OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Oh boy how I dread tonight's episode of NRL 360, the crap fantasy comments that will arise and the imbecile predictions of where he will end up they love this crap.

 

[tig_prmz]

I'd be interested to see which party was more keen to do the extension. If Tigers kept pushing for him to extend beyond 2026 but he didn't want to- he has every right to do that. I understand we are doing better now, but for a very good young prospect to sign long-term at a shit club, it's a tough decision. And let's not start with the whole loyalty BS- the club will move him on the minute he starts playing shit.

I strongly disagree that it's about the money.

A good, strong decision by the club. We need to plan our halves situation for 2027 now and if Galvin doesn't want to do that, we can all move forward.

I love his fitness and his willingness to compete. He is in the game no matter what, but he definitely does not have the defence, the finesse or the skillset yet to be an elite half. He may develop it under good coaching.

 

[HabboTiger]

I thought Olakau'tau did ask for a release as well...

 

[TigerNeddyK]

It is obvious he has been offered a contract elsewhere. Probably the Chooks or Dogs or even Parra. Although technically illegal I guess mum dad and Moses have been wined and dined by a few of the parasite clubs.

My worry now is TDS

TDS is made of sterner stuff .. he grew up supporting the club, he will be our Hooker for the next 10 years mate

 

[Kelce68]

Who in their camp has the motivation and means to leak it publicly and what does that then say about the power of their position to negotiate?

Reeks of Isaac Moses and Lachlan losing money TBH

What you shared (and good on you for doing so), is hardly the type of messaging a manager would want around the reputation of one of his blue-chip young stars though, it is?

I don't understand how painting Galvin and his family as 'expecting keys to the team and wanting in the vicinity of $2 million' by leaking that information specifically (if it's true) helps Galvin and his image in any way, shape or form.

I think Richo has called their bluff.

 

[Don Kershane]

It is possible Moses has obtained a big long term offer TPA for Lachlan from Ashley and Martin?

 

[user118245]

Olakautu is signed until 2031, unlikely but worth a call

 

[innsaneink]

This is actually pretty disappointing for me. Not so much because it's **** Lachie Galvin**** but more that a 19 year old kid who was a club Jr ( to what ever extent) being offered life changing money says no to a club clearly in a better place then years past.
With richo in charge and a 50/50 win rate it was feeling really good. This just upsets the apple cart yet again. I really hope tigers take the same steps as roosters and don't deal with his slug of a manager any more.
Galvin and his parents have bought into his hype way too much. If he signs for less and then has a horrific injury he is munted.. I obviously 100% am not saying that's what I want to happen.
Anyway I hope the club has a plan and this isn't the first domino to fall that causes a cascade.

Dunno why every club doesnt boycott him...hed be f***ed then

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Olakautu is signed until 2031, unlikely but worth a call

To say what? Congrats on that deal?

 

[jrtiger]

onto the next.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He will be if he picks up a serious injury before this season is through. An ACL or torn pec would destroy his value for next season. Not to mention if it’s a Tuiaki or Alex McKinnon type injury. You never know. It’s idiotic to sit on so much money when this occupation is one that could be taken from you in the blink of an eye.

 

[mikey]

Disappointed but would be punting him to ressies for Latu. No point in developing him for another club. If he goes the Moses mental health issues route give him sessions with a psychologist but no release.

 

[BAGNF05]

onto the next.

Exactly. That’s good money that someone will jump at to play alongside Luai and co. Latu might pull his finger out.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Clearly statement issued as back hander to his manager. Lachy has a couple of years with us to decide his future.

Richo's probably waiting for the avalanche of release requests and opposing clubs divesting themselves of players to fit him in their cap (or not).

 

[Bus 2 Terrigal]

There is absolutely no reason to continue to play him, we're not winning the premiership and why continue to develop him, Latu will do fine and bring back Sullivan to add depth.
I just hope this doesn't have an impact on TDS.

That’s nonsense, he’s clearly our best option at six.
Of course we keep playing him 🥴

 

[Betterdays22]

They said that about Matt Groat and Trent Hodkinson. The guy will not be what he is being made out to be. Seen 500 others in the same position as a teenager.

Lots of teenage stars but not that many who have come straight into grade and had an impact like Galvin. Remember he came straight from school. No Flegg, no Cup. Think Galvin has what it takes to kick on, but now couldn't care less whether he does or doesn't. Latu is and will be the better half.

 

[BAGNF05]

Richo's probably waiting for the avalanche of release requests and opposing clubs divesting themselves of players to fit him in their cap (or not).

No doubt it will be the mental health card given the slimey Moses is involved.

 

[The Chad]

We had too many halves on big money anyway.

As I have said all along- the plan was Latu originally. That's why the Tigers signed him for $500k etc.

Galvin wasn't even the next option.

The club then signed Bud Sullivan for $500k etc

Then...Galvin wasn't even the NEXT option...

The club signed Jerome Luai.

Galvin outworked many to get a shot last year.

But he was never the original plan.

He was, at best, the 4th option in management's eyes.

Signing Galvin to a big contract would have meant a lot of dead cap space from losing Latu & Bud.

Galvin wasn't even the #1 5/8 in Harold Matts when they won the cup.

That was Heath Mason.

All this, and not even mentioning Doueihi.

 

[Bigscreentv]

If he doesn't want to be at the club, you drop him once Latu is better. Galvin is doing what is right for him, and the club needs to build for the future without him.

 

[Darty the winger]

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.

Agree- He will look good for the magpies
