OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Charred]

Opened the forum at 2pm today after working and saw the Galvin thread had like 18 unread pages since 8:30 this morning and was confused why there was so much talk. Well, I now know.

A disappointing development that a player who is from the local area, got given a chance by the Magpies after Parra saw no future for him and then debuted in the NRL at 18 years old straight from SG Ball and has been a mainstay for all of last season decides "nah frick youse". Not only that but to the biggest contract the club has ever offered a junior is just absolutely ridiculous. Galvin would probably only be playing Flegg with a bit of Cup at any other club to be honest, so it's pretty insulting for a player to do something like this. Take Pole for example. Had offers from Storm, was a Storm junior, brother in the system, lots of mates (Faalago, Stefano), but he takes the deal with us and it comes out in a news article that he wanted to repay the club for having faith in him. Now that is a great attitude and if Pole theoretically leaves the club in the future, as it stands I'd never wish him a bad game (except against us).

To be honest, I was almost wanting Galvin to go to market so that we didn't have to choose between Galvin and Latu, because it would be frustrating if we signed Galvin long-term and lost Latu but he ended up being the better player. At least this way the choice was taken out of our hands and we still leave with a back up who is probably just as good.

In terms of Galvin's immediate future, I think we need to keep him at the club until his contract runs out. From what I know he's on like 350k next year which is pretty cheap overall and releasing him is just going to make other teams better. As for where he plays, I don't think putting him in Cup or whatever out of spite is necessarily the best option. At the end of the day we want to win and if his form warrants selection in our first grade team then he needs to be there, although I agree that we should definitely prioritize Latu as he is our long-term option in the halves.

Overall, I think the club is in a very strong position to deal with this and I see it as a repeat of the Utoikamanu situation. Galvin was offered big money (overs) to stay, but he refused it. We now have $1 million extra in addition to Klemmer, Olam, 1/2 Bateman and 1/2 Sullivan's money to now look elsewhere to bolster our forwards depth, look at potentially adding another centre (although, AD, To'a been very strong this year) and most importantly upgrading and extending from within most likely looking at TDS, AD (halves backup), Bula etc.

As for where he ends up, or the clubs who enter the race here is my shortlist and reasons why and it's somewhat ordered by who I think is strongest to weakest.
Panthers - They are seriously struggling without Luai. Blaize Talagi is terrible, Cole isn't much better.
Parra - Moses link, Parra fan growing up. Major downside though being Eels currently suck.
Dolphins - They want DCE, but if they don't get him having a long-term halves pairing of Galvin/Katoa could be pretty dangerous.
Dogs - Sexton and Burton are ok, but Gus has a lot of praise for Galvin although this could be a tactical move to create a market frenzy and screw over someone elses cap.
Dragons - They are linked to almost every player on the market. Ilias and Flanagan is not great, although Atkinson incoming.

Manly and Roosters already have said they won't be entering the race I'm pretty sure, although there is always still a chance they change their mind.

 

[tigerslad]

No to DCE for me. Either stick by Latu or go out and look for a permanent solution elsewhere. Latu next year with Bud, Doueihi, etc as back ups for me. Otherwise, a return to Sydney for Katoa would be good. We have the money to entice him I would assume given the allocated Galvin money plus Olam/Klemmer/etc

 

[TieDye]

Doueihi is playing centre and Latu can't get through 80 minutes. Right now Galvin is the best choice

If Latu can find some good form and deserves the spot over Galvin, so be it. In fact, I really hope that happens

Naden on the sting for Skelly, which likely means when he’s back: Naden to left centre and Doueihi to 6, so we can and absolutely should drop Galvin if his form continues to wane or if he isn’t putting in. Agree with you though that this isn’t the weekend.

 

[tigerslad]

No to DCE for me. Either stick by Latu or go out and look for a permanent solution elsewhere. Latu next year with Bud, Doueihi, etc as back ups for me. Otherwise, a return to Sydney for Katoa would be good.

Also just in the short term. I'd be keeping Galvin for the two years we have him on low coin at second row unless a beneficial swap pops up. That is if he keeps putting in for us and his form warrants a position in the 17.

6. Latu
7. Luai
12. Galvin

No faith in Benji Marshall’s coaching: The reason Galvin walked away from Tigers


The narrative will paint Lachlan Galvin out to be greedy, but this was never about money.

