OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Today's podcast with Chammas & Weidler, both still arguing how Richo has inflamed this whole situation through his emotion.

Interesting new bit of info that apparently there is a process the clubs have got to go through when demoting players lower than NSW Cup and they said that 'allegedly' the Tigers didn't go through that process with Tumeth & Matamua and why all of the sudden Matamua is back in Cup.

If true, then Betsey & Benji have a bit to answer to Richo about in terms of following process but it may well be part of the Benji smear campaign.

I would say what coaches & players would have to do like a HR performance management plan where it is documented why they are being demoted, what they need to work on and what KPIs they need to meet to return to NSW Cup or NRL.

I would argue that the situation is inflamed a lot more with these clowns writing multiple crap articles a day about it.

WT are already at the bottom of the ladder. You don't need a smear campaign to bring us down.

They're writing articles because it generates clicks. You will have 3 days of pro-Tigers articles then the 4th day the one who writes an article anti-club will get more clicks. One new quote from anyone remotely relevant will mean another article.

The media is actually quite predictable with all this. They're not running a smear campaign, just trying to make as much $$ as possible.

Yep. I was listening to MMM Saturday footy around a month ago and the journo (forgot which one) actually said out loud, you want the tigers either smashing it or bombing. If they mid table there’s no story. Made my blood boil…

What's one more

Noone said he did Tucker, they said his manager did on his behalf, whilst providing a list of issues with the coach. It's snakey behaviour in a team environment to be documenting things to use as ammunition to support a claim, without giving the coach a chance to look at them and sort them out 1 on 1 as adults. It's sneaky and screams convenience. The bigger point is he is 19, any news outlet will take his call all he has to do is say I want to publicly apologise to my coach as I don't agree with what my manager claims about his coaching ability, though I will still be leaving in 18 months. He has never once come out and distanced himself from the comments. Imo your paying the manager to represent you, if he says something you don't openly disagree with, you obviously agree with it. Also the list had specific details about a wrestling match where Galvin was told to stop early cause Benji didn't want him hurt or something and Galvin complained it affected his defence development. Those are only details Galvin could give, Moses doesn't have esp. It also shows Galvin has been planning this for awhile, giving these details speaks volumes about his intentions. Any player in that situation would brush it off and forget about it, but if you remember and record it, your looking for excuses against the coach. Like I wrote earlier instead of going to Benji 1 on 1 to resolve it and giving it as a reason to Moses, shows Galvin had no intention of the player coach relationship working, showing the lack of respect he has for Benji as a coach. It's sneaky, snakey behaviour. That would be what's really got the players offside. The seeing things and recording them instead of addressing them.

You are wrong. He’s not saying Benji can’t coach, he’s saying the whole club can’t develop him as well as other clubs can and you would have to be not paying attention to think he’s incorrect.
 
My guess would be that Moses has told Parra that he could get Galvin released immediately without having to do a player swap. If we could get a gun player in return I reckon Richo would agree to it. Not Brown because he would only be here a few months. Richo will stand strong until an Origin level player is offered in return.

In Gus' latest podcast today about the 32-min mark, he continues to imply there is another reason which hasn't come out why Galvin wants to leave and it may never become public. He says it's a situation that needs immediate mediation for all involved. Whether Gus is just trying to sound like a know-all or actually does know, it's all up for interpretation.

Gould said he knows what the issue is and it's not money. But it needs to be mediated. So he actually knows what it is..so what is it, if he thinks it is untenable?

Gould regurgitated what he's been told by Moses.

He questions why Galvin wants to leave the club and why others have wanted to before him and how the tigers handled the situation.

"I think there's more to it"

"That's why I know there's a deeper story, because what's been portrayed doesn't make sense or justify what's happening at the moment".

Gould suggests that people in the media know what the actual issue is but are tip toeing around it...

I find it hard to believe that it's an issue with the tigers if the media are tip toeing around it.

"Whether it's true or not or whether ppl are accurate or not, what it's going to do to his image and to ppls opinion of him going forward".

To me this insinuates it's something to do with Galvin himself...

As I said above, if it was an issue with the tigers, it would be all over the front page.. people wouldn't be sitting on it..

Gould also reinforces he isn't the first to do this from the tigers a few times. So he's playing both sides.

Well there is the story going around about his father but it hasn’t been reported anywhere.

Yeah sorry I just edited my post because I missed the end of it where Gould said he knew what the issue is.

So maybe you are spot on.

So maybe the dressing room saga with old man isn't so far fetched.

Eh, I'd love to know

Me too. But if you could trade him with a good player who wants to be here I think you would.

I would say no and these are my reasons -

What is the definition of a good player noting Richo's view on Galvin's talent?
A good player will have to want to be at WTs.
I cannot envisage a club surrendering a good player so Galvin can be released.
There are salary cap implications which would need to be considered noting Galvin's contract.
This may set a precedent for the next schoolboy star we produce from our pathways.
 
Richo is quoted in a few articles

Is there an actual interview I can listen to ? Or was it all with a journo
