OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Snidest 0]

He does seem way way ahead of his time... Like a gifted student... 12 yo studying uni.
Several instances on field and either in. Interview etc... He seems.like he's been playing nrl For years.
He needs a great coach I think he has the potential to be a great player... Unfortunately he won't get that coaching here.
It's remarkable what can happen... my son made reps in cricket at about 14yo and the coach simply and quickly pointed out a few things both bowling and batting he was doing wrong... Improved his game immensely

100% in regards to how a good technical coach can make a good player into a much better technician as per your son.

But I wouldn't be suggesting that Benji lacks the technical rugby league nous - and I am sure his message is more about managing Galvin's role in the current team.

Sheens always said that he was able to technically speak about plays/tactics etc in "rugby league shorthand" to Benji & Robbie (among a handful from the 2005 class) - when many of their team mates did not have that level of understanding at that stage.

So it was about keeping everyone on the same page - without dumbing down the quality of the attacking football!

Benji would definitely be working on Lachlan's individual skills and play-making/reading - but "keep it simple" is the exact advice that Wayne Bennett would also be providing the kid IMHO - so not sure the pot shots at our coaching staff are necessary!

In one of Benji’s pressers he said that Lachie was always talking very technically about attacking options. Benji said he told Lachie to just keep it simple and not get too technical. I understand that but I thought this might be an issue. Some players no matter what their age are far more advanced with footy IQ. I actually felt at the time Benji should back him instead of restricting him. As long as Moses is his manager he won’t be here when his contract is up. I hope Benji just backs him in a little more for the back end of the season. The kid can play and hopefully its long term with us but I have zero confidence he stays.

Probably felt the players around him would have no f… idea

Just on 9, the tenures of the contracts of Galvin and Strange were mentioned. It was in the context of Manu leaving and Fittler mentioned the Roosters will be on the lookout for a 5/8. I think the father of Strange works at the Roosters.

Ethan Strange only recently re-signed with the Raiders until the end of 2027 I think,

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Damn. Who is this guy??? WTF. Unbelievable.

John strange, young strange was in the Roosters system and couldn't get a run

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Now that's pretty strange....

 

[The Chad]

Now THAT, was his best game.

Strange is a great player too but geez we kept him quiet today

He had a bit of an off day.
The kid is a weapon though and will have a long career

 

[Todd Packer]

This kid is something special.
Forget the Brooks PTSD that we all suffer from, waiting for Galvin to be another false dawn.
We've got a very special player here. Richo needs to make sure he stays here.

Yesterday is exactly the type of day he and his family needed. Home crowd at Cambo going nuts. I was hoping he kissed the Tiger emblem when he scored, but maybe we are a little off that yet.

He straightened up a lot more yesterday which allowed Fainu and Doueihi to hit holes. I wanted Sezer on the left for two reasons, 1 he is batter at doing the above and 2, Galvin most likely will be on the right next year when Luai comes so move him now. However he showed some development yesterday from being all instinct and effort, to actually thinking about his body positioning engaging the line. Very good.

Galvin appears to be a natural ball player and has time to make the play. His height and long stride give him imo a huge advantage.

Good Hearing Galvin's proud Grandfather Laurie call SEN1170 Voss and Brandy this morning.

Such a nice guy.

I agree…

They need to do something to get him to extend …even if it’s just 1 more year .. they should be playing for time at the moment … as he is potentially able to talk to other clubs come November 2025 which can pass by quickly …

So what we know is that they offered him an extension already …would be interested to know the details … it appears this was declined ..so he must still be on pretty crap money in 25 and 26… offer him upgrades both years and big money in return for staying for 27…he will still only be 22 then..

hopefully by then the tide has turned and they are winning a lot more games than they lose..

100% - hopefully people get off his back and enjoy the next 2 seasons.
Loved his response on Matty Johns show as well when quizzed, they asked him like 2nd or 3rd question after his game which was bonkers but he didn’t hesitate, is here for next few years and wants to win here.

 

[Strider]

Will be interesting to see what they do with Latu and Galvin if they are both firing in the halves next year

My view is let him play footy and get his head right away from anything contract related for rest of the year.

Get Luai here and during preseason focus hard to extend him then.

THE SEVEN WORDS THAT TIGERS FANS WILL LOVE TO HEAR

It was just a couple of weeks ago that Tigers rising star Lachlan Galvin was reportedly agitating for an early release from a club who had just dropped their ninth straight game.

However after a meeting with Galvin’s parents, CEO Shane Richardson last week revealed the rookie was committed to the club.

Galvin missed last week’s win over the Titans with a hand injury he had been dealing with this season, but returned for Sunday’s upset win over the Raiders.

The 18-year-old was prolific against Canberra, scoring two tries and setting up another as the inexperienced Tigers ran riot at Campbelltown Stadium, showing that there is plenty that the club’s fans should be excited about.

What should also please the passionate faithful of the Tigers are Galvin’s post-match comments regarding whether he’ll honour the deal he has until the end of the 2026 season, specifically about wanting to help alter the fortunes of the club.

“100%. I’m going to see out my contract and I want to change this club around and be a West Tiger,” Galvin said.

Those seven words — “I want to change this club around” — is sure to be a comforting message for Tigers fans.

His coach Benji Marshall lauded the young gun’s ability to perform well in spite of all the outside noise.

“Everyone knows what Lachie offers. He showed that from the outset when he runs the footy he’s pretty dangerous,” Marshall said.

“Some people are just footy players and we see it at training every week. To have his presence out there and have his energy is great.
