OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I think is is much more suble than that. We ofter hear the phrase they need to dig deep into the line before whatever - what they mean is engage the line. The NRL definition is pretty poor:

Line Engaged – Player has engaged the defensive line or run to a dead end before passing or kicking

How to you measure that? I thing the line is “engaged” when the ball carrier runs close enough to the defensive line that defenders are forced to make a decision; that be commit to stopping them either by setting their feet, changing their line, or initiating a tackle.

If they kick or get the ball away before they are belted they have engaged the line and in doing so created an opportunity. I think creating an opportunity is the key!

Probably the telling indicator would be if the ball playing locks lead the stat. It would be good if they had a live stat count that can be viewed in play. So that you know what part of the game that stat occured.

On Kenty's podcast he mentioned someone high up at the West's Tigers told him Galvin's gone, won't be signing with Tigers???

I have always thought this was the outcome.
Otherwise, he would have taken the extension and be playing for way more money this year and next. If that's the case why continue to develop him when we have other options who are committed. Latu is out injured unfortunately but I would move AD into the halves with Laui in the meantime.
That will also free up like 1 million dollars for extension for AD and quality centre

My only concern is if we make an offer of say 5 years x $ 1 million and he goes to market I’m not sure why
He knows his coach and the rest of the coaching staff
$ 5 million deal over 5 years is solid security , and if he is as good after 5 years his age would bring him another huge contract .probably 5 more years on 1.5 million .
There is talk on 360 by one of those knobs that he wants to be coached by an elite coach , if that’s the case , he is only going if Bennett , Bellamy , Cleary , come knocking .
We also don’t want to loose Latu while Galvin stuffs us around , Latu on $ 500 k in reserves don’t make sense

Melbourne he won't replace Hughes or Munster.
Penrith he doesn't replace Cleary, they invested in talagi and have alot of faith in cole.
Maybe Souths but I don't see that happening.
So it's great to want something, to get it is a different thing.

Lol "high up at the tigers". There's still people trying to cause drama behind the scenes at the club, so I'd take this with a grain of salt.

The indicator he is going will be the day Benji drops Galvin to the bench or KOE. Benji gets his advice from Bennet and he dropped Hodges the moment he was leaving for the roosters. I think we'd make him play a season of KOE if he signs elsewhere and I'd support it 💯.

Then again, if he resigns, I'll back him till the cows come home.
 
We do have the luxury if Galvin say no to our offer and does sign for another club to play him in reserve grade and not at a huge price , if he kicks stones , reserve grade bench , simple , we will need answers soon so we can plan for 26 while we head for the finals in 25 , we have Latu and Bud next year at this point , Bud may come back after a season under Bennett going great , if south’s want him he will be basic full freight or Bud takes a hair cut on wages , simple ,
 
Sullivan does not want to come back and has asked about getting out of the contract. Soths suit him down to the ground.

We should not have gone in for him he was a bad buy for us especially in the system currently favored by Benji.

Bud is the wild card in our roster moving ahead

I don’t think anyone knows what’s happening. I do know Kent doesn’t have a job with the major sports news businesses and needs the podcast to rate highly with he is to have a voice in NRL media. He’ll say what ever is going to get the engagement going

This is why Richo needs to table an offer asap, so we know where we stand, give him a 4 week deadline. If he says he's not ready to sign, no prob, Latu's ready to play 5/8. Bye bye. Don't waste 1 more second helping to develop a player for another club. Then work out a strategy of no longer working with Isaac Moses, Roosters, Penrith and theres another club I can't recall atm who won't deal with him, I mean blacklist any company he's associated with. All he has ever done is use us to make him money.

Love all these stats they come up with. Many years ago I did the stats for Gordon Bray’s Rugby calls. He would put me on the spot and ask me things like time In possession and I would just pluck a number out of the sky. I guess it’s tad more sophisticated now. Anyway it was a good little number for a few years

A family friend used to count tackles for the Magpies in the 80’s. We used to joke about “who’s counting the misses, he’d be busy”
