OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Moses has played this perfectly. He is forcing Galvin to get out of the club one way or another before his contract ends. Be it unattainable behavior, mental health or other means.

Moses knows how to get the outcome he wants

there must be a reason he keeps getting talented players young and old wanting to use his services … I can’t recall how often he doesn’t get his way

Slightly different angle now. We've all put the boot in, and deservedly so.

I'm just going to suggest that Benji might STILL be doing the absolute best thing for Galvin in playing him in KOE now.

Given the public backlash to what has happened- if he lined up for ANY club next week in 1st grade, the absolute scrutiny on him would be "Luke Brooks at the Tigers" level.

We all know he is going to get paid.

It MIGHT be prior to the start of next season. If I was a player manager of scruples, I would suggest to Galvin (and his dad apparently)that the best course is to play out your Tigers contract in the darkness of KOE, learn what you can- don't cause issues & let the media cool on him.

That way- in 2027, the narrative won't be on how he has a lot to live up to, but more a redemption arc of fallen player rising again.

A year and a half away from the camera would make most people either forget, forgive or just stop caring. And would remove a bit of the pressure.

If he steps into another top 17 squad between now & the start of next season- he CANNOT struggle or he is going to be pilloried.

His management team have done him absolutely no favours here. For an incomplete player- his next outing has to be Joey Johns level or he's not outrunning this stigma.

You're exactly right.

This has backfired dramatically on him (and his side in this), and the best thing he can do is go off-grid for a bit.

In 2025 (where the news cycle is akin to a blurred instagram feed) things are quickly forgotten as attention is incessantly shoved towards the next shiny thing.

In a year's time he can resurface and (if needed) give another superficial spiel of contrition and how he has grown, blah blah blah....

We won't forget - or care about his perfunctory apologies for that matter - but I think the only form of damage control they have available now is time and silence.

How I see the Richo playbook ...

1 - Richo sits down with leadership group today to mentor them on keeping their emotions in check and how to now handle this situation for them to develop as leaders.

2 - Part of this is for the leadership group to support Galvin as a team mate and help him win some respect back from the entire team.

3 - At this stage Galvin is here for another 18 months, he can continue to be an important part of the squad.

4 - Show we're a club that can rise above any situation

They went after Benji’s ego and got a nibble.

I have a different take. The backlash was the planned outcome to get him out of the club sooner. We just have to play it cool and “support” Galvin the best we can…

After seeing social media it’s safe to say no one is buying the bullshit from the Galvin camp. As long as turuva and the crew stop with the public humiliation I think it'll stay that way... It was ok from Luai... But turuvas was to blatant and I am pretty sure he came here for money too lol

To be fair to Turuva he did come here for more money but he also did win two premierships and didn’t bag the coach on the way out 😂.

I think you’re right though. Pull back a bit and make sure we win the media battle.

TBH I loved it from Turuva and Luai because it shows how much they care about the team and the club. I’ve been dying for players to care about the jersey this much.

Well said BAGNF05
How did the Bulldogs and Gus go in looking after Joseph Topine’s welfare ?
They couldn’t wait for a reason to get rid of Addo-Carr, how was his welfare ?
As you mentioned, he will have no problem shafting Toby Sexton if he can land Galvin, he’s a manipulative grub.

If the RLPA are talking to the Wests Tigers, they better have a stern word with Isaac Moses & Dad Galvin too. Hypocritical if they don't. I hope Brent Read & Riccio follow that up!

Good point. Same play as all the rest before him (Moses, Aloiai, Matterson).

What I don't understand is how when a player throws a tantrum and forces his way out of his contract any other club is happy to have them?!

Why do anything for the little shit , he has done nothing to support OUR team , what he has tried to do is derail our season with a bloody disgraceful attack on benji , the bloke u gave him his start and had done nothing more than support him . Play the the little shit in Ron Massey cup , well away from the blokes he crapped on , that way he can’t complain, because the club doesn’t have to play him in any grade

I personally don't think either were fine.

I understand what both were trying to do. They were probably trying to show that team comes first, that they back Benji and the club. You don't have to put down a 19 year old to do that.

In the next presser, simply come out and say, we love Benji and that we believe he is getting the best out of us. Leave Galvin out of it. Don't put down someone to show support to someone else.

Where did Luai mention Galvin in his post?

The RLPA have joined Canterbury boss Phil Gould in raising concern for Lachlan Galvin’s mental health and welfare as the fallout from his decision to shut down contract talks with Wests Tigers has intensified.

The players’ union is set to hold talks on Wednesday about the Tigers’ handling of the 19-year-old’s decision to leave the club at the end of next season, which has prompted senior players to front coach Benji Marshall and demand that he be dropped for Monday’s game against Parramatta at CommBank Stadium.

It prompted social media responses from Tigers captain Jarome Luai and winger Sunia Turuva which stoked the drama amid reports the playing group had turned on the young half.

There’s since been a shift within the playing group, with members of the team now recognising the backlash has gone too far, and there’s a responsibility to protect the teenager from a potentially serious situation. (DT)

Phil Gould?? FFS mind your business

Read somewhere that the club are looking to remove Luai’s clauses. Not the worst play they could make atm given how he’s made it clear the last couple days how he feels about the Galvin situation.

So it’s the club asking this ? Assuming this will involve further payment … ? I’ll take it …but would love to see Luai come out and just volunteer to do it …
