OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Why am I even defending Galvin?

I've been bagged for wanting to move him into the 2nd row by so many on here... 😀

I've always preferred Latu as a player.

I just want Latu to EARN his way in. Galvin's contract situation SHOULDN'T be why Latu is playing.

To be fair did Galvin earn his way in?
He was only called up because Latu was injured.

I forget who the storm winger was, it was on one of the shows the other week and apparently he was the worst trainer and didn't show much in reserve grade. But they were riddled with injuries and desperate, so they called him up to play first grade expecting the worst. He got his crack in First Grade and became one of their best wingers. The name completely escapes me, might have been a Fijian winger?

Every game Latu has played first grade he has been solid.

I recall the game at LO against manly and his first touch of the ball scored a try... again got injured that game...

But in the opportunity he has had, he's been great.

What else do you want from him?

Galvin coming from SG ball surely isn't "earning it" is it?

Fans happy to try and force out average players, but any good player who wants to leave on their own is a traitor, a prick, and should be dropped to reserve grade!

As long as he performs well and doesn't rank games, can't be too mad at him.

Personally I think a lot of this is coming from his manager and his dad. Lachie doesn't seem switched on enough to have this all figured out for himself to be honest

Yeah, that's just the way it is.
I will be a tigers fan for life, so I can label him whatever I want.
 
However you look at it, if he fills out he is a back-rower in the future. He still hasn't shown he is an elite 6, so a Million a season was about spot on, with contract changes for significant improvement. The smokey for me will be Penrith signing him. Richardson did the right thing

I wonder if he just doesn't rate benji as a coach?

if he doesn't he is going to be forced to play a much more structured game which takes away from his strengths.

he wouldn't go to the storm and get away with some of the sh1t he does with us. but it also takes away his flair and decreases his value.

the more this plays out if someone wants to pay him $1.5 million or more so be it, he isn't worth that much. We can thank the knights and dylan brown for this lol

That could be the elephant in the room.
A few have left under contract and are all greedy. But maybe there is a reason.
I have doubts and only watch the games

We were getting lapped under Madge, and he's doing okay now. That suggests it's the players, not the coach.

The real test will be teams chucking a million at him for 2027 when he will be getting paid maybe 400k or so for 2 years.

If he chucks a Ryan Matterson or Mitch Moses, the NRL needs to take the strictest of actions. I don't know what they can do, but I can't fathom tanking or wanting "out" of the contract for more money.

A player taking up a chunk of cap who tanks is a problem for the club and generally best to be rid of. A player on only average $, where we have decent backup, who tanks is an opportunity to be made an example of. KOE, RMC. He’s good backup up for minimal investment so keep him for 2026. Unless a club that signs him has a trade too good to refuse.

I guess if people are planning to boo the young fella for taking more money elsewhere, they will also be booing the blokes who joined our club for more money too?

Who said he's going to get more money? If he gets demoted and deprioritised, he won't even be worth that much.

And like every other player, he's always potentially only one game away from a terrible injury and retirement.
