OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Tucker]

Have to disagree with you there. Munster is not too quick, or Cleary for that matter. Galvin will get to a point where he can run over someone, pass or kick and the defence won’t know which option to look for. He’s 19 and played what 20 games?

There’s a reason he’s in high demand.

Munny and Nathan are both very quick off the mark. They have explosive speed on change of angle as well. It’s why both have no issues breaking the line when they think there’s a chance. Yes they don’t have top line speed like Moses or Brown etc..that’s why they have fullbacks and wingers follow them.

 

[cktiger]

Faster, smarter, team player and only 14 months older!
Galvin looking for $1mil pa? You've got to be dreaming!

Don't think you can say he's smarter as he relies totally on speed.
Team player or opportunist after tonight?

 

[cktiger]

He's not in demand at all, he's just being talked up by a few influential disrupters. Who wants him? Panthers? No. Storm? No. Sharks? No. Broncos? No. Knights? No. Manly? No, they've got Brooks. Any top 8 side. No.
And Munster ain't slow.

They've got Brooks?
Seriously?😂

Speed off the mark is one of those things nobody can really prove or disprove so I won’t go there.

I think what Munster and Cleary do have is great instincts of when to run the ball and they play behind the best packs in the comp, so they’ve certainly had a lot of learning reps.

If Lachy is keen to go elsewhere, no doubt a better forward pack would be one of the big reasons.

I just hope he gets to play some front foot footy this year so we get to see more of his best stuff. His running game I’ll admit often looks clunky and disruptive. If you watch him
Closely though he often holds onto the ball rather than put a teammate under pressure. Opening up our attack so there’s more opportunities outside him will be a big focus for Benji this year.

Panthers were very interested at one stage I believe. Happy to leave it mate, we’ll see how his career goes.

This is the best thing about this discussion. We’ll actually know the answer in about 4 years time.

Munster has a great fend. But in that team it’s Jarome Hughes who is dangerous because of his speed. He creates so much because defenders have to stick to him. Luke Keary was the same with his speed.

The reigning Dally M winner. If Munster gets back to his best the Storm are going to be very hard to beat.

 

[gallagher]

Win themselves a spoon?
What was so great about him last year?

Ah c'mon. He was crap was he? He won us the spoon?

Hughes is such an underrated player. He is a constant threat to the defence due to his speed. In the halves, there is no substitute for genuine pace. That is why when Fainu is in the halves, he straightens our attack because his speed and step get him to the outside of his opponent.

Watch Hughes his speed off the mark causes all problems for the defence.

No I’m not saying he was crap. He wasn’t crap.
He is also wasn’t great and definitely not as good as people are trying to make out.
He ran our attack - touched the ball way more than any other player as first receiver and the result was the worst attack in the comp and a last placed finish.
That does not equal a multi million dollar multi year contract upgrade in my view.

 

[tigerballs]

They've got Brooks?
Seriously?😂

Do you think they'd prefer to pay $1m for Galvin?

 

[weststigerman]

It was strongly implied When you challenged my post being critical of people doing this (post 4754) - otherwise why respond with irrelevant points to what I was saying ?

seems you must agree with me then … all good 👍

As I said in the post you replied to originally, if someone wants to offer him $1M+ for 2027 and beyond, then let him go. Being our best player in a wooden spoon year doesn’t earn that IMO.

Nothing to do with what position he should play.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I wonder what the tigers offer would have been for Galvin
Upgrade to $ 500 k 2025 , $ 600k 2026
Extension x 4 years $ 875 to $ 1 million per year

 

[Tito Santana]

Fletcher Sharpe is better than Galvin.

If Galvin continues to play bad, he will be replaced by Latu and Sharpe will become the hot property in the market. Selfishly, i hope this happens so this teenage jerk gets a life lesson.

 

[supercoach]

Iam amazed how people are turning on Galvin when all he is doing or should I say his agent, is trying to obtain maximum dollar for his next contract. Loyalty went out the window decades ago, and Iam sure if we have a crack this year he will give Richo every chance to land his signature, but at the end of the day it will come down to dollars and a opportunity to win a comp

 

[the enforcer.]

Sorry everyone for being negative, but just cant grab all the hype about Galvin YET. Will be happy to be proved wrong.

If he continues to improve it most likely get him offers around that mark. The same will happen to Humphries and Sharpe.

I thought he had a great rookie year when you consider he came into an uncoached wooden spoon team.

If it’s dollars his agent is saying we must have made an offer and it’s been knocked back , I would give his agent permission to field offers now on the condition if matched he signs or if by chance say Parra offer him $ 1.2 million per year 5 years we could say jam that , Parra take him but we get one in return and he can go now ( Hopgood )

Agreed. Whether the kid doesn't perform and decides to go, that's his choice. He is 19 years old and trying to navigate everything, and he has his agent in his ear. If he leaves the Tigers in 2027, so be it. Good luck to him. Players come and go all the time; it's a part of the sport. Unless he does a Josh Aloiai, I have no problem with whatever his decision is.
