OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

supercoach said:
If I was in TDS’s shoes, I would be going to the market place and testing my value and seeing what opportunities are out there to. We are entering a massive silly season with new clubs scouting for players creating a big spike in demand and when demand out strips supply by some margin, it forces price up up up.

Also if a club can offer him a starting gig why would he not consider it. Of course I can why the club would want to extend Api but I think they will have a lot of trouble selling the idea to TDS

100%. He has a career to look after as well.
However that won’t matter if he decides to leave. He’ll be labelled ungrateful. He’ll be abused, as will his family.
It’s the way this fangroup operates.
Anyone that tries to make sense of the circumstances will be cop it as well.
Meanwhile, the club who has managed to lose another local junior young gun will be sympathised with and get away with stuffing up yet another retention negotiation.

I have no issue with him testing his value but that article suggested an ultimatum had been given to the club. That is not okay. We have Haywood until end of 28 and if TDS wants to put himself out there, the club needs to prioritise the player who has tenure.

That’s how the game is played.
This bloke debuted in 2023. He has played 21 games. By the end of his contract that could be 50+. A certified first grader turning 22. Going to market this year does hold a large element of risk for him. His resume isn’t stellar yet. Out of those 21 games, he has only won 7 times.
The fact he is prepared to risk his future to possibly leave is concerning. That’s what management need to work on.

There is a lot of hurt among supporters about the Galvin saga.

You are quite within your right to feel hurt, letdown etc…that’s human.
I’m not happy we are losing him, despite what certain people on here will have you believe.
However the crap being said about him and the words being put in his mouth is ridiculous. The character assassination of his family is poor form and way out of line. Only a few weeks ago, some idiot on here was trying to start the rumour that his father came into the dressing room at halftime during a game and screamed at Benji in front of the whole playing group because his son wasn’t getting good ball….and people believed it! Lots of people on here believed it…..
It’s crazy stuff.
 
For a club that is so rubbish are there young players that have bigger profiles than ours for very little output?
Is it any wonder they are ahead of themselves before their time. Three peat wooden spoon club and yet we dominate the media.
 
I'll be glad when this whole thing is over and the guys who are committed to the struggle can focus on the challenge again.

Also be good when those in the Galvin camp stop pretending to be supporters on a forum and get back to being fathers and managers etc.

The kid is going to need it as the way it has been conducted has turned him from the brightest star in the game loved by other fan bases to a supposed self centered brat. These things stick in this game and any poor form from here on out with Galvin will come with added criticism and doubts about his ability to buy in.

Good luck kid, now piss off. We don't want players like you and will move forward regardless.

He has been exposed to the NRL due to the foresight of WTs and Marshall. This also applies to Galvin. It ends of up biting the club because our younger players are on display at a time when the NRL is expanding and quality players are in demand. I am old enough to have watched both Marshall and Farah debut for WTs and both exhibited great skill and tactical awareness as youngsters. They also demonstrated great loyalty to WTs.

Mate, he is not ready for first grade, not for 80 mins week in week out yet anyway, they are trying to develop him ( exactly like you said they should have done with Galvin) .. anyway Tallyn has never said he wants to leave , so this is al speculation anyway.. as far as we know they have a plan for him that he is on board with.. the interview I saw him actually quoted in said exactly that..

Out of the 21 games how many have been for less than 30 minute stints?

He should be focusing on playing longer minutes first. Api is the much more complete player as it stands

Those kids both debuted far too early as did others like Matamua, Lauli’i etc Way, way ahead of time. It could have had detrimental affects on their careers, I find it strange that they should be thanking Benji for their first grade starts. They were always going to make it through the proper pathways.
As for Benji and Robbie…They were loyal because they ran the joint. As soon as this wasn’t the case anymore, they both left.

He can only play what time the coach allocates to him.
Far too often he is left sitting on the bench whilst Api is out on his feet missing heaps of tackles and too buggered to scoot…that isn’t his fault.

I’m not talking right now. I’m saying he’ll be right to go for the start of season 2027 which is when any new contract with us will be commencing.

Maybe the coach doesn’t trust his footballing ability just yet?

Plenty of younger players in different systems bide their time and learn their craft in lower grades, it’s why exposing them to first grade so early ends up hurting us in the long run

The NRL will rubberstamp it as being perfectly legal and legitimate despite it's very dubious appearance.Many people will not believe it but nothing will be done except a few people will be smiling afterwards

Stinks , his manager is loosing a mostly likely 20% of 250 k x 4 years so he’s loosing about $ 200 k on the deal. Na no way , shonky deal coming up

We are on the same page mate…I don’t think he should have debuted in 23 or 24 for that matter.
This club chose to do that.

last year he was hailed the messiah, just because how he has left the club does not change he is and will be a very very good football player

You're right... great footballer but he is a crap human being with no integrity.
It's a big problem in today's society when people use an excuse like "bullying" to get what they want. I hate bullying and here's a link to look into the right reasons why people should be taking it more seriously.
