OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[RonDingo]

If a player isn't committed to the Club and his team mates and fans then drop him to reserves immediately, no detailed explanation is needed.
That includes no more training with the first grade squad whatsoever and no chance of returning to first grade even with injuries.
To see the positive character of players such as Adam Douhie and the fight he continually shows to play in this team in the face of adversity or the way Pole committed when he could have left for greener pastures is the type of character a club and coach must prioritise.

THen we are just pushovers

At what point do we dig our heels in and have a backbone?

Taking a player ina position of need is fine , it’s not push over it’s negotiating, , I would take a solid back row player for him as trade as it would be on our terms EG
Kai Pierce Paul. Let’s say he on $ 500. , Galvin on $ 250 , we take him give them Gal,but they kick in 100 k to do the deal we get a player in position form$ 150 k , we are in front as Galvin remember doesn’t want to be hear the other player does.

I can guarantee you his team mates don't think the same, they understand it

You've never left a job for more money or a potential of a higher position? It's just business.

But yes, you can think whatever you like of him lol

His teammates opinion doesn’t concern me. I’m not interested in their social life, I’m here to support a team.

My personal life is irrelevant and so is your position. He’s not leaving for financial reasons. If he was I’d be more sympathetic. According to the statement he wasn’t interested in negotiating with us.

Yeah cheers champ. Appreciate your green light to have an opinion.

Benji will keep picking Galvin if form warrants it, prior to this he was almost undroppable because of his contract situation and the way its played out.
For me we keep picking him and if his form drops and Latu is playing well and injury free you give him all the opportunities we gave Galvin. I thought it was a pretty big statement from Benji a couple of weeks ago saying he needed to find a spot for Latu in the 17 he's too good for ressies.
I have a suspicion that all the attention on Galvin has a few noses out of joint the media always ask Luai about Galvin i seem to think his answers are mostly flat batted back. Maybe he does prefer to have Latu as his partner he see them both at training.
Either way im glad this is done as good as he's been he's been nothing but trouble his head is too big.

You're so bitter! I'm literally just trying to have conversation

Very emotionally invested. Maybe take a break buddy, seems like you could use it.

 

[Lestronge]

Serious question . If Galvin gets dropped , like he gets full Hodges treatment , doesn’t that torpedo his value . Especially if Latu or even AD come in and we continue rolling on the way we’ve been going .
This could get ugly

No, your starting position is “you don’t understand how things work”. If you want to talk fine, I can do without the condescension.

Not what I said, but you're too upset to realise. All good mate 👍🏻 go tigers

 

[Lestronge]

If the show goes on- we win games, and nobody makes a thing of it- there will be noise.

But not as much as dropping him to KOE & not getting results.

I think more than 50% of the population will understand players moving on. If the club can show backbone here & carry on performing professionally- winning will cure all.

What we need is for Latu to out play Galvin.

I’m not sure about that . It’s pretty risky as a strategy form his management . Like if AD comes in hypothetically and we keep winning . Or if Latu comes back and we keep winning . What happens if the attack clicks under either if we drop him .
Surely the narrative around lachie will be all flash , no results . It’s not a long bow to draw to reference how much we shat the bed when Latu got injured last week . And it was the Lachie Galvin show .
I will say this . If i was Benji. I’d literally say to the halves room , best man wins the 6. Whereas Lachie would have had time and patience applied and gotten some leeway for poor results , there’s absolutely zero reason you afford that to him now Z if he’s the best man . Cool , but if he’s not … then he gets dropped .

 

[philgood]

Please remember that Galvin (and or his management) requested a release 3 times last year. Imagine requesting a release after the club gave you a 1st grade debut at 18 years of age.

We know Isaac Moses is a low human, but you dont have to be a genius to figure out Galvin and his family are just the same. They are unappreciative, ungrateful humans and have treated the club, Benji and us fans like shit.

Disgraceful. Ill be boooing the ungrateful, entitled little princess at every opportunity on easter Monday!

Yoss is one of the most level headed posters in the entire history of the forum. Picking the wrong fight here.

 

[Telltails]

I doubt this will help Galvins form. No mistakes will be forgiven anymore.

 

[Yossarian]

It’s your attitude. Everything is preceded by a “you’re too angry/upset/ignorant”. Stick to the topic and lose the character assessments.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He’s going to be public enemy number one for the rest of this season. And next….If he’s around.

 

[Kelce68]

It has been nice that the club hasn't been in the headlines this season. Well, that's over. Hope this doesn't derail our season, just as things were starting to look up. Big challenge ahead for Benji.

I agree.

But this very action will keep us out of the Galvin circus now. Waiting until Nov 1 wouldve dragged the whole saga out all season.

 

[magpiesteve]

I am gutted our new bright dawn is starting to dim & why??? . Wests should like Easts should not negotiate with Moses he is bad news & the more clubs that refuse to deal with him the quicker we get him out of our game. As others have said lets move on start Latu with Galvin off the bench.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Ah, I gotta say it again - every time I re-read that statement I'm even more impressed

And as some have already mentioned, this was always going to be the outcome.

Just hope WT stick to their guns when Galvin askes for an early release; or kicks stones!
Could be a great exchange chip for Tigers for 2026?
And Large left because of the Galvin contract? Galvin must have had a little smile hidden at the time.

 

[Yossarian]

I wonder if the ARU have an interest. His style of play would probably go well in Union.

 

[Don Kershane]

Manly has Moses as their Svengali. Coincidence that DCE was squeezed out? I think not. Working behind the scenes with their coach and management but DCE too smart and got the jump on them.

 

[clontarfkid]

There is no way Gus will pay Galvin close to 2 million a year

He will be lucky to get 1 million at the dogs.

No one is gonna pay him anywhere near 2mill!
He mite find were the only one prepared to pay him 1mill...tho Gus and Nick will go close...and eels maybe more
