OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[BZN]

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.

As much as I would prefer to see Galvin out of here yesterday, you wishing him pain for eternity is really poor form.

 

[BAGNF05]

Feel like @Tucker has been pretty consistent in his opinion. I think maybe Galvin went better than he initially expected but all this criticism of his opinions just seems like bitterness about the Galvin situation and wanting everyone to be bagging him.

I don't agree with the club's backflip on Galvin in now letting him go for cheap. I think we should just drop him and let him play reserve grade unless we get a decent player in return. At some point we have to take a stand with these contracts otherwise managers and clubs are just going to keep playing these games. This is the perfect situation for it as he's on a small contract.

We made the same mistake with Cleary, Moses, aloioa, Matterson. It wouldn't be an ideal situation but the club has to eventually take a stand. We always talk tough and then immediately cave in, it looks so weak.

Amen brother, love Richo’s take on the latest happenings

 

[Tucker]

The money isn't an issue because Gus has already told them that he will be the biggest money earner in the history of the NRL and his manager would be telling him the same - this contract will set you up for the big ones ahead.
He had no intention of ever signing with us - he has been meeting with Mitchell M and Gus - what young junior player does that with a career path laid out for them at the club they are signed at unless they want out?
His life his choice.

Yes. That’s been obvious for quite a while now.

Yep it’s a gutless thing to say.
There are some real nasty idiots on this forum.

And the biggest hypocrite of the forum goes to

 

[Demps]

WT's paying Galvin massive $$$ is as bad as Newcastle signing Dylan Brown and paying him the massive $$$.

Bullet dodged.

It's a shame about the entire situation tbf.
Hopefully we have some good news coming up.

 

[clontarfkid]

I still don’t get how TDS can throw some really poor passes from dummy half. And some of them even forward. Then there is the element of him trying to kick at the wrong times. Tbh, he is trying too hard to be like Robbie
At this stage id still put Liddle ahead of TDS

Well..Liddle threw/throws a terrible pass from d/h which slows attack and is predictable, but was surprisingly quick,and cld burrow over near the line.Simpkin same without the speed
Haven't got TDS figured yet..has more vision than those 2 but he's no Harry Grant
U can understand his frustration behind Api,but show us why u shldnt be??

Perth Bear In waiting

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

And I would put API in front of them both.

By a mile at least

The forum hates outlying opinions.

The forum hates outlying opinions.

Opinions are fine.

Unfortunately, somone like Tucker digs himself a hole by holding others to high standards, but when someone does the same to him, he comes back with statements that deflect from answering the question, generally starts belittling the person or suggests that they are carrying on like a schoolgirl.

Its a shame because i am sure there are some valid points in there, but it's hard to engage when there are different sets of rules and standards that anyone who engages with him has to adhere too...

 

[Speed2burn]

he will be a rooster rooster man
Galvin wants to be a roosters man

Only if it’s ok with mummy and daddy

 

[supercoach]

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

Don’t play the victim.
I’ve debated the topic from day dot. Your retorts became more abusive the more desperate you got.
You have provided nothing to change my opinion on this subjec…merely rehashing what people far more intelligent than you have already said weeks ago that has largely been debunked by all major players in this saga.
Your distinct lack of understanding has clouded your judgement, so you resort to posting unsubstantiated and usually misleading information as fact.
I asked you to prove some of your allegations and instead of trying to do so, you got upset. That’s because it’s all opinion and you don’t like hearing that it might be incorrect. Your interpretation of events may be wrong.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
