OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I disagree with the fundamental theory of your claims.
It’s not about shirking hard work….he is the fittest in the club. It’s not about wanting immediate success with a premier club, moreso, he saw what a shambles this club was and said I want out.
He said it before most RL fans even knew of him.
Us throwing him into first grade last year did nothing for his development. It’s not a positive. His selection was extremely premature and despite some good moments at times, he was still saying by mid season “I want out”. Richo told his camp to shut up and he did…he finished the season and earned himself a spoon. He had no idea how to run a first grade attack and no one helped him. He played the same way in rd27 as he did in rd2.
Additionally, despite telling Richardson he’s not re-signing, he committed to the next 18 months.
Your narrative just isn’t true.

I'd agree with alot of that on a historical basis but I don't think that is necessarily true now but has been used as an excuse to leave.

For me it all goes back to sheens who brought Galvin to the club. When sheens was axed is when the release requests began. There were several under Pascoe.

Moses also hates Benji and I honestly think Moses thought he could get rid of Benji and regain control of the Tigers. There is bad blood with how Klemmer and Bateman left the club.

Richardson has done a great job sorting the administration out and has worked minor miracles in recruitment. Luai, may, API, turava are turning our culture around in a positive way but that doesn't happen overnight after 3 spoons.

I think Benji can be a good coach given the right support. Particularly needs the right assistant coaches around him. The pathways need work too but unfortunately it don't think Holman Barnes has any desire to merge the lower grades. Putting all resources into one West tigers pathways system would drastically Improve our junior systems and focus our resources in much better and more targeted way.

Galvin can't be given a free pass in all this. He new what the tigers were when he signed and he also resigned after coming here. Hell Parra told him he wasn't good enough and cut him loose. If he had humility and wanted learn there is no better than luai yet he sees him as a threat not a mentor. He has a big ego and wants to be the top dog.

He never put his hand up and said no I don't want to play first grade, they used it to put him in the shop window. I also haven't seen anything more from Galvin to suggest he will be anything more than a solid first grader at lock. He will not make it in the halves past his early 20s.His current strengths lesson there more he fills out body wise as he gets older.

Galvin also doesn't get a free pass on how his manager behaves, he employees him full stop and it's a deliberate strategy that he and his camp are fully across and support.

I'm not saying the tigers have handled this in the best way possible but there is faults on all sides of this shit show and there are many more layers to it than just the tigers are a basket case.

Made mention of it on the last ‘release’
When does someone have to justify saving all this money that we’re just not spending?

Cap space won’t improve our ladder position.

We can't save the money. There's also a salary floor, set at 95% of the salary cap, that's to the RLPA. They're part of the problem.

When Parra canned him, he knew the Tigers were a rabble. So why did he come here when no one else wanted him?

Hope his career goes the way of Ash Taylor.

Galvin is well within his rights to leave the club. He’s a promising youngster within a terrible system. Unfortunately he hasn’t gone about the exit in a professional way. AND as usual the tigers roll over and end up worse off with a measly transfer fee. The merry go round keeps spinning. End of story.

What is so "terrible" about the current system? I am intrigued to know, also how is the club worse off? They are getting rid of a "promising" player who has repeatedly said he wants to leave and getting cash for that player, would you rather keep him around for another year and have him poison the joint and take another players spot and then he goes and the club gets nothing?

They won't win a premiership with Galvin added to this side. They will burn out. Good solid forward pack but after 26 rounds they will run out of steam.

Especially as Galvin does not suit their defensive style at all .. imagine the bulldogs line speed with everyone moving up except the 5/8 that hangs back and retreats as the runner gets near him as he attempts an arms dependent catch and wrestle in reverse as you lose 5 metres post contact .. the holes in the line created would be legendary .. nah ,, does not suit this years dogs of war at all ..

I’m

that is the biggest load of crap 💩 , so just because he has always played in a winning team he must be moved to a winning team so that his father can brag look at my great son . Been in a losing side builts character, and that he was given the keys to run the team last year and the club gave him better players this year with more to come but father and son can’t wait , because he is a little pedal

I’m wondering 🤔 if “oldman” is actually “Galvins oldman” ?? 🤣😆🤣
 
My two cents. I am still bewildered why they're giving him an early release. Stick him in NSW Cup to stop disrupting the NRL team. They should also fight the bullying claim.

Never reward bad behaviour or you will get more of it. My estimations of Richo go downhill if this is true.

Galvin said alot in meetings he didn’t attend.

Remember before the season started he posted being on the doggies track blue and white insta post with the additional cryptic post he doesn’t care what people think.

When this started again it was based of an attempt from Richo to negotiate - remember he and his family ignored and didn’t respond to Richo?. He never committed to the 18mths, his camp went into a known negotiation meeting with clear intent of wanting out - his manager (not him) turned up instead to negotiate but with grievances to make it clear he wants out and now which Moses has done multiple times in the past and knew would get his client out, his camp is pushing for the release now funny enough. Think this is now the 3rd or 4th time he has chases a release.

Whilst I get some points you make don’t for a second believe this is all the clubs doing.
 
Didn’t the Bulldogs pay $500k transfer fee for that Broncos player that didn’t amount to anything?

If we’re hellbent on a transfer fee, the amount seems very low. I think any club who signs him will be already paying at least $200k less per season than we supposedly offered him.

He probably came here knowing with a weaker roster/team he could probably make it through and then move to the destination he wants. Something we would all do in our careers to get ahead.
The way they have tried to agitate for release early is poor form for anyone in their respective careers and as a professional, but the piss weak, bias NRL allow it.
Yes I too hope it works out really poorly for him in the future and hope the football Gods rain down the pain on the Galvouts for eternity.

Be sure to let me know when he is better than Burton then....

I did think he was great last year. He was. Last year.

Likely he is rattled by everything and his confidence is shattered but he is without doubt objectively playing worse this year.

And as this is the last year he'll be at the tigers I don't give a fk when he improves.

He wasn’t great last year at all.
He is also not as bad as people are saying.
Yes he’s likely rattled, but he’ll thrive in a good setup.

That’s why they’ll likely use him sparingly this year and get his defence right in KOE.
You know…actually develop him…what a novel concept!
