Galvin gone

Bellend said:
It is a case of do we hold you to the contract or release/trade him early West Tigers will not win either in the court of public opinion and that is a fact. Trade him to Parra and get Charlie Guymer and Sam Tuivaiti for him. Trade him to the Bulldogs and get Blake Wilson and drew Hutchinson in return.

Who cares about public opinion anymore, the public has an extremely short attention span now days. Guaranteed once it’s all done and often even before it’s done, the next nrl story comes along.

As long as we are winning games no one will give two shits. We just need to find better players.
 
I see it this way
Benji and Richo meet , Benji says mate this is not working , Galvin played shit , runs sideways all day and spoils it , team mates are not happy , it’s time to move him on ,
Richo , thank Christ , media going to have field day if action goes to court , to much negativity around , il go to the board and get the nod to move him on now , I got a couple up my sleeve ,
Board , yes piss him off BUT we need something so we don’t look like piss weak run business , Richo ok il offer him up for $ 350 k fee plus he can’t play against us this year ,
Richo meets Mosses the grub , Hay shit head find a club for your spoilt little shit and bring me $ 350 k for him and he can’t play against us in 2025 in NRL main game , Mosses na to much Richo ok see you !piss off I don’t want to hear what you are going to offer , il find my own players for this club not you , I have great relationship with other managers il just call them and say Tigers looking for a prop , second row , centre and lock , send any interest my way and keep it quiet or no deal , also don’t let the door hit your ass on way out dick head and shit head is at Lidcombe oval this week due to poor game last week , coach feels he needs to go back to reserves and work on his game 😁

Too much emotion from fans which is to be expected. If he wants to leave and a club really wants him, treat it like a business transaction and demand something back.

100% the fans are carrying on like bitches.
This kid can play the game, he absolutely has the talent and temperament for first grade.
This club has done him wrong by throwing him to the wolves last year and catering to his every want. He hasnt progressed as a player and this is one of his reasons for wanting out.
Additionally, he has not stabbed this club in the back.
He made it very clear - even before he debuted - that this wasnt his forever club. He has tried to get out a few times before and after he making first grade, showing a distinct lack of enthusiasm for what we are doing here.
On that topic, people say he is blaming Benji. He is not. He is off the entire system. He doesnt trust it and who are we to argue? He has been in that system for a few years now and watched the shit going on behind the scenes as we collected spoon after spoon.
Rightly or wrongly, his price tag is overinflated. This is an opportunity for us to cash in. The going rate is a million. You want him early, cough up the equivalent.
 
The timing of this is interesting. We play our last game in a 14 day break this Sunday.
It is about 6 weeks out from the June 30 deadline.
Monday is the first day of our bye week.
Latu should be back fit come our next game.
The board can meet at anytime really to discuss Galvin with Richo.
However doing it on day 1 of our bye week is intentional and could possibly lead to an immediate release.
Say the following scenario plays out.
1. Nothing comes from it, everyone has a break and gets back to it.
2. Galvin and his management is offered immediate rights to negotiate a new deal for 26 meaning can sign after the 10 day right of reply window.

How does the 2nd half of the season play out? Is it any different if they were to make a decision regarding all this at the end of the season. For mine, no if the intention is to keep Galvin in the top spot for the remainder.

I still think say nothing until October 30 and release Galvin on that day. Ridding us of next years 350k deal and removing us of the who will he sign with drama allowing the preseason to start fresh without it.

Yeah, nah!
Let him be our lacky, keep him for the duration of his contract as backup. Don’t let him and Is-sac win he is not on much money, so no loss if he has to play in reserve grade or at lock.
We can’t keep buckling every time some toe rag player/manager applies pressure. Otherwise it will never stop.
Who gives a fack about the media’s thoughts they hate us anyway, just show some balls for once!! Appease your fans not the other pelicans!
Simples, we can’t get a backup half for the cash that turd is on, and there’s not many available.
I also don’t believe the narrative that the clubs do the same things as managers/players. Players can refuse to go if they want aka Packer. It’s up to them, not the same as players agitating, tanking and using the media to suit their agendas.

The club has sights on top 4 next year. I don’t think Latu or Bud take us anywhere near those heights, short of a miraculous form surge.

I think Latu (once fit) could do a good enough job, as the player he currently is, to get us into the eight. This year.

Beyond that, with time and development, chasing top 4 is well within the club's capacity with Latu at half, provided the club, and particularly the rest of the squad, continue to grow and change for the better I've the next 12/18 months.

The issue with getting to the top 4 with Luai and Latu is our kicking game. That's the only thing holding them back. Latu without a single doubt in my mind improves our attack enormously compared to Galvin. He will free up Bula and Toa so much along with his right edge backrower. Only time will tell, but mark my words, 4 games straight in the 6 jersey and you will see Bula and Toa destroying teams off the back of Latu's ability to open up space for outside men.

Sure for this season. Yes. But just like how the Roosters gave Terrell a call saying he wasn’t wanted at the last day of last season I say we do the same with Galvin.
Ultimately it all comes down to how the current team has been evaluated with Galvin in it and whether he is needed for the 2nd half of the year.
Basically I’m saying if the outcome of the meeting is that Galvin and his management have the opportunity to negotiate a deal for start of 26 before Nov1 we won’t hear the end of release options.
Maybe a better statement might be to grant a release for the 26 season and allow early negotiation from July 1. Meaning there is no talk of an early release for this year and it gets sorted through the origin period and it’s back to business for the back end and it is respected fully closed at the end of the season.
The other side of it is, they could be considering using Galvin in a potential swap deal.

The club may have received an offer which Richardson is required to report to the Board. By announcing the agenda item as part of the meeting, interest in Galvin from other clubs could occur which may result in the club receiving better compensation via competition. Imagine the Eels and a few other clubs having to negotiate with Richardson for a deal.

If the club wants to gain something substantial out of releasing Galvin, they better act quickly. His value in the market place must be on a rapid slide as clubs become aware he is a long way off the real deal and potential is not worth a million dollars a season.

Like others I hate seeing Moses once again screw us over and win and would rather see him rot in reserve grade for a year and a half but in reality that doesn’t help our club to get stronger and more competitive. I think the bye round will see plenty of things happening around Camp Concord and let’s hope it’s positive

This has to be the last time Moses bends our club over the barrel, another thing that should be discussed at the board meeting is tactics to dig this tick out of our side soon as we can once and for all.

How do we do it without losing Bula and Godinet I have no idea, approach from management will probably cause resistance, maybe a player's influence could work.
If we can't find a way find out early so we can plan for replacements as we need them.
Ridding Moses from your club has to be done, Easts laid the blueprint all over clubs should do the same.

Edit not all clubs will fall into line there will be a couple that will be completely controlled by him, to their peril

That’s clearly based on hope rather than actual data though.

This is a normal board meeting

Galvins contract is just one of the agenda items, which would be expected.. and Galvins contract along with other players will also be of discussion at future board meetings too...

Its all business as usual.

All the talk around this board meeting is nothing but click bait for ad revenue

Way to much hype on Galvin since he made hia debut. He has potential to be a good first grader. Ethan Strange is a better 5/8 and the same age. Barely gets a mention. By the end of Galvins career he will have played for atleast 4 clubs.

Agree 100%
Ethan Strange is the real deal

If I had to pick which one I could have in my team Ethan Strange would be my choice every day of the week.