With the Wests Tigers on a seemingly upward trajectory, coach Benji Marshall’s rebuild this week took a huge knock when the game’s brightest young player decided to test his value on the open market.

The simple truth is Galvin has no faith in his coach’s ability. In discussions with the club over the past week, the boom five-eighth’s camp told Wests Tigers powerbrokers Galvin didn’t believe he would develop to become the player he wanted to be under Marshall’s coaching.

Galvin’s representatives didn’t even want the Tigers to table an offer, such was their desire to look elsewhere from November 1.

Sources with knowledge of the situation, talking on the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of discussions, told the Herald that Galvin believed there was a ceiling on how far he could develop at the club, especially given Marshall’s tendency to appoint former Tigers teammates as assistant coaches.

That, combined with the genuine dislike between Marshall and Galvin’s agent Isaac Moses, meant the situation was always destined to end in tears.

It’s why for the past 18 months, despite carefully worded denials from all involved, Galvin has been looking for the exit door.

On Monday – following this masthead’s revelations that Galvin had knocked back the club’s best endeavours to try and keep him on what would have been a six-year upgrade and extension worth in close to $5.5 million – it all came to a head.


The issue had been bubbling away in the background in the lead-up to Sunday’s victory over Newcastle, prompting Marshall to confront his young five-eighth and call him into his office to discuss his future last week.

Marshall had been made aware that Galvin wasn’t willing to extend his contract with the club, and he wanted to know why the young prodigy didn’t want to be around.

Galvin told his coach he didn’t necessarily want to leave, but was keen to test the market and see which clubs came knocking from November 1.

After making one last failed attempt to present an offer to Moses, the Tigers released a sternly worded statement on Monday shortly after the new-look board gathered for its monthly meeting.


It was an attempt to re-establish control of a situation by removing the Tigers from a race they knew they were no longer in, avoiding the prospect of being used as pawns in a bidding war to increase Moses’ asking price in negotiations with rival clubs.

“We would like to announce that Lachlan Galvin will not be with the club beyond the 2026 season,” the statement said.

“Despite the club having the largest contract offer for a junior in the history of the club on the table, Lachlan and his management have decided his future lies elsewhere and were not willing to review the offer.

“It should be noted that the club has NO intention of releasing Lachlan from his contract, and he has not requested this. Obviously, there will be a lot of speculation around this release, but we will make no further comment. The club is focused on winning as many games as possible during Lachlan’s tenure and beyond. The club is disappointed, but we move on.”

Some have suggested the Tigers were trying to spin the narrative to suggest the teenage playmaker was being unreasonable and that the club had done everything in its power to keep him.


Either way, it raises the question as to what the Tigers do next when it comes to Galvin and how this impacts on the team.

Within hours of the announcement that Galvin was leaving, Tigers prop Fonua Pole had already liked a post on a Wests Tigers supporter’s Instagram page taking a shot at the five-eighth for turning his back on the club.



“Unf---ingbelievable. We give you a shot at first grade and hand you the keys to the franchise with every tool possible around you to succeed cya mate,” said the Instagram post that Pole liked.

“Surely there’s no need to keep him around? Throw Doueihi or Bird at 6 until Latu returns if we’re serious about building and moving forward as a club.”


Some Tigers players have grown concerned at a perceived sense of entitlement from Galvin.

There is a view internally that Galvin is wary of Marshall’s close relationship with new recruit Jarome Luai.

While Galvin and Luai are civil, they don’t share a close bond and Galvin is understood to have been frustrated by the impact of being asked to play second fiddle to the four-time premiership-winning playmaker.

Luai also has a high opinion of back-up five-eighth Latu Fainu, who is currently unavailable after undergoing surgery on his thumb last week.

The Tigers have a decision to make: do they persist with Galvin or look to the future by ushering Fainu back into the side when he’s fit? Jack Bird and Adam Doueihi are also among potential five-eighth options at Marshall’s disposal.


CEO Shane Richardson and Marshall may look to make an example out of Galvin and relegate him back to reserve grade. Galvin’s contract for the next two years is worth $250,000-$350,000 and it wouldn’t hurt the club on the salary cap if he wasn’t playing regular NRL.

Richardson has regularly spoken about wanting players who are in for the crocodile roll – an analogy he uses in relation to his desire to have players who are committed to the cause.


Former player John Bateman, who this year left the club acrimoniously, has since mocked Richardson’s crocodile roll analogy on social media on multiple occasions.

