OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[TCL]

I want to know in which universe does anyone get to tell their employer “don’t bother with a contract” and btw here are a list of reasons why my leader doesn’t do it for me and then stands in front of his colleagues and say “you do you and I’ll do me” and expect no consequences. Is this an episode of Seinfeld?

Based on what has surfaced to date any reporter who is writing the tigers did something wrong is victim blaming. And by publishing the headlines and stories, they are only adding fuel to the mental pressure the kid maybe going through. If moses didn’t give his client the heads up that this would play out in the media and heap pressure on him and his family, then he has also contributed to or even caused the kids mental anguish. You could even add that Gould played his part as well, by over praising the kid he created a false sense of worth.

Having said all of that I love this solidarity in the team and truely hope the kid is ok. His enablers should be ashamed.

Backdoor is preaching the Moses narrative on 360. They genuinely believe their own bullsh1t.

Well that was no surprise, just expected Danny Wanker would be given the exclusive. Didn't Isaac and Benny roll out a similar script for Teddy and The Nephew Princess? Can someone remind me how Benny is relevant, apart from being related to Moses, he did disclose that right?

After watching May's most recent vlog it could be that galvin just struggles to get along with men or big personalities. You see it in normal workplaces kids come from school where they are the big dogs and then quickly get put in there place by men in the workforce.
Last year galvin was given the keys and was the big dog, this year not so much. I think this is shown in May's vlogs as galvin looks increasingly shy and stand off ish towards the camera, as the season has progressed.
Last year I get he wanted to leave due to loosing games but this year I think the new dominant personalities may have put him off the club.
I wouldn't be surprised if this stops him from signing with the dogs. Parramatta though don't really have that problem except for maybe the fox.

2nd fiddle to M Moses may upset poor Lachlan

You dont think Moses will put him in his place?

Latu Fainu has declared himself ready to step into Lachlan Galvin’s No.6 jersey, believing coach Benji Marshall’s guidance will help fulfil his ambition of becoming Jarome Luai’s long-time halves partner.

Galvin’s future at the club has become clouded after his decision not to entertain a lucrative contract extension in the belief Marshall couldn’t take his game to the next level. At the urging of senior players, Marshall dropped Galvin to NSW Cup.

Phil Gould has labelled the situation “untenable” and predicts there is no way Galvin will see out the remainder of his Tigers contract, which expires at the end of 2026.

Whether Galvin moves on now or later, Fainu is considered the playmaker most likely to fill the void. Currently unavailable due to a hand injury that will likely sideline him for a further three weeks, Fainu has made 11 NRL appearances to date, predominantly off the bench.

However, the 19-year-old believes he is ready to play alongside Luai and make the No.6 jersey his own.

“100 per cent. If [Galvin] is not there, I’m ready,” Fainu said. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make this team better. For me, if it means getting that six role, I’m all in.

“When I first came to Wests Tigers, they brought me to play in the halves. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. That’s the position I’ve been playing my whole career, since I started playing footy. I feel most comfortable there, I feel I can add more value to the team as a half.

“Whatever the team needs, I’m all in. I love the club.”

While Galvin says he can’t play his best football under Marshall, Fainu believes the former premiership-winning pivot is the perfect person to guide his career.

“Obviously, he has helped me so much on and off the field,” Fainu said of Marshall.

“He was a great player and is a great coach for me. He makes me comfortable in the side and makes me play my best.

“Honestly, when he joins our sessions, I just watch him. When he trains, you get a feel for the mix of how he wants to play and how I want to play. I just want to play like him.



“He knows what is best for me as a player. He has given me and my brothers a debut in the NRL. I’m truly grateful to have him as my coach.”

Like Galvin, Fainu was dubbed as the next big thing while coming through the junior ranks. In late 2021, when he was still 16 and at Manly, Fainu signed the biggest contract ever for a player yet to reach NRL level.

When he switched to the Tigers, where he played alongside Galvin in the lower grades, it was Fainu who wore the coveted No.6 jersey.

“He was playing at fullback and then switched to second row when he was playing with me,” Fainu recalled.

The Guilford product said he was keen to play as much football alongside four-time premiership-winning playmaker Luai as possible.

“He’s a great role model, especially for me as a half,” the Tongan international said of Luai. “He knows what he’s doing in on-field situations, but off field he knows what to bring with the culture of the team. He’s just a great person to be around.

“I’m trying to learn as much as I can off him. As much as I want to play this week, I know that I’m injured.

“In talking to Jarome Luai, he’s keeping me up to date and encourages me to take control and play halves with him.”

Fainu said the prospect of playing behind a pack that included Terrell May, Fonua Pole, Alex Twal and Royce Hunt was an exciting one.

“100 per cent, they make our jobs easier,” he said.

“They get to our spots quicker, it makes it so much easier for all of our spine, especially me, Api [Koroisau], Jarome and Jahream [Bula].”

Fainu has already achieved his ambition of playing alongside his brothers Sione and Samuela - who are in the side for the Easter Monday clash against Parramatta - at the Tigers. Now he hopes they get to add to the tally.

