OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Demps]

Luai is a class act throughout all of this.
The way he's empowered the baby boy, Galvin, in game play, as well as when asked about him by the media.

Suffer fools gladly approach.

He's handled it very well, despite possibly not actually feeling Galvin is worth the hype.

Look at who Luai has shared the field with over the years.... from the best in Cleary to guys like Cogger, Schneider, Peachy? Talagi at Samoa. He knows what works.

 

[Spartan117]

Danny Weilder & Triple M reporting Galvin was mad that we brought Luai to the club. Galvin saw Latu as the long term.

This is all about Money for the Player agent

This is all crap to distract from the above fact.

 

[Tigerwould]

Welcome to the WTF. Good First post.

Good point

Latu is a #7 which wold allow Jerome to be a #6 .

Yes. Latu plays straight and Jarome moves around more. A bit more like a Foran & DCE combo. The drifting Galvin.

 

[matchball]

This is our chance to stick it to Issac Moses.
Let's not negotiate anything just like he wants,. This didn't go as he expected. Galvin is on little money for 25 and 26 so let's just hang him out to dry in reggies and eat the minimal loss to make an example out of him.

 

[getagrip]

Yeah I do. They’ve offered him big money and Moses could make a good commission.

I’m not saying Moses is doing the right thing, but I don’t think he’s deliberately trying to sabotage the tigers. He’s just blindly following his clients requests without asking more questions or having a dialogue with the club. This makes me think a deal is essentially done with another club.

Not a Moses fan at all, but I would like to know the "expert" who declared to Galvin/Moses that Benji couldn't develop Galvin. Must have been someone influential/experienced.

Galvin could go to the Eels to be developed by Ryles.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Galvin could go to the Eels to be developed by Ryles.

He would have a top notch halfback, who coincidentally is the nephew of his manager to mentor him…

I dont think it is, I think Moses doesn’t rate the football club at all. Therefore he poisons the well, telling clients they’d be better offf at another club. Till eventually u start to believe the narrative.
Just my take on what Moses thinks.
I don’t rate galvins father in all this as well. Think he’s the master mind behind most of it!

 

[innsaneink]

It’s more on the club than the ‘Galvin cohort’. They are doing the right thing for their client and son.
Richo’s part in this came from allowing Benji to play him so much last year in the way he was played…especially when these rumblings were already occurring. We should have proven to him that development is a real KPI at this club for being selected into such a pivotal role as a spine player who touches the ball so regularly.

You cant have the CEO dictating to the coach how he should be doing things....i think weve seen what a mess this can create before.
You've already described a scenario why the Galvin camp have such disdain for Benji and the club in how Benji came about his appointment...however that was in the past and things are looking promising a lot more than they were back then.
I doubt any mention of development kpis wouldve made any difference...bringing him along slowly would probably have the opposite effect on one and the family who clearly is used to being #1 in any team hes ever been in...patience and ego dont work well together

 

[jadtiger]

He would see the same lack of morals and decency reflected every time he looked into his fellow half.2 massive ego's and not a shred of decency between the pair of them.

 

[twentyforty]

I've never really thought of him as a superstar, but I do now that he's worth a few dollars to us. LOL. I hope Benji can find a good reason to drop him and then we wait for a decent offer.

 

[innsaneink]

Ok so at the Roosters, Moses has an argument with Nick... Banned.

At the Tigers, Moses wrecked our club! Why on earth isn't he banned here?

We see how this ended, we see all the drama behind Galvin.

Heck we see a club, with Marshall who is arguably one of the greatest 5/8ths of the game, with GI running around and who has just hired Jerome Luai. Why would a NRL 5/8 turn that experience down

Lets reach out to Bula now, offer 50K per year to switch agents. Ban Moses and get him off our club.
With his family history, you would think he would show some loyality... or at least not twist daggers into us.

Stuff it, get him off our club before we get another big 4!

I think weve slowly been workingntowards this through natural attrition...only really Bula left i think and maybe a few juniors

I asked this before why dont every club boycott Isaac Moses...his clients would HAVE to go elsewhere and hes be screwed

 

[Canberratiger]

There is no I in team, but there is in Galvin.

Make up the banner for Monday!

 

[Blocker1963]

Last night Buzz actually defended the Tigers, where Brent Read was all for Issac Moses, even though Buzz has been very critical before what he said last night was spot on. This is a tactic for an early release by his manager and player, family would be aware. On the BSB they have said he doesn't feel he will develop under Benji, what rubbish, the coach that not only gave him the opportunity to play, but play the way he likes, not to many coaches do that. There is an underlying club that has made approaches informally, no doubt. I am quite happy for Fainu to progress, injury fee that Kid is a gun.

 

[shiretiger]

The kid needs to develop his game in NSW Cup for the next 18 months. He might learn some humility at the same time.

The NRL should have enforced a lifetime ban when they had the chance,but as always they failed in the key areas they are supposed to enforce.Far too many vested interests in the heirarchy at NRL headquarters.

Welcome to the WTF Garry_Tiger

Great first post.

Yes welcome WTF Garry-Tiger. Love the pod! I now re-rewatch the game after the pod so it’s about 6 hours a week. My life loves it 😉. Need to become a patreon or sponsor! Cheers

I agree they don’t, but they have said that he can’t reach his potential here. That’s a strange comment given that the team is clearly on the improve. With the exception of the Broncs, even when we lose this year we are in the game up until the last minute.
He has two of the best 5/8ths in decades at his disposal to learn from. We are building a forward pack to create space and a backline to finish raids off. The situation is less dire than it has likely ever been in his lifetime. To sweeten things, we offered the security of a 5 x million dollar / year extension on top of his current 2 years which we also bumped up by 500k each.
Despite all of this, he has not even bothered considering signing on. That is a fundamental failure in negotiation from our team. Did Richo upset them that much last year when he had the sit down? What was said? More importantly, what wasn’t?

 

[hsvjones]

One thing we can be certain of is that the club will not be putting Galvin in any of the Media / Marketing going forward.

 

[tiger red]

If the bloke wants to turn down the big money offered get rid of him now and put the money back in the cap for an up and coming young prospect !!!...Im old school mate and we didnt have sport psychologists and the such . The coach would tell u whats what and you sucked it up and got stuck in ..HARDEN UP MR GALVIN