Richardson has been desperate to regain the upper hand in negotiation battles with agents since starting at the club. He refused to give teenage sensation Onitoni Large a “Galvin clause” in contract negotiations last year that would have given him the opportunity to become a free agent if Galvin extended.


Richardson’s refusal to be dictated to by managers saw Large walk out on the club and join Manly – a move that could come back to bite the Tigers following revelations of Galvin’s exit.

It places the club in a potentially precarious position, with Luai also having an option in his favour that will make him a free agent on November 1 in the unlikely event he decides not to trigger the clause.

Galvin’s seed of uncertainty with the Wests Tigers dates back to his junior days at the club, when he was often used as a back-rower despite his belief he best belonged in a No.6 jersey.

Those doubts about the club only intensified in the summer of 2023, when the Tigers signed Latu Fainu, Jayden Sullivan and Jarome Luai on long and lucrative deals in a move that was interpreted as a lack of faith in Galvin.


It led to several requests for a release, all of which were rejected, leading into the 2024 season. It brought the issue to the surface and the outcome saw Galvin handed the No.6 jersey for the Tigers’ first game of the 2024 season.

His elevation into first grade has captured the attention of the game’s most respected figures, none more so than Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould.

“I’m excited to watch Lachlan Galvin,” he said on Wide World of Sports’ Six Tackles with Gus earlier in the year.

“I’m obsessed with him. I love watching him play... I’m excited to see how he goes with Jarome Luai at the West Tigers. I think in the future, whoever has Lachlan Galvin in their side will be winning premierships.


“I’m not even worried about putting wraps on the kid because he is probably the most exciting young playmaker I’ve seen coming through in a long time.”

The sub-plot to this is the fact Gould recently ended his decade-long feud with Moses, agreeing to meet with the influential agent.

Galvin has strong ties to the Bulldogs through assistant coach Luke Vella, who was Galvin’s coach as a junior at Westfield Sports High School.

The Bulldogs have been monitoring the Galvin situation for some time and are expected to be in the conversation. So, too, Parramatta, where Galvin played junior representative football before being let go by the club.

An opening at five-eighth with Dylan Brown to depart for Newcastle at season’s end has Parramatta fans excited, especially given Moses’ client and cousin is Eels halfback Mitchell Moses.


It would make sense for the Roosters to make a play, but chairman Nick Politis is privately refusing to ever speak with Isaac Moses after he was blindsided by Joseph Suaalii’s defection to rugby union last year.

Manly have an opening and a link into Moses through another one of his clients Anthony Seibold, but Galvin may be a stretch in their salary cap – even without Daly Cherry-Evans.

That’s a problem for November 1. For now, the Tigers have been left to pick up the pieces as history repeats itself. Another high-profile Moses client walking out on the club over concerns about coaching, as was the case when James Tedesco, Aaron Woods and Mitchell Moses left in 2017. Sound familiar?

This is probably just a journalist fantasy piece.

However, I wouldn't put it past Galvin to be making up some nonsense excuses to justify his own greed & ego. Shift the negativity of himself and/or his team.

This sort of thing is annoying, just the media trying to get some clicks, where is the source or evidence. This crap is detrimental for the club.

If it's true come and say it, whoever it is.

He also has Luai, to help him.

However, if it's true, good riddance Lachie.

 

[TieDye]

Phil Gould and Ciraldo recruitment has been great the bulldogs.

He's brought in players that are more workers than flashy. Players like Curran, Mann, Salmon, Mahoney and the like.... with some strike in Burton, Critta & Xerri.

It's actually been amazing to see.
They've all bought into what they're trying to build.

We are in a similar state and we really need our players to believe. That's why it's so disappointing to see this play out with Galvin.

He is a pick-me, me first type and isn't about driving the standards. He's out for himself. Unlucky to the club that lands him, because he's shown nothing admirable at all. We've given him everything and he thinks he can do better.

I'm in two minds.
I'm happy we've got our answer and we're losing this type of person.
I'm also cut, because I know he will likely go onto have a decent career somewhere.

Ah well.

Mate, don’t stress. Let the big dogs hunt (Richo) !

This is the narrative that Moses has been feeding the media for over 12 months - THAT is the source!!

 

[SwervinMervin]

First reactions aside, and while it might be easy for some to pile on Galvin - I think it's a very sad situation controlled by his grubby manager and grubby father.

I really do believe he loves the club and his teammates. Hes just been advised otherwise.