“That’s the only thing we want for each other, to play first grade,” he said.

“To continue to play first grade at Tigers, that would be a dream come true.

“It means a lot, they are the only team that trusted us to all play together at the same club.”

Such a humble level headed kid. Hopefully he doesn't change when he gets more gametime and is in the lime light more. That's how someone who appreciates an opportunity sounds.

Iv never wished I'll on anyone, but watching Benny Elias on 360, I came really close. Wow he is filth.

Galvin is probably sheepish because he knows the shit storm that is about to drop the next day of his making ..

Based on what has surfaced to date any reporter who is writing the tigers did something wrong is victim blaming. And by publishing the headlines and stories, they are only adding fuel to the mental pressure the kid maybe going through. If moses didn’t give his client the heads up that this would play out in the media and heap pressure on him and his family, then he has also contributed to or even caused the kids mental anguish. You could even add that Gould played his part as well, by over praising the kid he created a false sense of worth.

Having said all of that I love this solidarity in the team and truely hope the kid is ok. His enablers should be ashamed.

The one certainty out of all this is the whole league world knows his manager is a weak gutted dog.

I know right . I’m in a team meeting about a project with a deadline , the boss walks in , i say “7 reasons why you’re the shittest boss ever , and then turn to the rest of the team , you do you I’ll do me….. like wtf …. That’s an instant written warning at best . More likely you’re being made redundant for performance issues the next day .

 

[jadtiger]

Ben Elias, defending galvin on 360 . I'm embarrassed to call him a balmain legend

He is related to Moses,i expected no less

 

[Telltails]

In which universe has a 19 year old ever felt the need to not consider a 6mill contract before he was allowed to field other offers?
Perhaps the NRL and RPLA should be directing questions around that then they may understand why people are over this shit six games into a season.
Players know it coach knows it Richo knows it and even drop kick Benny Elias know it

 

[liltiger]

I agree with the principle as to what you are saying, but I think your missing my point.

It's a game of chess. We are giving away a pawn to trap the queen. 1 week out for Turuva to ensure we keep Galvin as a bargaining chip for a better player.

We MUST punish Turuva for the greater good of the team.

Not because we think it's right, not because Turuva is worse than Galvin, but because the risk is that Moses and his mate Clint Newton at the RLPA use that agaisnt the club to get Galvin out of the club ---- the tigers then lose our power to get a player trade.

It's about perception. Tick the box and let Turuva know on the side why. It's not a big deal in the scheme of things if we get a potential state of origin level player in return.

Again, it's not a decision I agree with in principle, but it's a sacrifice we must make to continue to hold the power in this situation.

If we don't think like this, we will lose.

Moses plays chess not checkers. As they say dont bring a knife to a gun fight.

I see what your saying now, I totally missed your point, though the last thing we want though is to get Turuva offside. Maybe they just tell him on the quiet, look mate we need u to help us out with something, we need to do this to show we're looking after him, I need u to play along and sit a week out.

 

[Lestronge]

Yeah nah....

Shit idea - releasing him without adequate compensaion only hurts the Tigers!

A mooted player swap for anyone would have to at the same low contract value and that of zero benefit to us.

He should just suck it in and be retained as a squad member - while playing reggies and watching his market value plummet!

But thanks for your input Mrs Galvin!

Not necessarily dude . If we have the cap , then it’s just about getting that number under the cap. Not to mention it’s halfway through the year , so 500k cap room is a 1 mil dollar player .

 

[gold coast tiger]

You dont think Moses will put him in his place?

I think Mitch Moses needs galvin now that brown is out the door, it's a little to convenient that this has all come to head now since the brown deal.
And if Moses wants to win a premiership befor he retires he will need to keep him onside.

Imagine the media babying of a 19 year old occurring in any other professional workplace??

FFS - just because Lachlan is remarkably immature and evidently poorly advised by his dubious 'brains trust' does not make him a victim!!

You turn 18 - you are legally an adult with the legal rights - responsibilities and expectations that come with adulthood!

His vicarious stage parents have a lot to answer for in regards to the stunted personal development and lack of character from this pathetic ignorant punk!!

 

[NT_Tiger]

I wonder if Galvin actually said this? "You do you and I'll do me." If it is accurate, what better way to antagonise a group of team players?

 

[liltiger]

Only works if we never deal with Isaac Moses again. Otherwise he will know he can get away with doing this rubbish to us constantly. If we dig our heels In now and make Galvin stay, he will learn the old tricks won't work anymore.

Listening to a few interviews he’s not the most articulate lad.

 

[hsvjones]

Braith on 360 the last 2 days has been outstanding and can tell he doesn't like Moses. He knows exactly what Moses is trying to do and glad he has the balls to call it.

I think the reason he wants to leave is clutching at straws and now they chose this path / LIE they have to continue with it and they are being called out for it.

We must beat Eels on Monday now to really rub salt in

Yep this about Moses looking after his family . Playing the Galvins like a fiddle to achieve it , and leveraging their love for the eels to do it . Surround the kid with “help” who are people with an axe to grind about the club , and bang you’re manipulating the kid , and getting him to formulate his decisions .
