Lachlan Galvin #277 *Megathread*

[TigerNeddyK]

They won't win a premiership with Galvin added to this side. They will burn out. Good solid forward pack but after 26 rounds they will run out of steam.

Especially as Galvin does not suit their defensive style at all .. imagine the bulldogs line speed with everyone moving up except the 5/8 that hangs back and retreats as the runner gets near him as he attempts an arms dependent catch and wrestle in reverse as you lose 5 metres post contact .. the holes in the line created would be legendary .. nah ,, does not suit this years dogs of war at all ..

He is sticking with his son has always been in winning sides and Lachlan doesn’t see that happening at the Tigers.

'Always' been in Winning Sides?

Galvin Snr was prepared to pay Parra to release his son because he couldn't even friken make the side.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I’m

that is the biggest load of crap 💩 , so just because he has always played in a winning team he must be moved to a winning team so that his father can brag look at my great son . Been in a losing side builts character, and that he was given the keys to run the team last year and the club gave him better players this year with more to come but father and son can’t wait , because he is a little pedal

I’m wondering 🤔 if “oldman” is actually “Galvins oldman” ?? 🤣😆🤣

 

[Conbat07]

Hopefully he sorts out his club today and there is a resolution so we can all move on

 

[Twodogs]

My two cents. I am still bewildered why they're giving him an early release. Stick him in NSW Cup to stop disrupting the NRL team. They should also fight the bullying claim.

Never reward bad behaviour or you will get more of it. My estimations of Richo go downhill if this is true.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I disagree with the fundamental theory of your claims.
It’s not about shirking hard work….he is the fittest in the club. It’s not about wanting immediate success with a premier club, moreso, he saw what a shambles this club was and said I want out.
He said it before most RL fans even knew of him.
Us throwing him into first grade last year did nothing for his development. It’s not a positive. His selection was extremely premature and despite some good moments at times, he was still saying by mid season “I want out”. Richo told his camp to shut up and he did…he finished the season and earned himself a spoon. He had no idea how to run a first grade attack and no one helped him. He played the same way in rd27 as he did in rd2.
Additionally, despite telling Richardson he’s not re-signing, he committed to the next 18 months.
Your narrative just isn’t true.

Galvin said alot in meetings he didn’t attend.

Remember before the season started he posted being on the doggies track blue and white insta post with the additional cryptic post he doesn’t care what people think.

When this started again it was based of an attempt from Richo to negotiate - remember he and his family ignored and didn’t respond to Richo?. He never committed to the 18mths, his camp went into a known negotiation meeting with clear intent of wanting out - his manager (not him) turned up instead to negotiate but with grievances to make it clear he wants out and now which Moses has done multiple times in the past and knew would get his client out, his camp is pushing for the release now funny enough. Think this is now the 3rd or 4th time he has chases a release.

Whilst I get some points you make don’t for a second believe this is all the clubs doing.

Bullying claims must be serious otherwise $165000 is definitely not enough, when compared to the million he could be getting next year.

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

Big body could be very effective with the kick returns.

The amount of running required to be an NRL fullback, Burton would be dragging himself around on his knees by the hour mark

 

[Tcat]

Should just shut this thread. The dude isn't WT and who gives a shit where he goes.

 

[weststigerman]

Didn’t the Bulldogs pay $500k transfer fee for that Broncos player that didn’t amount to anything?

If we’re hellbent on a transfer fee, the amount seems very low. I think any club who signs him will be already paying at least $200k less per season than we supposedly offered him.

 

[Betterdays22]

Yep. Been arguing that the bullying case has been a stroke of immoral, slimy, genius from Moses. It seriously weakened our position of power. Hope it comes back to bite Galvin in the arse.

 

[Buttface]

When Parra canned him, he knew the Tigers were a rabble. So why did he come here when no one else wanted him?

Hope his career goes the way of Ash Taylor.

#Latuisbetter

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.

That or the club can't wait to get rid of the coward and at least want something in return to save a little bit of face.

 

[Tucker]

Be sure to let me know when he is better than Burton then....

I did think he was great last year. He was. Last year.

Likely he is rattled by everything and his confidence is shattered but he is without doubt objectively playing worse this year.

And as this is the last year he'll be at the tigers I don't give a fk when he improves.

He wasn’t great last year at all.
He is also not as bad as people are saying.
Yes he’s likely rattled, but he’ll thrive in a good setup.

 

[Tucker]

Especially as Galvin does not suit their defensive style at all .. imagine the bulldogs line speed with everyone moving up except the 5/8 that hangs back and retreats as the runner gets near him as he attempts an arms dependent catch and wrestle in reverse as you lose 5 metres post contact .. the holes in the line created would be legendary .. nah ,, does not suit this years dogs of war at all ..

That’s why they’ll likely use him sparingly this year and get his defence right in KOE.
You know…actually develop him…what a novel concept!

 

[Tucker]

If he was in a better system, he’d still be biding his time in reserve grade 100%

Definitely, as he should have been doing here.

 

[Betterdays22]

Interesting thing about him going to the Dogs this year would be the fact Ciraldo relies on high intensity physicality, strong in the wrestle and contact. It took 2 preseasons for him to bed in that style of play with his players. I just can't see Galvin at the moment being able to slot straight in and play that style - he is fit but not strong.

Big call but my guess is Galvin actually plays very minimal first grade this year for the Dogs if he ends up there. Particularly with the players there already doing a job.

If he goes to Parra - what do they do with Brown for the remainder of the year?

 

[Betterdays22]

You got in before me. I agree. Gus will sell it to him this way too

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Definitely, as he should have been doing here.

So in hindsight, who plays 6 instead?

 

[hsvjones]

That or the club can't wait to get rid of the coward and at least want something in return to save a little bit of face.

Plus you don't want him here putting the club down and making others think the same way and wanting to leave. Better for the club morale and media circus we seem to attract
