out, just my own criterion.

Ok. Thats our ground as well. If it salves your conscious - im all in Hank the Yank. Or you prefer Tank?

We’ve had barely 10 genuine first graders at any one time during that period and the results show it.

Last real coach we had we came 9th.

You not counting the two premiership winners plus origin shield holder then?

That ties into my point.
We havent done things the way that works best.

Million dollar men. No guarantees of a premiership.

Absolutely not. We only won 1 premiership

 

[Demps]

We have a half who's available for 2026...
Named Jayden Sullivan.

They can have him instead.

 

[mtd#2]

Not you. Every post you make is perfect. Makes total sense. Hope to reach the same heights as yourself one day.

One can dream, but try not to judge yourself too harshly.

Whi signed Bud again? Hope he's gone whoever it was. Again. We could use that money.

I notice he’s not on the list, but to think Taumalolo is a million dollar player in 2025 (And will be for another couple of years) is madness. One of the reasons why contracts of that length are insane.

You see what I mean. I hang off every word. I do dare to dream. I will try not to judge myself. I will take a long hard look at myself. Thanks for your wisdom. Again. MTD2

Its about Security. Not money remember.

 

[cktiger]

He hasnt really been given a chance. there's a difference when coming off the bench as #14 vs starting week in week out in the #6 jersey.
Latu is great.

So we give him a chance when we don’t need to?
Pretty sure the coaching staff know their priorities.
