OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I don’t like commenting on this, but I know some people who know some people and earlier in the year Lachie was genuinely happy about the club and its direction.
My word is that it’s changed recently, and maybe it has something to do with the click of Luai, May, Turuva etc and their relationship with Benji.
He was coached by Luke Vella at Westfields and my guess is he’ll end up at Bulldogs where Vella is assistant now. It’s sad because I think he’s a young kid with a lot of ambition, who’s potentially misreading some situations. He was given the keys last year and told to play, now he’s being reigned in by Luai and others and he’s not liking it.
The word is also that Benji is a great coach, as is Hodgo. Haven’t heard specifically about Morris but he’s apparently a great guy.

Genuinely not trying to sound like a big shot. Just have some connections that know a little more about what’s going on.

It’s an unfortunate situation that hasn’t been handled well - Benji has been treated terribly and the club including players aren’t happy. Expect Richo to get a big pound of flesh from someone for him.

It’s all over now. Who gives shit about the he said she said stuff.

Kid can play but lacks speed at best imo he becomes a 13. He ain’t no filter, filter had strength and pace. Haven’t seen Galvin break a tackle. I said earlier he reminded me of Fulton but after watching Galvin this season I think Fulton was faster.

The one thing I truely like about Galvin is his tenacity and desire to get to the play. I wish Bula had a bit of that.

The proof is in the pudding . He’s far more focused on his highlight reel than winning footy games . And that’s been apparent for a while now . When luai plays we win . I’d be shutting the f up , and realising .
I once coached u7s and i started to teach the kids how to offload and pass the ball . Nothing major . Just how to use their teammates in space during a game . Mainly because the guys are just giving it to 2 or 3 kids all game , they were demanding it to be honest , and most kids weren’t getting a real go . The idea was when you pass the ball to each other you score together and tries become your tries as you scored it together . Not “my” try.
The kids loved it . A lot of laughing and giggling during games . They dropped the ball a bit . Meh! They were having a lot of fun . And we were winning .
After a couple of games one of the dad of the kid who scored all the tries comes up to me , I think we lost a game for once , and he’s pissed off asking why I teach the kids offloading and playing footy . I tell him , it’s more fun , it looks amazing , and every time score there’s 3 or 4 kids running behind him scoring the try with them .
He says . You give the ball to my son , we score every time . We win . Thats the gameplan . I laughed at him and walked away . I’m reminded of this , whenever people around me talk about stage parents.
 
Sounds like Romey & Benji are incredibly tight.
Surely they've discussed halves pairing in the past, for the future.

Romey won't be upset, working with Latu, from what we've heard.

Bulldogs, still doesn't make sense.
They move Burton?
Or play Galvin at 7?

That's not quite the dynamic halves pairing.
Both more so, running players, not organisational halves.

Move Burton to centre?
Idk...
Seems all very odd.
Gus gets him over the line imo. Hes cold and would have no issues binning burton or sexton. Galvin would also fit the effort player mould Ciraldo looks for.

Gus has been talking up Galvin a lot. Why? Perhaps to take pressure off luai a player he likes. Or perhaps to get other clubs to overpay

If they want Galvin early, request Critta and he can come and play with his homies at the Tiges. Or, we say we want Burton.

Burton can swap with Douhei between centre and 5/8.

Who is managing Makasini? Better not be that prick Moses.
 
Nah he wasn’t there . I had a good look like 5 times .
I actually think the Benji attack criticism in the presser was aimed at Lachlan as well . Because luai was smiling when he said it .
I think your clutching there, I just watched it


The way Benji and Luai spoke about the spine, there was no suggestion there was an issue with Galvin or that he wasn't our future. Maybe Richo kept everything from Benji until after the game?

Watch when he talks about the attack . He says the attack was average . And luai giggles . It seemed like an in joke to me .
 
I think all parties are at fault and the RLPA at most fault .
Bring back June 30 deadline and we will see less of this shit and less of these stupid long term contracts

Tigers at fault here aswell , he has almost 2 full seasons on his contract left and they are putting together a contract for after , if he says no like he has done everyone is now in a no win situation with animosity.

Interesting though so many act like Richo is god , and at the same time say Galvin is meh but Richo is the one offering $1m a year for 5 years.

So it’s come out we offered him $6m.
5 years plus upgrades to this and next season.
The manager and Galvin’s dad wouldn’t return calls or messages, they also said don’t come back with another offer as Galvin won’t sign.

This isn’t on Richo, it fully on Galvin cohort.

Add in Galvin 3 release requests last season.

Galvin is in for a very rude shock for what will come next I feel.
