OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[BAGNF05]

I agree with you. I just think galvin will be a more consistent player like a Munster but with clearys cool head long term. IMHO

Hope so mate. Definitely has some Munster likeness in his game.

 

[Tucker]

lol. You’re cooked. We don’t know what we have haha.

He’s gonna be like Brady was in the NFL

He’ll be the goat !!!

Big string fast fit hungry amazing ball passes and skills and goes after a game and super competitive. He’ll command $1.3m a season on open market come November 1

Lol cut it out.

 

[lathami]

Galvin is a smarter player. Benji was quicker.

That’s not saying much, Glen Lazarus was quicker than Galvin!

Unless he finds an injection of speed ....he will struggle on a consistent basis

 

[BAGNF05]

Darren Lockyer was never express, five eighth is about guile and defense more than pace.

 

[SwervinMervin]

100%… benji has the best highlight reel of any player in history by so far it’s not funny!

Love Benji

No kid ever played footy in the back yard wanting to be Cameron Smith! Thousands tried to copy Benj. No one ever bought a ticket to a game to see Cameron Smith play, but the turnstiles would spin to see Benj. Smith may well be named an immortal this week, and no argument from me if he is, but as far as influence goes Benji has him covered.

 

[J.T]

I think some of you are being a bit harsh on his speed. Making it sound like he's the slowest out there. I know he's not express but he is hardly a snail. He is often there in support when breaks have been made by the likes of Bula

 

[yeti]

I think you're dead set Dreaming....
The rest of the Squad is Dogsh*t and Luai isn't improving that...
We're 4 Signings away from being competitive.

Galvin is a Franchise Player, And we've already bought ours - for 5 years....

As painful as it is, in reality - We may as well let him go now.
Weather it's now,
Or in 12 months when he signs elsewhere makes no difference to our 25 (And probably 26)

That's one of the most ridiculous posts I've read in a long time. "We may as well let him go now"! Really? Nuts!

I agree … but if I was picking a team and I had to pick either Benji or cam smith I would take cam smith

 

[balmain boy]

In my mind, a first grader is someone who’s bad game is a 7/10. They always play consistently even when the team is performing poorly. I think we have 7-8 first graders at our club and some young players trending that way.

No, someone who's bad game is a 7 is a superstar of the game. Regular first graders still have bad days at the office. Everyone does really

 

[balmain boy]

Anyway I’m talking to the club about 3rd party deals to keep galvin - that’s how much I believe in this kid

Everyone’s wanting to bag him is cool

But if he leaves it’ll be bigger than teddy and moses

Are we setting up a Forum GoFundMe?

 

[upthetigers]

How would you compare Galvin's debut season to Sam Walker?

 

[The Chad]

Cool. That doesn't disprove my idea that if we then keep the others I named that the club is not going to go into meltdown.

I'll give you a tip- all the young talent coming through- the club won't keep them all.

But, if they keep a good chunk, and in key positions- we are good.

Remember that the club chased & paid really good money for Latu Fainu- and they already had Galvin in the club prior to that. Someone rates him.

 

[The Chad]

Only two of those guys have proven they are long term first graders though. Not saying the others won’t be, but there’s no evidence yet.

Yes, to a degree.

Point being, despite having Galvin on the books, the club chased & paid good money to get Latu Fainu to do the same job.

For 5 years.

Then signed Luai to do that job alongside him, for 5 years.

While Galvin was on the books.

Then you've got young Large coming through with enormous wraps on him as well.

Luai is a lock. That leaves 3 talented players fighting for 1 spot. Unless all football judges are dumb, at least one of these guys could, and probably will, leave & we are still left with highly talented options.

 

[The Chad]

So who are the top 2 , it can’t be anyone playing in NSW cup , for a kid in his 1st year playing behind a headshit pack I think he is so far in front of anyone else at our club

Could be argued that the club itself doesn't have Galvin top of the list.

Galvin was on the roster last season.

Then the club signed Latu Fainu to play the same role.

Then the club added Luai to play that role too.

Both guys signed for 5 years.

No doubt Galvin has had a good first season. But injury put Fainu behind Galvin. Galvin took that opportunity & ran with it. Fainu hasn't been lucky enough to string enough games together to have that impact.

All good for Galvin.

But that doesn't disprove that the club, with Galvin in hand, signed 2 players to 5 year deals to play his spot.

Is Galvin the beneficiary of recency over ability right now?

 

[Buttface]

How would you compare Galvin's debut season to Sam Walker?

Good question.
I’m not sure I seen enough of Sam’s debut year, but from what I did see, and the team he had around him, I reckon I’m happy with Gal. Didn’t he have some issues and got dropped a couple of times?

 

[Tucker]

I agree … but if I was picking a team and I had to pick either Benji or cam smith I would take cam smith

If you wanted to play top tier football with a high success rate you would.

 

[Tucker]

How would you compare Galvin's debut season to Sam Walker?

Walker was far better.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Everyone questioning me is missing the point lol

When as a fan did you ever feel like the tigers were a storm or roosters side when Benji was playing even in the best years?

We would never smash a team and finish them off

We would always let a lead slip

He was just not consistent

Again I’ll say he has the best highlights of any player bar none by a country mile but he’s not in the same league as cronk, Munster, etc bc with Benji and Robbie’s talent in the team we should’ve been in the finals ever year they were fit and we weren’t

Agree a lot.

Benji coulda got us to finals one year, playing the sharks late in a game. All he had to do was pass through the hands yet he chose to grubber it dead on the third.

He also failed to kick for touch way too many times for an elite half. Inexcusable really.

He was exciting at his best. Achieved a lot in his career but he was a flash in the pan compared to Smith, Cronk, Thurston, Slater, Teddy. etc etc etc.
