What a show of solidarity it would be if Benji changed the team to exclude Galvin and the boys pulled it together for a win for the next few games until Latu comes back.

And the difference is Laui didn’t disrespect the coach, the coach disrespected him by saying he wasn’t sure he could run a team in his own.

It’s crazy cause Luai has been so accomodating for Galvin. He’s actually taken more of a backseat. Galvin has no idea how good he has it.

I saw that too. Hopefully for his own sake he snaps out of it cause he’s very talented, but he won’t be doing it at the tigers.

And this statement from Richo says it ends now. We have so many options. We have threats all over the field, we have Haywood, Makasini coming through and now we have a bunch of cash.

Hmm, yes. I mentioned in another thread that I think his parents have good intentions but they are seriously out of their depth here. They’ve now allowed their son to be used as leverage for the tigers to cash in. He could be thrown in to reserve grade then distressed sold to a club who are...

Once again, I think Galvins family sound like good people but they may be believing the hype a little early and are well out of their depth in this world. They’ve basically allowed Richo to use Lachie as leverage now. He’s not paying him much and happy for him to play reserve grade. They may get...

I personally don’t see how they can play him now. In an ideal world we have Latu, but Galvin may be more detrimental in the team with everyone against him than having him out of the team.

If you pay close attention to his body language against the knights it’s not good. He doesn’t get much engagement from teammates, and he blames them when he makes mistakes. All irrelevant now, but it sheds some light on why Richo pulled the pin.

Yes, he’s made some big errors. TDS also made it clear he wants to stay and build.

I don’t like commenting on this, but I know some people who know some people and earlier in the year Lachie was genuinely happy about the club and its direction. My word is that it’s changed recently, and maybe it has something to do with the click of Luai, May, Turuva etc and their relationship...

Yes, I thought as much - I think there's more to this story than we know i.e. Richo must know there's offers from other clubs or something like that.

It's not punishing him, it's doing the best thing for the club. How does it make sense for the tigers to continue to develop him when we have another option that is up to it and needs development? He made he call, he knows the potential consequences.

is it possible that the club will change it's mind or is it done?

Well, I think that Richo has been in enough situations like this to know when Galvin isn't being straight. There's wanting to go to market, and there's wanting to go to market. When we have cards in our hand like Latu, you don't play games with a player that has a foot out the door. Look at what...

I think he could be a very good 6 - maybe he doesn't have the speed, but he has the deception and as he gets bigger he'll be even harder to stop. I agree that he'll most-likely end up in the back row. However, I also think Latu could be an excellent 6 so I'm not too concerned. First step...

I don't think it's sour grapes. It's just business. We can't afford to put more time in to a player that doesn't want to be at the tigers, and you can't win a comp with someone that doesn't want to be there either.

His latest injury was contact, not breaking down. He'll be fine.

Not when the future of the club depends on it - with more game time Latu could be just as effective.

If he doesn't want to be at the club, you drop him once Latu is better. Galvin is doing what is right for him, and the club needs to build for the future without him.
