OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

WesternSuburbsBoy said:
I've been to three games so far & it doesn't show up on the TV but Luai is directing where everyone needs to be in our attacking shapes & hands out a fair few sprays if someone has missed their assignment or aren't where they need to be. As someone said he's not giving the last pass but he is having a hand in the build up to the tries like Turuvas first one against the Fins.

He has zero tries or try assists. Almost no attacking stats. He is worse than adam blair as a signing
 
Went to get some milk from the shops and I kid you not in my 2 minute trip they started and finished a segment on Lachie Galvins contract on Triple M. Brent Read re-iterated what Weidler said about 5 year extension (I’m pretty sure he said extension) but he said it would be between 5-5.5 mil over the 5 years and suggested it could even be more than 5y. He also said there was some hostility between Isaac Moses and Richo but they are now on much more amicable terms.

Rothfield was also there and unsurprisingly he could only speak negatively, pressing Ready on whether having Isaac Moses as his agent and his relation to Mitch Moses could potentially shift Galvin towards the Eels. However, Read said that he reckons Tigers are gonna throw the best deal at Galvin and if he left it wouldn’t be for money, but that’s just conjecture by Rothfield and Read so don’t read into it too much.

I didn’t go on Sunday but I went to the Newy game and it was noticeable how assertive Luai was. His talk was unbelievable and something I’ve never seen in a tigers jersey. People who are upset he hasn’t set up a billion tries yet don’t understand how much influence he has behind the scenes on our players

The thing is he has setup a billion tries. If you go back and watch the tape, just watch what he is doing in the 1-2 tackles before a try is scored. Then he is quite often the first receiver in a long back-line shift. So he doesn't get credited with anything, but really 80% of the credit in those tries is due to his work.

$5million for 5 years is a very fair offer. With a cap that will continue to increase, and a market that is void of many good halves, it's spot on I think

People acting like we can afford to offer less and losing him wouldn't be bad is boggling my brain. He's the best young prospect in the entire league! He will do nothing but get better

Yeah we've got Latu, but last year he didn't even get through 80 minutes. We can find a way to fit him in the team too.

Galvin would be silly to accept any offer until the season is over. Doubt it's resolved until then. Hope everyone has fun stressing about it until then!

But we don’t need to go the early crow, do we ? Plenty of time to gauge the mood and draft an offer. If possible, I’d back end it so he earns as he grows, and the incentive is there to improve his footy. The Brown deal is a dangerous one, not only for Newy, but for the entire league.

Read is apparently mates with Richo, so if richo wants something out the media it would be through him. Love Richo

Front loading is a risk. Come year 3 or 4, the agitation to move on for more money can start.

Greed is strong.
I was gunna babble on about the type of contract I like, but you know what, I really just like the contract that Gal signs that says he’s gunna stay and play for the Tigers.
In Richo I must trust.

Latu should be our 7, luai our 6, and Galvin 13. Latu straightened our attack and took the line on more in 20 minutes then Galvin has all year .

Agreed. Galvin's biggest strength is his running and energy, which is something he can contribute from 13. In the modern game locks are arguable part of the spine, who's to say we don't innovate and push that to the next level

What's the front loading used for?

Buying a damn house!


Use human psychology. Player will need to start thinking of their future, upping a contract to say 600k and saying "hey that's a pretty good start on a home". Boom they have brought near the club.

But more to the point, front loading makes a stack of sense if your not making the 8 (we wont' be this year and we have cap room).
So take a 500k player.

Back load: Front Load:
400, 450, 550, 600. 600, 500, 450, 450

If a player is actually good, we probably will want to keep them.
We have fronted their salary already and if they turn around and say "hey I want more then 450k"... It's not a big jump to go "well that's a new contract, lets do 550k a year.
If the player is good and we have backloaded them, no diff.

If a player sucks, and we have frontloaded them. It's easier to shift 450k off the team. "hey XXX team, will you take this guy for 250k". we pay 200k

If a player sucks and we have backloaded them. Were on the hook for 600k! We try to offload them it's "Hey take this guy for 350k"? ... "150K?" and our cap takes a huge hit.


Why ruin future years?
If we know we are not making the 8, and heck the last 3 years we would have been lucky to make the top 14... Front load so were stronger for the future. Not back loading so were crippled trying to offload a Klemmer, Bateman, Reynolds, etc.

He can be our Yeo. And I’d love to keep him. I have no issues with us paying him overs, he will be a superstar. I think Latu will be something special too.
 
Gouldy says LG can't handle a mil a year for a young bloke
In euro football & nba for example some young blokes are earning a million dollars a week 💵

I remember a triple J plug:
"Warning! What you here on this station now, may be pushed as 'new Stuff' on triple M in 12 months time!"*

highly mobile running lock is nothing new now.
Souths really got it right with the Burgess's. Storm have been doing it with King, Penrith too.
Easts kinda used Jake Friend in that role a little. ...

This isn't innovation. Like sure I reckon we should tell Api to bulk up and get him to go Lock while Da Silva goes hooker for a bit. But that's an old idea done by lots of clubs.


Innovation was Benji Marshall in 2005. or what Souths did with playing from the forward pack to score. Or what Cronulla did under Flannagan.

We haven't earned the right to be innovative, yet. We still need to nail down the football basics and really build as a team.

*it was Jet, basically JJJ played them year round then finally the M and other stations caught onto them.

if we don't offer top dollar someone else will, and he'll go. We've won 3 spoons in a row we can't afford to let good players walk.

Market is too crazy now for halves in my opinion
