Lachlan Galvin #277 *Megathread*

[GNR4LIFE]

It doesn't just look weak it is dead set piss weak.

This is what I meant when I said nothing has changed. Still push overs. Clubs like Melbourne don’t talk tough cos they don’t need to. They command respect. We have to to tell anyone and everyone, then immediately backtrack.

Perhaps I'm viewing it through my own lens but Marshall and Farah were two of the most outstanding footballers produced NRL wide. Just because you happen to play 5/8 or hooker for WTs, doesn't mean you are anywhere near as good as these two regardless of when you make your debut. I recall Marshall and Farah making sacrifices for the club.

I think we are saying the same thing. TDS and Galvin should have only debuted this year. They aren’t as good as Benji and Robbie at the same age, I absolutely agree.
Where we differ is I don’t think they should have to show loyalty simply because we debuted them early. It is a very old fashioned concept.
Go on LinkedIn and look at the profiles of young professionals in their mid 20’s. They’ve all had half a dozen jobs, none lasting more than 24 months. It’s the way of the world.

 

[Buttface]

Yep it’s a gutless thing to say.
There are some real nasty idiots on this forum.

Couldn’t help yourself could ya.
Living rent free in still. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey man, hope everything is well down there. Looks pretty dire on the tele.
All that’s been reported is that Galvin has sat down with both Parra and the Dogs, and received offers in the $700-750k range. It seems likely he’ll leave soon as long as a transfer fee of $165k is paid.

 

[Big Red]

Your distinct lack of understanding has clouded your judgement, so you resort to posting unsubstantiated and usually misleading information as fact.

Currently.
Last year 99.99% of people on here were prepared to have a standup fight over his inclusion in the squad.
Now almost 100% of them are saying the kid cant play...LOL.

And the biggest hypocrite of the forum goes to

I have no objection to players putting themselves on the market when they are legally entitled to do so, noting the $165k transfer fee applied to Galvin. That is my issue with this Galvin saga. This concept may be old-fashioned to you but I kind of like it.

We also disagree with "at the same age" in relation to Marshall and Farah😁

Looks like no swap will occur...dogs and eels have made offers apparently $750k...we have put a $165k tranfer fee on him.
The rest is just blowhards measuring dicks.

Hope you're all.doing ok with the big wet

It’s not old fashioned at all . Sports is its own thing , and has and always will be, operate on a different moral and ethical landscape . You don’t break contract , you don’t bag your club , and you don’t go and sign for your teams rival .
Break any of those tenants and you’re putting yourself in harms way , with the fans and the zeitgeist .
It’s just the way it is .

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The club didn't talk tough. Just said it had 'no intention' in releasing the player.

And what are they about to do?

 

[Tired Tiger]

I'll be glad when this whole thing is over and the guys who are committed to the struggle can focus on the challenge again.

Also be good when those in the Galvin camp stop pretending to be supporters on a forum and get back to being fathers and managers etc.

The kid is going to need it as the way it has been conducted has turned him from the brightest star in the game lived by other fan bases to a supposed self centered brat. These things stick in this game and any poor form from here on out with Galvin will come with added criticism and doubts about his ability to buy in.

Good luck kid, now piss off. We don't want players like you and will move forward regardless.

100% I have never taken the view that the club is blameless in this but will never understand those who think that Galvin is.

He isn't a victim, he is an adult. He can vote, be enlisted, if he was to commit a serious crime he would go to jail.

People need to stop advocating that he is a victim of the big bad West's Tigers. The guy played us for a fiddle plain and simple.

Could get a run in Parras development system and they told him to piss off. He came here put himself in the shop window and pissed of as soon as he hit peak value.

Where ever he goes from here he won't be the golden boy and will have to put his ego in check. He won't be able to sook if he isn't on the left or not getting enough ball. Hell have play structure no more eyes up footy an he won't be the top dog.

Look how the Bulldogs treated Torpanie and old mate Karl O if he doesn't fit in or gets a serious injured or perhaps even if he looks "tired" they will be ruthless as other clubs have been such as the roosters with Smith and young who were both established first graders.

He and his camp have been across with full knowledge and support of his management strategy, he simply dose not getting a free pass. He is an adult and Mosses works for him end of story, Mosses can't do shit without his clients blessing.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’m really not sure where this narrative is coming from that once he leaves, he’s find it hard and be miserable yada yada. Just feels like a coping mechanism. Wherever he goes he’ll be on good money, most likely in a good team. I’m not happy about it, but as a now infamous doofus once proclaimed “It is what it is”. Life will go on.

Yeah thanks tucker been a horrible week for some and months or years for the people of taree to recover from this ,unfortunately some won't, I'm one of the lucky ones who live out of town, 4 days isolated with no power, was able to catch up with a bit of this Galvin saga last night, my take on this is even though he's not totally innocent I don't think isacc Moses is totally to blame, I believe that that piece of human excrement Phil Gould has been courting and grooming him and his family all along whilst lying to the face of the rugby league community we've unfortunately lost five lives up here during this flood crisis, I wish Gould was one of them, not nice I know but it highlights the hate I have for the man

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Are you proving you're naive?

Did you want the club to explicitly state he is on the market, and only suitable player swaps will be considered? Rival clubs would've laughed.

Reason the club didn't slap a transfer fee and allow him to negotiate with clubs on him 14th April, was because of the parties involved and a 'perception' that WT is soft and this had to change. But this was always going to be the outcome. The difference is it's been a slow car crash which has made Benji's job harder in the past 6 weeks, and potentially changed the dynamic of player/coach relationships for the rest of the season.

No mate. You said the club stated emphatically that Galvin would see out his contract, which they did. Richo even threatened legal action if other clubs approached him. And now he might not even see out 25. Sugarcoat it if you have to, but they have backtracked.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

No i didnt.

Lots of posters really do like to put different words into their replies here.

Well, the club definitely said it.

 

[Telltails]

And Gus said emphatically that the Bulldogs have no interest in Lachlan Galvin - s@$_t has changed and so have both clubs stance and probably for good reason. You are either with ius or your not.

Gus snd Bennett are the two biggest BS artists in the league when it comes to recruitment.

Hope you haven’t been too adversely affected up there mate, but it looks like the whole town went under!

Thoughts are with you champion @Spacecub and everyone in trouble with the floods.
Keep safe.

 

[Sco77y]

And he'll be what, 23? And all the while learning from Api

100% And over that time you’d think there would also be a transition into the primary role for TDS

 

[hodgo]

Honestly Gus and bennet are brilliant.
They literally take all the shit people through at their clubs and protect their coaches and players it blows my mind that people don't see that.

If souths have a shocker Wayne has a miserable press conference not because he is but because he knows the media will dwell on that and not player performances, Gus is the same if the bulldogs struggle and they did early doors he would drop something crazy or fight the nrl big wigs do change the narrative.
