OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I think it showed that he is more effective playing a little wider of the ruck at the moment. He doesn’t need to touch the ball 5 times a set. Just pick his times to inject himself when he sees an opportunity.

In the To’a/Turuva movement, it was actually Api who played the pivot role and got the defence to slow down which provided Lachie the necessary space to do his thing.

Exactly as I saw it.
Api is our best first receiver inside the opposition 20.
Id like to see Api as first receiver and he is chosing to either go right to Lachy or left to Luai, having both those guys a little wider and in full on attack mode with Bula floating is very dangerous for defences. At this time of the year it will reap big point hauls.

Terrell May can also jump into pivot too. Getting both our 6s playing for 3 on twos is the recipe.

I think that Latu and his manager will look to move on if stuck behind JL and Galvin… he probably wants his chance to get his own big deal , but that will require a couple of years playing in the halves in the NRL which is unlikely to be happening at WT

Inevitable..we can live with that
Buds still floating around too

Best spine in the comp except Melbourne haha
 
We are a completely different club from when we lost Teddy and Moses..

If we lose Galvin we still have Laui, Latu, Api, Bula, May, etc...
There WILL be players out there that would love to come here and play with this team.

Richardson knows how to build a club and what he has done in 12 months is outrageous.. Souths wanted him back, but he signed here. (best signing we have had as a JV)

We deserve this success and if Galvin doesn't want to stay for the rewards it's his lose IMO

Watching Galvin live even before the game his an 18/19 yo energizer bunny and is so raw and skinny. So much talent but just a kid. As benji says he just wants to play. Still a bit ball hog ish but it will iron out with Laui. Lachie is the best raw nervous talent I have seen since benji … 🤔 slams coming but we pay what we need

Every time he calls the ball and it’s not on is another rep to learn from. I think we just have to live with that. He’s played less than 30 NRL games. Imagine him at 100 NRL games when he’s played 2 more seasons with Api & Luai.

It’d be madness to let the kid leave at that point.
 
IMO, Galvin is not yet a $1M player. I don't think any 19-year-old NRL player is. He'll get there but like Luai or Brown or Cleary, that contract will come after a period of sustained success. Say at 23/24 years old. Even that is earlier than the others mentioned who didn't get their $1M contract till later. None of them got $1M per year at age 19/20. Luai had to wait til he was 28 and won 4 premierships. This obsession of jumping the gun and paying overs is all player-manager shenanigans to control the narrative and create a false economy.

With that in mind, it is 6 months into this year's deal at the end of April. This is when I think a deal will be presented by WT. A top-up of $250k for the remainder of this year (bringing it up to $500k), an extra $350k for next (bringing it to $700k). Then two more years at $800k pa.

That is the equivalent of another team offering him $1.1M For 2027/2028. No other teams can offer him what we can (due to the extra 18 months we can increase his deal that they can't). And I doubt other teams will offer over $1.1M per season at this stage in his career.

He will be 24 at the end of that contract and that's when he will get his $1M+ per year deal either with us or with someone else. If he doesn't seriously consider that deal, then fine. We keep him for this year (on $250k) and next (on $350k). Have a real crack at top 4 next year with him and save cap space.

My hunch is he extends and all this talk is part of the art of the deal, as frustrating as it may be, and regardless which way it falls we sorta win either way. One way, we keep a local junior on good coin but not overs. The other is we have him for next year on a steal. Win win.
