OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Tim Sheens]

Been waiting on that for some time it seems...

Considering we bought him injured the year before he got here,
You'd have to think he's been up on blocks the best part of the last 3 years at least
- Not a lot to be hopeful about....

Especially with rumours of his mum stating that he was always injured. There is a classy player in him, and we all hope that he gets to show it on a regular basis.

He’s also managed by Isaac Moses unfortunately.

Kiss of death

 

[mtd#2]

There’s a few ways to read that and they aren’t all saying Benji can’t coach.
He wants to be a half, we don’t see him as a long term option there. Other clubs do.

A half as in #7 ? Or as in 6&7?

 

[mtd#2]

I wasn't aware he had said anything. Thanks for the clarification. (No need for bold print. Settle down, take it easy)

Consider yourself lucky it wasn't all CAPS with exclamation marks ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

There has been some mention our club sees his future in the backrow.
This is the correct call, however he wants to keep playing 6. I’m sure he realises that Luai is a better 6 and Fainu is likely better as well.
He has been made promises somewhere else that locks him in at 6.
I reckon this has something to do with him claiming he will be better developed in the halves at another club.

Exactly...

How does that even make sense when the dossier was brought out in the meeting between Richo & Moses (before the Tigers released any sort of statement)

He claim not truths are being spread about the incident. He seems to know to much for a guy with nothing in it, to me!

 

[TurnStyle]

Ugh. Shame. In that case, enjoy 2026 at the tigers Lachie!*

*we all know that's not going to happen.

 

[TurnStyle]

Seems like a similar player to Royce Hunt. Hard to carry two players like that on a bench.

Thought about that but I'd do it.

Apparently he is managed by Voldemort though, so dead in the water.

I think he will see out 2026 with us.. maybe I'm in the minority.

 

[lathami]

Even if he does try to see it out, at some stage we have to grade Latu into grade. What do u think Galvin will do when dropped or pushed out of his position??

I dont get all the chatter he wont be here after this season...Eels dont have a player we want a trade on i dont think and the money he is on next season is neglible so we dont need to cut him to save cap space. I dont think its worth it just to free up a top 30 spot, we have other players we could do that for.

I'd keep him as a backup half/utility and yes give latu more game time.
If Latu or Luai get injured, great to have galvin slot in and give good service

I agree 100% but still wonder when is he going to start tanking??

 

[mtd#2]

Why would he tank?

Its in his interest to play the best possible football to increase his market value...

And if we come into 2026 and he's signed with another club and he isnt performing, play him in NSW cup and utilise him as a backup for Latu and Luai... Nothing lost.. especially if Luai plays origin in 2026

I would love to keep Galvin at the club next year, have said as much several times as I think he should be made an example of.

But it never happens. Ever.

Last I heard Bateman said he intends returning next year to see out his contract, but I can't see that happening.

Difference with Bateman is we didn't want to keep him

He may not because not everybody is a piece of shit like the Moses family

And Aloiai was going to mow lawns...

Way more faith in the current admin, so probably unfair to go back that far. But it just feels like players (i.e., managers) always find a way.

You make good logical sense. We need depth in the halves.
And why give Parra a leg up. That makes no sense.
