OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Brett Thurbon]

It’s already ugly now. Richo was around at the Galvin’s place and senior basically told him that his kid deserves the keys to the club and would be the best franchise player we’ve ever had, while Richardson continued his comparison of the kid to one John Sutton. His future is most certainly in the forwards and apparently this absolute gronk believes he’s worth closer to $2,000,000.

Glad we’re on the front foot and taking his feet from underneath him (which his family planned to do us), not fussed if he’s dropped on his head or from grade, either way works.

PS, I’m sure many won’t agree but these are facts!

Love to know what your source is ?

 

[Tom Shines]

Love to know what your source is ?

He is Richo….

 

[Halbrowne61]

Richo has removed his bargaining power with other clubs
We could of upgrade him this year and next which he can’t get anywhere else unless we release him
We have 18 months to lineup another 6 whether it’s from within or external
We also have the 10 day window in which we can top the deal gets offered come November if it suits us to do so
Smart move by the club imo

And I want the best 17 on the paddock. If we put him in reserve grade you outside of form you risk losing credibility with other players internally and externally imo

Why reward disloyalty. IMO that sends a stronger message, if you want out, ok, but until you leave we work around you.

 

[JC99]

Obviously don't think we should drop him, but I'd like to see Benji change the game plan a little

We don't have much attacking structure and Galvin has been given free reign to play what he wants - id like to see Benji pull that make and set more structure to our edges now instead.

No reason to cater to Galvin anymore

 

[clontarfkid]

I highly doubt a deal has been done already. From all reports, the whole notion of only being able to approach players in their last year is policed quite heavily. If Richo even had an inkling that another club has approached Galvin, he would be calling a presser and calling them out.

Handshake deal in the Chinese restaurant at Dogs Leagues that only involved parties know about,followed by a signed contract kept in the safe dated 1 November.

Gus strikes again ( as per Ciraldo).

 

[clontarfkid]

I wonder if he just doesn't rate benji as a coach?

Think he' has little confidence in the club ascending the ladder,without really giving the coach who brought him this far a chance to prove otherwise

 

[mtd#2]

I guess if people are planning to boo the young fella for taking more money elsewhere, they will also be booing the blokes who joined our club for more money too?

No that's not the way it works

 

[Brett Thurbon]

I get people are saying it’s all about money but apparently he didn’t even look at the offer & id say no club will out bid either. Has there been any rumours that he doesn’t get along with the playing group or coaches? That’s what I’d think straight away considering the statement said ‘weren’t willing to review the offer’

Either way disappointing, no loyalty these days

Cant be about money, he wont get more than the $1m we offered. It must be something else

 

[mtd#2]

Does anyone have the daily tele article behind the pay wall ?

Please post

Here's a trick, put the link into copilot or chat gpt and ask for the article 🙂 you're welcome

Why reward disloyalty. IMO that sends a stronger message, if you want out, ok, but until you leave we work around you.

Players leave clubs all the time
Do any of the top clubs drop players because have signed elsewhere
If you want the players to act professionally as a club you have to be professional

 

[mtd#2]

Exactly right.
To my knowledge handful of Penrith players already() have signed with us for a better deal financially -but not one single player is bigger than the club (we’ve already had the Brooks situation on huge money( look how that worked out)

That's not how it works
We are fans of the tigers for life
We will open our arms to new players and boo players that leave
If you can't understand that you don't have the same passion as me 😛

 

[mtd#2]

I can see it now....Galvin playing the mental health card and running to the RLPA...to get an early release

He will have to prove it with medical records and that could take months

 

[Chunk]

it’s not the money …either him , his manager or his family just want out

How do you know that?

 

[Kelce68]

And this is testament to how ugly things are, that the truth may honestly lie somewhere between those two extremes… maybe he wanted 100k more - we may never know but my info didn’t come from Richo or WT camp.

Cheers mate.

 

[mtd#2]

So that probably means latu is really dirty to

Once Galvin gone than latu rumours start

Than he leaves and his brothers want out

Than May sees the tigers were never interested in his brothers and he wants out

Bloody hell this will end worse than the 2018 debacle LOL

You've been around too long and going down the rabbit hole...

Slow down 🙂

There's still a slim chance that Galvin doesn't want to leave but wants to test the market and see which coach, team and money he can play for... And if the tigers is the best option he will resign...

The tigers may have just said, "nah it doesn't work for us mate, your in or your out"

I think the club made a call on it and Galvin never said he wouldn't consider a contract after November. That's just me speculating though

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

must be though being your family’s eventual meal ticket from a young age…

the family are so so far up themselves from what I have seen via others from a distance, this is not suprising

[Gary-Tiger]

Good form from Richo, calling it early.

Lachlan is a talent but there are other players, shouldn’t pin on one. He is still developing and lots of bad plays for many years until he matures for the money.

Latu, faster of the mark, better defender, and straightens up the play deep in the line. Definitely a better long term half. Just needs the time on the field is 1st grade gal in has had.

To be honest it is stupid that this is happening now and not year. NRL should fix.

 

[Sully]

I can see it now....Galvin playing the mental health card and running to the RLPA...to get an early release

All he has said is he wants to play football and let his manager deal with the contract.

Well his manager has dealt with it.

I surprisingly am happy that it has been decided and we can move on rather than wait until Nov 1 and be told then.
We can choose to do what is best for the Club now which does not include a 19 year old kid who has potential to be a good football player. His best attribute is his fitness and to be given a chance to showcase that in FG when other clubs would have had him in Ball, Flegg or KOE has inflated his own self worth.

I would prioritise Latu over him once back from injury. Lachlan Galvin with a 6 or 7 jersey in KOE or 18 Jersey in FG where he would get to sit on the bench and see his teammate out there enjoying hopefully another win. I was at Leichhardt last year when we played the Titans and he was rested after complaining of playing through injury after wanted out the week before in the Dragons game and we won without him. He can relive that for two years.

Let the RLPA complain but Tallis sat out for a year so Galvin can train and sit on the bench for this time and see where he develops.

I support how the club has handled this as Galvin has asked for a release numerous times which is similar to Tedesco ( signing with Raiders ) and we saw how that finally panned out and who we lost
(Paps to the storm) holding out to support players that were never going to stay.

Be interested to see what happens on Monday at CommBank along with Team list Tuesday
