OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[king_sirro]

Is it a fake smile?
Why would someone fake that?
The smile is real and is how he gets ready to play.
If I saw him running out steely faced I’d think something was wrong.

It will be hard to convince me it isn't fake. You really think his smile coming out for the magpies on the weekend was real?

 

[king_sirro]

The smiles part of his "brand", mate. Gotta maintain the image.

Spot on, nailed it. It's contrived

 

[BAGNF05]

It’s dumb and frankly there is a lot of character assassination going on towards his family considering Benji and Shane have said numerous times that they are good people from a good family.

He potentially needs to deal with them for 18 more months. Given he didn’t answer Richo’s call about a multimillion dollar contract, I doubt they’re on amazing terms.

 

[Tired Tiger]

I think we are showing other clubs how to deal with it. They accuse us, we say prove it and as long as it isn’t true, it goes away.
The only one who should be talking is Richo and that’s how it has been this week. I think we lost last week’s battle but we are well in front this week and we’ll be going into Sundays game with heads held high. As long as the Leichhardt crowd don’t get out of control, we are on top.
As for Moses, if he wants Lachie out early he has to work with the club to find compensation. If his destination club refuses to supply it, he is stuck. His window for an early exit is closing.

The Leichhardt crowd is always out of control, my 4 yo son wants to boo him on Sunday. Dare say he won't be alone ...

Didn't Brookes cop it when he was leaving?

I find the Leichhardt crowd can be a bit docile sometimes with not enough energy and hostility. But I guess we are often losing the times I’ve been.

I’ve said before that I think it’s a coping mechanism to handle stress excitement.
All players have something….superstitions, loud pump up music, quiet contemplation…some even get physically ill. He seems to control it by remembering the joy the game brings him. He looks like a kid in a lolly shop when he runs onto a field. The smiling to me signals he is ready to go.

 

[Tucker]

Richo doesn’t really need to deal with them anymore. The kid is leaving.
He just needs to be civil when their paths cross and move on.

Yes, I was just saying that’s he’s not going to say they are bad people publicly. They’d be off him for standing firm on Lachlan’s contract no doubt.

 

[Tucker]

Yeah, depends what Moses promised them. I’d say they are expecting a release though.

 

[innsaneink]

He also was quiet forthright in saying that tigers didn’t even make the offer
To the way he said it he had inside information. I’m guessing from Moses but could be wrong
I’d say that he’s distanced bulldogs from the spotlight because of the anti tampering insinuation as how the bulldogs were perceived is his first and foremost priority

Theres also the bullying claims here which is still up in the air and probably all BS, but at Belmore the bullying case is well under way and a very serious issue.
He dont want people being reminded.

I think the forum is looking for someone to blame when we are judging a footy player on his smile.

Whether it was Lachy or his dad, they are leaving to go to what seems like Parra, his boyhood club and where his dad played as a junior.

Whether a deal is done or not, we can't do anything about it.

We have the answers we wanted... It was. Galvin family decision... Maybe even just Lachlan himself... But he's gone..

As Richo said, he popped the pimple now we can move on.

With the bears looking likely to join the comp in 27 it's good that we now blood Latu and get our roster in order before the exodus of players from NRL clubs to the west. This includes TDS, Bula, laualili, all of the fainus etc etc

Richos interview has closed the book on this for me.. thank god because it was becoming all too consuming with he said she said.. there'll be more sh1t that will leak but if we focus on what the tigers are doing now to build without Galvin, I think it's a better use of our time...

P.s. I can imagine I post this then a few hrs later some stupid story drops opening the can of worms back up, sucking me back in hahaha

 

[TonyTiger]

For all the crap we give that guy, he has staunchly been behind the club 100% of the way, if I was a player who didn't represent himself, he's the only manager I'd call.

Anasta is only backing the Tigers this time because he has a personal agenda against Isak Moses .. don’t think for a second he’s going soft on us.

Nor should he.

The tigers as a club were an absolute shambles of a club pre Richo.

The tigers need to rebuild their brand as a club before it will let off. Success in the NRL, lower grades and getting high profile signings will help with that.

100%.
He is using the issue to stick the boot into a rival.
I’ll take it lol…

His plan is working well then.

Everyone has an agenda.

 

[Flippedy]

Didn't Brookes cop it when he was leaving?

Yes he did, which was completely ridiculous after all the years he was with us, it’s not like he jumped ship early like some others had. I hate crowd mentality, booing and abuse. You can’t stop them though, I hope most people will be decent and just support the team on Sunday, but no doubt there will be that large element of morons in the crowd who’s booing and abuse will achieve nothing but making our supporters look like yobbo idiots.

 

[liltiger]

Yeah, 100%. If I'm a player manager, I'm doing exactly the same. Think about it, maybe there's guys who are looking at the situation thinking they don't want to get involved with anything like this, by offering a diffrent approach in public, I'd imagine it could only help him.

Appreciate you don't like but sometimes you just got to make your true feelings known...... I'd be one of those bogans if were going.
In this situation, to me, it is showing support for the team but also showing disapproval in regards to the manner in which a player and/ or their support team has tried to manipulate a club.
