OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I had been thing this way as well. It’s like the Storm era of Smith, Cronk and Slater. However after rewatching the Dolphins game I think we lose that game if Galvin doesn’t play.
His fitness is next level. he was everywhere. In attack he was creating numbers and plugging holes if we were short on a side. I don’t think he is a normal 5/8. He is like the drummer in a band keeping the team going.
Now here is a happy band of men displaying what team work is all about, watch them step it right up when they get to attack speed and beyond, and yes, fitness is of paramount importance in these situations.

 
The MacArthur Weststigers are in the Laurie Daly GF today vs The Dragons, around 1.30pm.

Here's a fun fact -- Lachlan Galvin's younger brother Thomas is in the side on the bench No. 17 in the photo below. He looks a runt doesn't he? Here is a picture of him receiving his jersey from LG - he is 3 inches taller than LG who is 6 3 in the old language. Just another skinny beanpole eh? Maybe he becomes leverage in retaining the Galvinator?

Yep, The WTs have the best opportunity because he is on low $ now. If he isn’t signed long term this year. We wont have as bigger advantage
There is a 100 ways any club that signed him on Nov 1 could bump up his 2026 earnings. Okay they might be illegal but Iam sure a team like the Chooks could find away. The fact that we have him tied up for 2026 is a slight advantage as most clubs don’t look far beyond one season as they are chasing instant results

Any idea what position his brother plays?
 
His manager is attempting to inflate his next contract which will not come into force for 2 years. Galvin has said he has left contract matters in the hands of his manager. Believe him when he tells you this and remember Galvin is not a kid, he is 19.
Alas paws this seems to be the way it's heading so if he has no interest in extending now save dollars by leaving him on his modest contract he has at present.
If he won't accept a fair contract to keep us a chance of pushing for a premiership down the road we may have to switch to the Latu option.
If he is getting =>1.3M offers I can't see how we can match that and remain a chance of pushing for a premiership it will affect the quality of players around him.

This is where the 3rd party deals become very important

We're fortunate we have Richardson who will know whether WTs is being used to leverage more $ from other teams. A large contract requires salary cap room. Apparently some club's were ready last year to take on such a large outlay plus the inevitable third party arrangements if you consider the requests for release last preseason. Which club's had that room then?

The never ending contract sagas good to watch if it's not happening to your club, when something gets leaked about DCE's next contract destination the puzzle might start to unravel.

Throw in Pat Richard’s side and start an NBL franchise. These kids are giants.
 
I don't necessarily think the money is the huge issue with Galvin.

I expect he is going to get paid well.

It's how the club plans to use him. Is he a 5/8 long term? If so- what happens with Latu Fainu?

Is there a chance Galvin moves to the back row? Or centre? Could Fainu move to centre? Would Fainu be satisfied with #14?

We are so lucky in some ways. We are now faced with the potential of having too many quality players to fit into the squad. It would be a sad day though, to lose one of Fainu or Galvin, simply because they are both stuck in one position.

There simply has to be a way to get the best players into the team.
 
is the kid really worth a mega deal, surely, we can squeeze him for a couple of hundred. Everything has played into his hands of late .DCE ,Dylan Brown, the new teams starting up. If anyone throws a spanner into the works ,i hope it's his parents. People say Izzac is stirring the pot, want Mum n Dad to leverage that gamesmanship, and cut ties. Good luck carrying Brookes. I doubt whether he could hide in any other team but ours- hasn't earned it yet. Allways something around the corner no point betting the farm on him
I think Galvin is worth $600k x 3y. He may prove me wrong by the end of the year, but I’m going on purely his work so far. Galvin doesn’t tackle as much as Brooks but when he does he doesn’t miss as many.
Brooks has been a crucial part of the Manly attack, being involved in 39% of their tries, while Galvin’s try involvement at Tigers is a mere 8.5%.
