OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Rock Hopper Steve]

A $10m contract could be worth $700k to an agent. It doesn’t really matter what’s real or not, it’s what matters that matters.

You know my feelings on player managers T you read the forum a lot, a blight on the game.

 

[liltiger]

You're right about this.

The more I think about it, it plays into Galvin to #13 narrative. A Liam Fulton type, ball playing lock, who can defend like there's no tomorrow because he has a huge motor...

Then Luai and Latu in the halves to control the game's direction.

It alleviates the pressure on Galvin to control the game, because more often than not he plays off the cuff which can screw up our structure.

OK I'm sold. Galvin to #13.

I'm the same, I think he's a lock eventually, an Isaiah Yeo type, perfect link player who can also be used as a foil for the halves if somethings on. Fainu to 6 Luai at 7. With a spine of Dasilva, Fainu, Bula, Luai and Galvin we could build an awesome squad around them 5. We would have an awesome team, problem is convincing Galvin of that. He prob wants to stay in the halves. But I'm sure he said somewhere once he sees himself in the second row at some stage, I can't really remember properly.

Luai is out this week & I expect the Broncos to roll us as a result.

Average play so far or not- he is a player that needs to be accounted for & gives the team the greatest chance of success.

Suggesting he plays KOE is purely shenanigans.

Like someone else posted somewhere on the forum, what we don't see is all the talk and organising the lads and directing things with his leadership. We can't replace that, it's looking more likely Penrith might not be able to aswell.

There's no 85kg number 13's playing NRL He's about 30 kg lighter than Yeo. I think that comparison, or fantasy, needs to stop.

I’m not sure Galvin will fill out either. His Dad is still quite slender.

People assume that because he's tall he will fill out. It doesn't work like that.

As ink said above. Danny Weidler saying it's hard to get word out of Tigers camp but they think 5mil/5years.
Also says the Roosters are not interested due to his manager.
Gould says he hopes Galvin stays.

The Roosters are always interested. They will arrange an intermediary, just like Minichello with Tedesco, to do the deal. In that way they can claim they don't deal with him.

Hard to get word out of WTs' camp but think

 

[upthetigers]

If you want Galvin to die, put him in the forwards.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The injection of pace from Fainu in that try is badly needed in the halves.

 

[SeanT]

Tbh the halves will sort itself out. I'm happy the attack goes of API/Talyn.

Bula and Luai. Galvin or Fainu. If Galvin is a million then see you later. Don't pay that to any 5/8th

Didn't work out well for Parra.

 

[SeanT]

Didn't work out well for Parra.

Dylan Brown is worth 700k max. For his running game. Knights trying to make him a halfback lol. Look at Brooks and Shaun Johnson. Not Halfbacks never were but coaches kept putting them there.

Newcastle will not win a premiership in the next 10 years . Shame because don't mind the place and the fans are genuine.

As much as i'd like Galvin to stay im not 100% comfortable with the 1mil figure being thrown around. This constant speculation from a 19yr old is a bit much, release after release now supposedly 1mil a season doesn't sit well.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I don't agree with the commentary around Brown at all.

If the guy up your street gets a crazy price for your house, that's nice, but it doesn't mean that everyone else in the street can now ask for the same money and that other buyers will be compelled to be offering crazy money.

Knights wanted Dylan Brown, they were desperate to make it happen and they've offered huge money. That does not automatically confer onto all other halves in the comp, especially because Brown is not a proven winner nor a rep player.

Of course but it depends on the street…halves are like having harbour views atm

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I’m hearing that Wedler journos is saying. 5 year deal $ 5 million and Galvin will still go to market , what would that tell us , he wants more or he wants out

He was always going to market.

If true I’m happy we’ve come out early with a more than fair offer because we can plan and move on without being held to ransom.

 

[SeanT]

Of course but it depends on the street…halves are like having harbour views atm

A halfback is. Not a 5/8th. Look at Luai. He will never win a Daly m. But he's solid. Offence and defence. He is a 5/8th at heart but like I say if you base your attack around the hooker it's irrelevant.

 

[TCL]

you mean to lock??

Yes and no, yes I think he could be a good lock. No, I think if he signs a big contract with us and we don’t make the 8 or if he goes elsewhere for big money and doesn’t make a mark he will quickly earn the overrated tag. There already a few who think he is overhyped and I’m one of them. Short step from over hyped to overrated.

I think he is an energy player who has some great moments and at times has some dud plays but he is young and learning. I would really like to see him stay and would be ok with the club bumping his contract up for this year and next and then what ever after that. If he is killing it then great he is earning his keep, if not either the player or club will want out and now days either one will find a way to break contract.

As I’ve said before there is a lot of football to be played between now and the end of the year let alone end of his contract.

 

[crazycat]

if we don't offer top dollar someone else will, and he'll go. We've won 3 spoons in a row we can't afford to let good players walk.

Market is too crazy now for halves in my opinion

I think the market is actually tougher in forwards.

Halfbacks, yes hard to get. Galvin is NOT a halfback.

He is a half, someone who can kinda play in the spine.
Not a replacement for: Cleary, DCE, Reynolds, Fogarty, etc.


Look, we will overpay Galvin by 200-300k. He will stay, we will get a solid but not brillant performance out of him. ...

I just hope we can move his position when a real GUN comes and wants to play 5/8.

 

[hodgo]

i guess the big question is if we offer 5 mil for 5 years and he says no do we fast track latu? I think i would galvin can play centre or bench or reggies. In saying that i hope he stays

100%

Hope he stays. But if he is gone, he doesn't get to keep his prefered position.
