OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Strider]

I think Galvin played better under Benji than Ciraldo, though surely he will play 5/8th next year and have a better year.

I am guessing young Mitchell Woods will play seven and Burton maybe (an expensive) centre and Dogs will probably want to buy a hooker in the off season.

I still think Galvin would have been more suited to play with Moses at Eels in 2026.

Not if they don't have an organising and kicking 7

They are banking on Mitch Woods, however he is still quite inexperienced and has not played a single game of first grade. At least we have AD and Latu, whilst Latu has mainly been a 6 he has shown some potential at 7, and his kicking in the last few games of the year was not bad. He has also had some good experience in first grade.

Galvin should have gone to the eels as Moses would have made him look good. Okay he may have copped a few sprays, but he would have had zero responsibility for the running of the team and no kicking duties. He would have been a very highly paid catch and pass player

Nah don’t think would have been worked , from what I seen he likes to be the main . He was wearing the 6 but all the ball was going to him , I don’t think he can play or likes to play a secondary role

Feel sorry for Mitch woods next year if he has to partner Galvin as Galvin will hog it and woods will take the blame as halfback for the results

O'Sullivan from the Dolphins is going to the dogs in 26 so he mite get a game at 7

Great post, everything is starting to make sense now. I remember either end of last year or start of this year someone at a game said Galvin got overcalled a few times (and this would have been with Sezer or Luai at 7) and he looked quite annoyed by it or something. I initially dismissed this as just a kid being eager and whatever. Then there are reports he is disgruntled with the Luai signing because it means he will have to play second fiddle to him which also seemed strange, but now looking at how he played the first trial game being the "star" of the team and he just would not let Latu get the ball and all these previous instances I genuinely believe this kid reckons he should be the main man.

At the bulldogs he's easily been the more dominant half although he realistically should be when playing halfback but even on the weekend at 6 he touched the ball 16 more times than Sexton which also seems weird as when watching the first half I hardly saw him. I could probably look more in depth throughout the whole season to see how it stacks up, but generally seems like this would be the trend.

If he went to the Eels he would have gone really well under Mitch Moses I believe as he is a five-eighth/future lock maybe but certainly not a halfback and the eels seem to be building a decent squad (but heavily carried by Moses), but I think he might have knocked that back because he would be second-fiddle.

Gonna be really interesting if they try persist with this guy at halfback into the future and even if they get a real halfback whether that actually means anything if he's just going to overcall the whole time.

If we are talking purely 2026, Douhei is a much better option at #7 than Woods or Galvin. Luais also a better #6 than Burton when he's at his best.

Gus said Woods would debut in the NRL next year... Whether that means he is their starting choice, who knows.

My bet is burton will leave the dogs when his contract is up.
Galvin will play halves again next year but he’ll have to play reasonably well or the dogs fans will be out for blood

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

I just realised, Lachy only ever looks good when the team around him plays like shit... He stands out because of his energy in teams that are flat...

You clearly didn’t watch him playing junior reps for Wests, starring for Westfields or captaining the Australian Schoolboys 🤷‍♂️

What is his best position in your opinion?

Perth or PNG for sure

You know the head coach of the Dogs is related to Burton along with the football manager

That is such an astute signing from the Dogs. Everything I hear about O'Sullivan is he is pretty much the best halves coach in the world and is able to coach young up and comers whilst playing alongside them. To have him in the system tutoring Woods and Galvin is a big win for the Dogs.