He’s not 16, he’s a young man who should be making his own decisions. You have to assume it’s what he wants as well.

Manly and Roosters already have said they won't be entering the race I'm pretty sure, although there is always still a chance they change their mind.

You can rule out Dolphins - Lachlan found it hard enough doing two nights on camp away from Mummy wiping his arse!

Dragons are also zero chance.

It will be down to Eels, Panthers, Dogs, Eagles or Roosters - and talks will have been well underway behind the scenes because there is in actuality zero policing of anti-tampering rules!!

 

[crazycat]

No to DCE for me. Either stick by Latu or go out and look for a permanent solution elsewhere. Latu next year with Bud, Doueihi, etc as back ups for me. Otherwise, a return to Sydney for Katoa would be good. We have the money to entice him I would assume given the allocated Galvin money plus Olam/Klemmer/etc

DCE is the kind of player, you make room for and say YES... Likewise Adam Reynolds...

Providing it doesn't cost you your stars.

Luai seems to be here for the long run. I would love to play DCE 1 year here with Luai, then let Luai + Latu form.

We need to keep who is workign for us at the moment. Luai is working for us. If he is willing to partner up with Reynolds (more possible) or DCE, DO IT. The knowledge either player would bring would be enormous.

We can then hunt the junior league talent.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

think we can beat parramatta with 7. luai 6. AD
drop galvin

 

[Lestronge]

This is probably just a journalist fantasy piece.

However, I wouldn't put it past Galvin to be making up some nonsense excuses to justify his own greed & ego. Shift the negativity of himself and/or his team.

Moses is clearly his anonymous source hahaha why even bother saying that ? The club didn’t tell you Chammas , Richo thinks you’re a F-wit . Almost as much as Gus does ( watch Gus sit next to him on that panel show , stares holes through Chammas haha ) .
It’s clearly bullshit , when says he doesn’t rate Marshall as a coach BEFORE he even debuted . Like wtf ….. and then just almost in passing Chammas says the real thing , that Benji also thinks Moses can join his mate Chammas on F-wit island ! .
And LOL a 19 year old is upset that a 4 time premiership winner has more favour with his 20 year playing career , former best player in the world , premiership winning coach ….. this is just dribble

 

[Chunk]

This is the narrative that Moses has been feeding the media for over 12 months - THAT is the source!!

Well why does Chammas have to hide behind that? Moses isn't the fricken KGB

 

[barnsta]

Interesting Pole liked the post, wonder if Galvin now on the outer with the playing group

 

[Don Kershane]

Phil Gould has always had an eye out for young schoolboy athletes . Not that there is anything wrong with that!

 

[crazycat]

You can rule out Dolphins - Lachlan found it hard enough doing two nights on camp away from Mummy wiping his arse!

Dragons are also zero chance.

It will be down to Eels, Panthers, Dogs or Roosters - and talks will have been well underway behind the scenes because there is in actuality zero policing of anti-tampering rules!!

100% agreed.

Likely not the Roosters, as Nick won't deal with Issac... but who knows, he still has Teddy on the books...

It's Eels or Dogs. Panthers will need a foil for Cleary and I don't think they are going to fork out millions for that with the juniors in their system.

Most likely Eels. Moses + he is a Parra junior. Which also explains why Brown left which also explains the world of Moses related hurt that club will experience in 2 years time!

 

[stephen]

Not sure enough people are giving Richardson the credit he deserves

We are not the same club we put up as examples of how Wests Tigers do things.

Totally new club under Shane Richardson.

Moses is about to find out. Well he has already today.

Yep. No longer the doormat of the NRL.

 

[Charred]

I was mainly talking about the clubs that would be interested, not would get necessarily. I think Panthers, Eels are the strongest due to their cap position and need for a 5/8, but wouldn't count out the other clubs you mentioned.

 

[mtd#2]

Because he's our best 5/8 right now, and the club and coaches first, and most important objective, is to win games of footy

How about the impact that Galvin has on the rest of the team?
You can be a good player and toxic at the same time.
For his great plays, there are some horrible ones. The repeat set we get attacking the knights line and he tries to throw a miracle pass on zero tackle, for one... He could win or lose us games. He almost lost his schoolboy team the comp 2 years ago with a stupid play. He's still a rookie.
We have come too far to rebuild the culture at the club to develop and enable the behaviour of a self entitled little brat.
