Lachlan Galvin #277 *Megathread*

What the Tigers get for Galvin will show how much substance there is to the bullying claims. If it’s 150K then he was probably bullied… Maybe that is the reason he didn’t want to sign with the club? I wouldn’t sign a contract somewhere I was being bullied…

That doesn't match up with the timeline.

All was good, until it wasn't.
Word came out he disrespected the coach and then the players were off him.

The bullying, if you can call it that, came after he and his manager indirectly bullied the coach.

I haven't watched it yet so I am not fully aware of the context but there are plenty on here including me ragging on the club when they make brain dead decisions and sometimes do rightly deserve it.

As irritating as it can be, Pooper sometimes makes some points that may infuriate you, but quite often there is some validity to it all.

look at Riccio he kept saying 3 weeks ago to braith that Galvin will not be at the club by june 30 and kept coming back to the bullying claim as the issue.
We papered over the cracks with wins against sharks and dragons but seems like the allegations might have some legs
 
The bullying is a massive own goal by us. It’s cost us all of our leverage. Without the bullying we could have sat him in reserve grade for the next 18 months and “won” this war with Moses or wait until we got something that suited us in return (this assumes Moses doesn’t try something else to get Galvin out of his contract).

I don't think it has legs otherwise they would have leaked it to make to club look bad and get a release earlier.

I think Richo knows most of the players and coaches are off him and just knows he needs to get it done now and move on. If he goes before the next game, I really believe you will see a massive morale upgrade and Laui will come out of his shell more.

These days something as simple as not being inclusive can be classed as bullying as stupid as that is.

Are you being deliberately thick? Of course I think we’ll be better without him. He’s become a toxic little turd at our club. You occasionally lose the plot mate and on this topic you’re certifiable.

Don’t bother with him, this is how he tries to get attention because no one outside the forum wants anything to do with him and if his behaviour on here is any indicator, it’s pretty clear why.

Watch him start littering every thread with his inane ramblings when less and less people bite.

$150, 000 transfer fee seems perfectly reasonable for a player who is on a contract of $350,000 why would any club be prepared to pay more.
We don't need to be putting two and two together and backing Moses claims - the man has no ethics.

The rejection of a significant Tigers offer without having an offer lined up doesn’t make sense to me. It seems to me like there is more to it… Bullying before the offer he rejected, may be a plausible reason why he would reject the offer. Suggesting it was because of development potential when he is working with Luai and Benji also doesn’t make sense to me.

Maybe we will never know, but there seems to be more to it than what we currently know…
 
Geezus If Lachy faced a Bellamy type spray from Benji they would claim that as bullying yet everyone in the NRL thinks thats amusing.
Last season Moses tried the we were playing him injured claim challenging our duty of care
So we rested him. The whole club has been walking on egg shells around the kid
Bulldogs have a late to training punishment session that involves every player wrestling one player - let's hope Lachy's punctual if he ends up at the Bulldogs
People need to remember who is making these claims and take a breath.

this is exactly the position we are in.
well said.
 
Bullying or just given the cold shoulder because he's a cat? Whichever it is, his demeanour wont change when he goes to a new club, it's on him. I reckon he'll cop it wherever he goes, because maybe he's just that kind of person. He might go on to become an elite player, but it looks like he's got a lot of growing up to do before then.

Isaac Moses seems to have a type.

Maybe if he gets a missus the league will buy her a diamond ring too.

What behaviour was considered bullying?

On Kentys podcast he basically says that the bullying claims are embarrassing and the club just wouldn't want them getting out. I am paraphrasing, but something to that effect.

Could hold some weight. Anything leaking about issues with our club culture will make future recruiting all the more difficult. We are trying to build / portray a club of wide acceptance and family first ethos.

Wouldn’t we be paying him $150k if there was claims of being bullied that we didn’t want getting out?
