OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Playing week in and out will be taking its toll on him. If Latu can come back soon I’d consider playing him in cup for a bit. He tries but he just needs a break.

He’s not going back to KOE. He’s a first grader.

He’s never played KOE Galvin but I think he’s struggling to play in top grade week in and out. But I also think he won’t be a long term 6, he’d probably be a backrower in a few years. But I think a week or 2 in cup might rejuvenate him a bit, but we’re down in the halves at the moment so it’s hard to make that call.
 
I think there are two aspects to be considered here. Firstly is his performance as a first grade player - it is a results based business. No-one is questioning his effort but at an average of 2 tries a game, there is an argument that a change is required.

Secondly (and most importantly) is his development. A team that hasn’t won in 8 weeks despite a noted effort may be weighing on him. In another thread, someone made the suggestion of putting him in Flegg as they are going well. I wouldn’t want to be throwing him for the fire to the pan in our KOE side.

In any case, I am sure the coaching staff are speaking with him regularly and assessing where he is at the moment (both performance and confidence).
 
How is a generational, deeply embedded cultural issue, the fault of an 18 year old rookie 5/8? Just look at what the kid has been given to work with. Outside of Api and Bula (another who cops it relentlessly), he has no one. His options of runners consist of Nadan and Seyfarth FFS. He’s the least of our problems. Throw him in the Roosters side and he’d be flying. Well maybe not, because the Roosters aren’t in a position to have to throw an 18 year old 5/8 to the wolves. We are though, and he’s handled it remarkably well.

Well said, I couldn't of put it any better myself.

1000% correct. Its an absolute disgrace that anyone points a finger at this kid for anything wrong with our team and club. Its know getting to a point where we are degrading the way he plays because the kid competes and wants to play to proper structure but the cattle around him is not up to scratch in any way, shape or form.

Lets face facts - Sezer, Naden, Staines, Olam, Sullivan, Klemmer, were all let go by there previous clubs for a very good reason. They were not chased by any other clubs except ours. Absolute disgrace the stitch up that occurred with Sullivan being paid what he is getting.

Our club is littered with some shocking examples of overpaid, washed up, not wanted by any other club, players. Its a hole that is going to take years and years to get out of because we will be bent over two fronts, paying these players part of their contracts when they are finally pushed out and then paying way, way, way overs to attract anyone to our club.

Turned into another Bula. 2 or 3 good games aint gonna cut a 10 year career kid. We all know Brooks got away with it, but he needs to be dropped for a few weeks.

Bit harsh on the players mate. Dropping players who have a bad game is not the way. Dropping players who shouldn't be in first grade to begin with is the right choice. Staines a good example. As is Sullivan
 
The scapegoating of Galvin is really funny I must say. It was his worst game to date. He's 18 years old! He's going to be a very good player. People forget Nathan Cleary was receiving death threats when penrith struggled early in his career too. Bad form affects every single player, it's up to the coaches to build up the long term improvements and combinations
