OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

If he is going around telling everyone that he wants out, then how does that not end with a blow up from another player? Surely Api or someone would have told him to shut up

Yah would love to know more about this if true...

Not sure why he doesn't come out and squash at least this part of the story, even if he wants to go - just doesn't make him look good at all.

If this was true, why would Richo even be fighting to keep that kind of locker room cancer about?

It's career suicide if true.

Can never believe buzz but surely he must have some kind of evidence/good source to say something like this. Would it be possible for a player to sue him if it was made up? Saying something like this can really damage a career & a young guys mental health (if it’s not true)
 
I think regardless of whether Galvin wants to leave or not the club needs to put a line in the sand and hold him here for the next two seasons, I firmly believe Richo will do this. Promote Latu into the halves when he is fit and Galvin can play KOE, unless he changes his mind. I personally think Latu will turn out to be the better player anyhow.

It's in the playbook. The manager gets the journo to put it out there, the player keeps quiet on the whole thing whilst the manager and club sort it out in the background. Then the player (or manager in the case of Moses) gets what he wants. Then the player finally speaks to the media and says "I love this club and always wanted to stay" or "I love this club and wanted to stay but...."
The thing here is that Richo has admitted that they asked for a release so that should be interesting
 
If Galvin rejects the clubs extension and pushes hard enough he will get his release. They always do, bar Ben Hunt most players if they agitate hard enough they get what they want.

We have to be smart about it if a release is granted and get a deal done and get a young quality player who wants to play NRL and not do a dummy spit the first time things go wrong

Would be interesting to know what triggered Hunts change of mind.
Galvin is a different proposition though, isn’t he, because of his age and low contract.
Richo‘s carrot of increase in term and amount on the contract is the only way we can go then hope for Stockholm syndrome to kick in? 😜

My view is we must stand our ground on this and it’s bigger than Galvin. He needs to stay the 2yrs.

We have a heap of kids coming through & signed it’s important the kids know if they sign we will stand our ground if they become superstars.

Hynes at the Storm was on minimum payments before shifting to the Sharks, they stood firm despite a heap of requests. Grant also with us they stood firm. Pezet and few others are same bucket. Other clubs do it - we must as well.

The thing with this is we have delivered on each of our promises to the kid & it still hasn’t been enough. He needs to deliver on his promise. We can’t be viewed a shop window club.

How implausible is Galvin telling multiple people he can't wait to get out in the dressing room after a game?

Agree , when I played if a team mate did that , walked around saying he can’t wait to leave , 100% one of my team mates would have either abused him or belted him , maybe he did say it to one players on the side and that player leaked it or his manager is blowing it up , either way Benji and Richo would know exactly what went down and need to come out if untrue and take a huge swipe at Buzz and co , this is starting to become childish from media and the club , get it sorted , if true he needs to be dumped into reserve grade for 2 years , disrespect our club pay the price , he’s cheap so stuff him.

It was simple, Flanno said he wasn’t going to release him.

Previously players and agents knew if they sooked we would let them go, I will be surprised if Richo or Benji are a walkover. This is their 1st significant player management test.

100% we need a replacement or 2 in positions we need filled
lock , back rower , Prop , Wing , Centre , Should be easy there is 5 options , if it’s roosters or Penrith it’s 2 players and 2 of the very best reserve graders , not young kids we already got to many , need to build with previous experience not kids , it ain’t working

Flano said no to the release, so he signed on for another year?
You don’t suppose his contract was upgraded or some other carrot introduced?
I think some players ask for a contract upgrade and perhaps are not taken seriously or clubs are slow to react, hence the threats to leave as a motivator?
Both Galvin and Hunt are similar in that they both are crucial to their teams success, so it’s understandable

If he stays the two years … he has gotta be playing first grade to want to keep him ..

If his attitude doesn’t change and he prefers to play NSW Cup .. you may as well trade him at least 1 year early and try to get something for him …

I’m hoping that he might change his attitude when JL arrives … they still have to start winning though

Sure to be a smash hit... Don't have to attend any mind numbingly bad WTs games

I doubt Galvin will be there at the members day ... Imo half of this"he's having a rest" crap is to have a decent reason to protect him from this... It was either this or one of those perspex cage /barrier things taxi drivers have for protection
Click to expand...
Ink, that is pure genius, if the kid wants out or needs to have a rest he can sit out the rest of his contract here driving taxis all wrapped up safe in his perspex cocoon, no need to play footy and risk getting injured or worse still, lose games that may mentally affect him.

In the meantime his Financial Manager/Minder Moses can also reap the benefit of getting 10-15% right off the top of taxi fares and tips that the young bloke makes in addition to his Wests Tigers contract money.

He will be in tip top physical and mental condition by the time that his Wests Tigers contract has expired and he will be ready to accept new contract offers.

Personally, I just can't imagine the kid screaming and whining about wanting out of a contract after a game for the world to hear, maybe we should have presented him with a participation award or needled him up with a sedative to calm him down

Have to admit I thought he looked like a good kid, but then as they say, looks can be deceiving.

And this is the issue. Broncos secured a $500k transfer fee from the Bulldogs for Karl Oloapu. If he leaves early, WT needs to be compensated.
