I couldn’t imagine Galvin gives a toss. Besides, he’s not the Dogs recruitment officer.

In that case, he’s a world beater.

I’m only repeating what I was told yesterday… think it might have something to do with bitterness about the WT according to the narrative

Bullshit - it is the embodiment of a troll and someone who only follows the club as a hate-watcher hoping and praying for failure!
Nothing he posts is done in good faith - and he is not a real supporter of the club!

If it is sprint training it is likely the trainer has more than one client in his programme and having them in one class is efficient. Context is important. Also, Bula is a professional and would know to get the best out of his training, harmony within the group is important. I do not perceive anything sinister in this training, it is inconsistent with what we know of Bula.

Again - the point is not about the type of training…it’s about the exposure to Galvin …people said that was a factor in the decision making for another player to leave the club…Im not saying that’s correct ( I don’t believe it had anything to do with it ) …just asking a question if it was a negative for that person , could it be the same here? You obviously don’t think so …others might not agree ,..
plus:
"Since training with the sprint coach, Fabri said Bula has improved by four metres on his sprints.“Most of my national athletes wouldn’t get that in a lifetime, he got that in five weeks”

From what we know of Bula he is a very popular member of our club and a man of integrity. He has the football world at his feet and do you believe he would listen to Galvin ahead of his peers such as Luai and Koroisau? Also his coach is one of the greats of RL and a fine role model.
TDS is a separate issue and it never ends well when you issue an ultimatum to your employer. The club handled the situation well no doubt because it has a great relationship with his manager and no doubt more of his talented clients may end up at WTs due to the club's flexibility in the matter.
That was always going to happen re. Other player (TDS). The problem was that the club , with both Benji and more importantly McDonnell and sheens , had whispered so much sweet nothings in theses kids ear , that when they got to nrl the obvious issues in thier game , Galvins selfishness (I’m not going to pick him apart I IDGAF) , and TDS poor defence, lack of a kick and selfishness around the line , as well as as the game went on his distribution would fall off a cliff as he became more and more fatigued .
Tumeth … same thing . Matamua same thing . When the expectations and promises weren’t aligning with the talent output , they all got offside because they’d had soo much wind pumped up their arse . And the shittiest thing about all of this , is Richo let the large brothers walk , my guess from the outside looking in , was to reinforce that culturally IMO that Matt’s winning side , had a rot that had set in . (Yes I know Matamua and Tumeth weren’t in that side , it proves my point about where the egos have come from) .
I think the next wave with Makasini and Godinet and Tapau Moors and Heyward , seem to from the outside looking looking in , have a different attitude around this stuff. It doesn’t appear to be a whole lot of entitlement.
I mean seriously we had millet swinging his dick in reserve grade after debuting , where he was clearly not up to it IMO, as the was Lazarus and Webcke hybrid 2.0.
I hope the club learnt from this , and I do understand how it happened , they tried to promote loyalty through pumping up the tyres of these kids , rather than a buy in to the club in general. Ie. this nrl jersey is earnt through hard work , and talent … but mostly hard work . I think Benji has this message well and truely permeating through the club now . But unfortunately for a large chunk of that wests Matt’s team , the message was lost . Some key packets of information were lost in transmission . And for that blame the club . I blame Betsy , I blame sheens and McDonnell , I blame Fulton , I blame to a lesser degree gallant , and I also blame Benji. But most of all I really blame Pascoe as he clearly had NFI how to actually run a footy club , and to. Heck these types of rot . We simply didn’t and don’t have the geographical pull of a manly , to be able to have this type of shit permeating through the club. Which is all evidence of why we won’t those spoons . And it was obvious too for everyone . You’d hear journos talk about it , managers talk about , 360 talk about , everyone down the pub who had a smallest bit of insight into the club talk about , there was a podcast where 2 brothers who would coach and were coaching here , now he’s an assistant at Canberra (Brock) he would allude to it . I’m glad sanity has prevailed , but yea there’s going to be still residual effects from this time . And for that we all need a o be patient and recognise this . Sure we’ve come out the other side , but yea there’s going to be residual bad culture still within the club, to which they will need to slowly weed out.

The context of the "exposure" is important.
They are not running partners or gym buddies - they independently (along with Jason Saab and others) have engaged Fabri to enhance their sprint techniques wihich he does in group sessions.
To suggest goofy teenage Galvin could have some sort of Machiavellian influence over Bula's contract decisison is a very long bow.
Galvin may have been influential with the kids who looked up to him - but Jahream is not a kid and their relationship does not concern me at all.
Your initial query was "should we be worried" - and my opinion is no.

I don’t know him and I assume you don’t either so I don’t think either of us can properly answer this … all I can say is he is obviously tight with Galvin so he may be an influence…
On the positive side .. Bula can also look to his Manager for some guidance …

That’s fine … your entitled to your opinion … I guess my query was directed at those who had the opinion that Galvin had an influence over the other player who left

You've nothing to work with here. Sprint training in a group programme run by a pro sprint coach. Context is important.

I believe Galvin's departure did have an influence over TDS leaving - as he was a bit of a security blanket for Tallyn.
The issue of Galin and Bula both training with Fabri and many others is not breaking news though because it was referred to in the Telegraph.
Jahream started over 8 weeks ago - Galvin joined the group later:

If Bula stays … it’s obviously never mentioned again … if he leaves we’ll have to wait and see how the issue might he spun like with TDS …personally I don’t believe Galvin was a factor in that call or this one
The topic is just a bit off-season news in the paper today … not much else going around to discuss that I’m aware of ..

He's not "tight" with Galvin.
They are mates - but not close mates FFS!
Have you seen the rotating group they train with includes?
