Lachlan Galvin #277 *Megathread*

IronFist said:
This shit has had an impact on recruiting. Attention of the club has been diverted to managing all of this, and reactive decisions possibly being made that aren't in the best interests of the club, i.e., reports of Reynolds for two seasons on $700k pa.

Thats on the club. He gave them plenty and I mean a very generous amount of notice. If they cant get their shit together re: recruitment, than they should be replaced.

Lost Olam, lost Klemmer, losing Galvin. In the meantime, I've read Souths make two additions to their depth this week in Bronson Garlick and Moala Graham-Taufa. Not world beaters by any stretch, but you need a top 30 to be competitive over a season. WT's is shrinking.

Yes, this isnt good news for us roster wise.

I don't know how many footy sides you have played in Tucker, but how would you feel playing with someone who threatens legal action if he thinks you bullied him? It's a common practice in rugby league for players to call out team members for what they believe was an error. Galvin or his carers have brought this on themselves, and his place in the side is untenable in my opinion. I guess we will never know if this was their plan.

Plenty. I would have reacted poorly and he would have seen what real bullying was.
Thats me though and one reason why I never made it anywhere near this level.
They are at this level.
They are expected to find a solution as professionals.
Our management should have used tactics to ease him out of the club.
Theyve done F-all. One week in reggies and a piss poor transfer fee. Wheres his replacement?
 
The one constant in all of this is
Issac Moses
Isaac Moses complained because sheens couldn’t relate or the develop the younger players - sheens punted
Isaac Moses complains about the assistant coaches - Robbie gone
His clients (Bateman and Klemmer) supposedly complained and wanted out because Benji treated the younger players (Galvin - an Issac Moses client) differently
His client (Galvin) complains he can’t be developed at tigers (protected in wrestling drills etc)

Isaac Moses is the main problem at wests tigers this season

Gus rules out Galvin bid

Phil Gould confirms his club isn't in the market for Lachlan Galvin.

Oh yeah, that was more bullsh*t from Gould. The best outcome would be for Galvin's arrival to force out Mitchell Woods and he goes on to star elsewhere.

LOL that would be good but I doubt it.
Gus has been planning this for ages. He knows exactly what he will do and how the pieces will move on his chess board to accomodate this signing should it proceed.

Not our lack of depth in the pack where we moved on 4 starters and didnt replace them all?

Nek minnit

People are furious and god forbid...emotional

That’s got nothing to do with anything I said. People have a right to be pissed off. But some take it too far, suddenly downplaying his ability and claiming he’s tanking when he isn’t. There’s enough reasons to hate him. You don’t need to make up reasons.
 
Tucker said:
Everything youve posted is conjecture.
There isnt an ounce of varifiable truth to any of it.
One of the members on here has contridicted this narrative recently and has done so as he personally knows this family.
What you have said is nothing short of butthurt fanboy BS.

What do u know , I happen to know someone very close to benji and we chat nearly every week , I don’t ask him for any info but he does get me some info , I don’t push him for anything as he’s a friend and I don’t want to over step our friendship, so I think I know kore than u
 
Tucker said:
Yeah that makes sense.
Listen to what you are saying...this isnt local park footy. Do you really thing that a professional football club in the most elite competition in the world would give this directive to a second year kid who is struggling?
Click to expand...
Yeah
its crazy eh?
But its what ive seen at times

The 2 props replaced but none of the 2RF's is a concern but the lack of isn't helping, possible KPP (if it ever happens) helps but need at least one more and still need another impact prop in my opinion.

Think Richo is trying hard for more forwards but is all this latest crap making potentials balk, strong possibility.
 
Tucker said:
Do you think Camp Concorde can produce good players?
Saying that this club cant develop a player as well as others can is not the same thing as saying that Benji cant coach.
Our management have backed up this point.
It is only being kept alive by the fans.

You didn't answer my question though.

To answer yours ; yes, I believe we can produce good players. Not as consistently as other systems, obviously, but that's not to say every player would develop better elsewhere by default. There are several factors that would influence that.

I agree, that's not the same, but it's objectively and heavily intertwined. When you're a young, starting first grade player, the first grade coaching staff, and by default the head coach, are the very people in charge of your development, basically exclusively. This follows then, that if you feel you can't develop to your best here, then the coaching staff in charge of that development, most notably the head coach, have insufficient skills to facilitate that development, i.e., 'can't coach'.

It's not that much of a stretch.

This has & will hurt us...

Hopefully Api & Jerome, as well as the rest of the squad can continually show this isn't the case and we are a club on the rise.

Be nice if they have some friends they can bring along to strengthen us also.

This is the next step now.

Time to build the club out with 10-15 mid tier, solid 1st graders.

The main pieces are basically in place

Way they behave with one individual(you)isn't consistent to their general behaviour and values

We'll rue losing him eventually.
Not as a 5/8th but as a competitor and as a genuine footballer.

Agree
But he isn’t worth the money we were offering him, So IMO the team ends up better off.

And like I said
I judge people by my own experiences with them,
I don’t jump to conclusions about another person’s personality on things that have been said or written in the media.
Anyway let’s just agree to disagree on this one 👍
