OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

We should’ve extended him after his first game

He was always going to be upset that Latu and sullivan were on higher deals

If this is true and we just made an offer now we’re idiots.

Now we’re gonna have to pay overs to
Extend bc he’s not happy
Here anymore

Would’ve extended him when he was in love with Benji

I reckon there’s a 50% chance he won’t extend even if money is great now
Yep he will want Bud money now $ 500 k min per season and over probably 4 years
 
Isaac Moses 101.

a player (Simpkin) on his roster is released to another club, which frees up cap space at the original club. to ensure that cap space isn’t going anywhere else but straight back into his and his client’s pocket, he does the most extreme thing possible: A release request and tells his mates in the media to blow it out of proportion to ensure the upgrade and extension (which Richardson was planning to do anyway) is tied up quickly.

the result? an upgrade and extension for manager and client. a parasite of the highest order, but a smart one to boot.
Really good post. I enjoyed reading it.
 
I’m convinced you are just trolling nowadays mate ? Do you actually want the Tigers to win or do you just like upsetting the people on this forum ? Seriously mate you cannot understand Fans wanting their 18 year old 5/8 that is only playing there because we are a weak clun to at least finish his rookie season without trying to break a three year contract after just 8 games that he has played because we gave him an opportunity to be part of a rebuild ? Seriously do you not understand that some of us would appreciate seeing just a smidgen of commitment to his team and his teammates? That if he sees himself as a star then he sees he can help the club become a winning club because we have him at 5/8 ?? FFS a bit of team spirit and giving back to the team is how champion teams are made , no I in team mate !
Champions like Chris Lawrence took a paycut to stay at the club. Then you have wankers like this who's had a couple good games and now thinks he's worth a million dollars.
 
To be fair, if I'm on 200k and playing the main role ahead of 2 guys on more more money, Sullivan around 500k and Fainu 300k increasing each year, I'd want my contract revised too.the problem is the way Moses goes about it and the way the player allows him to go about. All dogs really, Moses, Galvin and his parents. Do it the right way and I'm sure Richardson takes care of him. Piss em all off
 
If we can get rid of Sullivan, it won't matter if he's upgraded. It's a like for like swap on the cap.

We will have some wiggle room anyway with some players not being re-signed and perhaps some releases. Not ideal, but not the end of the world either. The kid is worth it.

If the noise around Brandon Smith/Roosters has any legs, He would be a great pickup for lock/hooker rotation like he played at Melbourne.
 
  • Wow
Reactions: BZN
It's about money - currently he is signed for 3 years on a good deal financially for us, he wants a release to sign a new deal reflecting his nrl future star status. We hold the cards because we can pay him more for the next 2.5 yrs or not but no one else can - for that we meet part way and pay him more but in return we get to extend out another year or 2 at the new rate.
Smartest comment on here for a while. Keeping young players at a bad club is always upgrading and extending early.
 
Only way you let this one go is by getting something in return. I would be absolutely fuming if Galvin left to Penrith or Roosters and we didn’t get a decent player in return.

As many pointed out though, I do expect he will stay and be upgraded which really isn’t all that bad.
 
It's still pretty bizarre.

"I want out"
"ok we will lock you down for another year or two, sign here".

But seeing through this. Issac Moses I reckon doesn't rate Galvin. Seriously if Moses thought Galvin was the next Nathan Cleary or something he would never let his player get locked down.

He would keep him open to accept the crazy 1.2 or 1.5m deal the NRL would have to offer. Instead we see Moses wanting to lock up Galvin and pushing Galvin to do a long term commitment deal here.

Not saying Galvin is or isn't a good player. I am saying Moses is getting is player trapped here so he can make the most money out of him.

Nuh his extension will not come cheap, probably near the 500-600k for next season and increasing based on performance objectives.

You can safely assume he will be on 800k+ if he plays SOO or for his country.
 
I don't like the idea of needling up an 18yo week on week, especially when there is nothing much on the line, so am much happier now that they are finally resting his hand.

Funny how so many are talking about our glut of halves, yet it seems we will only have any of them available this weekend because Sezer has completed his suspension.
