OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Would love to see it if Latu progresses as most think.
If Galvin is happy to do so what you suggest and we can offer him good money we are on a winner... but don't forget he'll be offered BIG money by other clubs to stay in the halves.

Will come down to pay and ego and numbers on jerseys are relevant to both. Actually whacking 13 on Luai probably solves it but I hate giving in to kids. I prefer we have a new number system, we play a 7, 6 and 6.5

I’m hearing that Wedler journos is saying. 5 year deal $ 5 million and Galvin will still go to market , what would that tell us , he wants more or he wants out

It's imperative we make the 8 this year if we want any chance of Galvin signing with us. We all want money but we want success too and Galvin would be no different. We aren't in a position to keep losing games like last week. They are must wins and I think thats why most of us had the shits with the loss. I would be pulling our offer if we don't make the 8 this year and save face. There will be others in the future

Just want to put this out there re: Gould's comments about what the tigers should or shouldn't be offering Galvin.

He has created (in the public eye) a catch-22 for the tigers. He's a sneaky bugger who knows all the tricks is old Gus.

He says publicly "They can't put that pressure on the kid".

So then what? You're trying to influence the tigers to offer less than other clubs will. Other clubs like... Hmmm, I don't know... Canterbury?

Straight from the uncle Nick playbook you offer him $850-900 per season, with a house, car, career after league, all sight unseen....

Sounds like a manipulative ploy to get the tigers to low ball themselves out of the equation to me.

Thankfully though, we are no longer run by the clueless leadership of the past and I feel Richo is a bona fidé sparring partner for slimy Gus who knows all the tricks himself.

I'm more than happy to trust his judgement on this by offering what he knows is fair, and if we have another Stef situation, then so be it.

I've said it before - I think Richardson is close to the best appointment or signing the club has ever had.

Funny how we see things differently. I also believe Gus to be a master manipulator, but that was not what I saw the other night.
If anything he was having a crack at the media and player manager for driving this months before he is even able to negotiate.

Latu is an out and out half. I don't care what number they wear but I prefer him and Luai orchestrating the play, and Galvin and Bula give a double threat on sweep plays, pushing up on either side of the forwards for offloads, and even become better decoys as these two will attract a lot of attention.

So where is Galvin playing ????
 
Latu didn’t look out place playing lock , he looked like he had played there before , this is how we fit all three into the spine , if he is great there just pay him a decent wage and he would be happy

If the deal is true and he doesn't accept it than for mine he can bugger off, we only want players whose heart is with the Tigers, I think even that money is too much he has potential but has a while to go to be a superstar.

Problem is , it may be a lot for an unproven , non rep player to be paid but I feel someone will pay it to take him from us .
Parra will have the money , Roosters always have money , Dogs with slimy Gould , Panthers to partner chin

You have to draw a line in the sand mate, for all we know his manager could use those clubs to inflate his price just as we were used in the past.
We have to have a ceiling figure, we all agree if you pay sky high money to keep him it affects the quality of the squad to get to premiership level.

Who knows what would have happened if Latu had not been injured at the start of last year. Galvin got a rails run to start and has kept his nose just far enough in front so far.
Latu is no worse off than any other upcoming half waiting for injury/suspension to show his wares
Much like at Melbourne hynes and wishart the most recent

and what about the meteoric rise of Braydon Trindall.

You know, not trying to start anything here, but there was a stage last year where I was saying all this stuff and getting bashed from pillar to post on here.
Im glad people are beginning to look at things a bit more objectively rather than subjectively.

I'll openly admit that I was one of the supporters who would have moved heaven and earth to keep him last year, though I never had a go at anyone on the forum for having a different view. The change for me was the Warriors game, I'll preface this by saying he's only a pup and will get much, much better, though for every good thing he did I can remember a set of six where the play broke down, I distinctly remember one set about 25 metres out of the Warriors line Luai gave him the ball, Galvin crabbed right then back left when he couldn't find someone to give it to or any space to run in and just passed the ball back to Luai who looked lost and just took a hit up and got tackled. It's that, the energy he shows Is amazing I love the fact he always wants the ball and isn't afraid to step up and put his hand up, when he does though he's really raw and alot of the time our attack breaks down. Million dollar players don't do that, 750, 800k I can live with while he learns, I just don't want us tied down on a long term deal based on potential again. Latu came on ran straight and scored, I'm not comparing the two, I'm suggesting maybe we give the other guy a chance to prove himself with Luai in the halves before throwing the chequebook at Galvin.

Or could you could argue we are never even in those positions to win without him? This weekend will be very telling anyway without him. Each to their own, but I think he’s been getting better each game without setting up a billion tries

Latu and Galvin will be a better combo. Maybe even latu and luai. But luai and galvin is a disaster. They've had 4 games together and everyone has been below average. Even the wins

Iv already stated if he goes to market if that offer is legit, he's not worth more than a million. Imo Galvin on the bench Latu in the halves with Luai. Don't commit anything to a player not committed to us.

That is a super big and EARLY call

Nothing has changed since round 1 despite fans saying he had a delayed preseason. He is probably the only half in the NRL who has no try assists across 4 games. Maybe Chad Townsend the only other, but his team's been struggling

Galvin imo needs the ball in his hands, he is the energiser bunny, but he just needs to learn to control himself a bit and pick his moments better cause many times he stifles our attack and it breaks down, though he's only a pup and will learn, develop and get better, it's having an impact on Luais game as the combination is still gelling.

Try assist is a skewed stat .. if you look at it realistically he’s had a hand in about 4-5 tries I’d say. Just not the last pass
