OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[clontarfkid]

Totally agree. Bula is also managed by Isaac Moses. It will be interesting to see how this all develops.

Same problem a year later,but cross that bridge when we come to it

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Based on the state the club is in, why blame him?

What state is that? All I have heard for the last year is how professional we have become under Richo. One thing we can do though is add him to a growing list that consists of Ice, Bateman and Stef. Guys that were happy to abandon the club mid-contract.

 

[Telltails]

Lots of anti- Galvin posts in this thread.

My understanding of this situation is that Tigers wanted him to sign 5 years now or leave at the end of 2027. He chose to leave. Based on the state the club is in, why blame him? He will be in high demand for sure, and forget the high demand, I don't blame any player for not committing long term at the Tigers based on our history.

Tigers are right in asking him to commit now so that they can plan for 2027 and beyond. I feel we should have upgraded him and give him a year or two extension and if he doesn't sign that either, then move him on.

I'm not filthy at him - I think he and his family are delusional - but totally against developing him any further at the expense of another player who would jump at an offer half as much as the club was prepared to offer Galvin.
There is no way that he can be good for culture now - a club that wants to rid itself of the loser mentality Iining up next to a player who is not buying in.

Interchange latu and Galvin in the 17 whilstever we are in contention for the 8
As soon as we aren't. And/or Latu looks better,.give Latu every starting opportunity.

This is how I think he should be managed. Latu needs to be given every opportunity, as soon as he is fit, as he's the one who is staying and who we'll be building the team around.

This is classic Issac Moses at play and of course the Galvins have also shown their true colurs.

1) Moses was only ever going to advise Galvin to test the market....Why, 'cause Moses has already done so and lined up suitors such as Gus, Roosters and Manly.
2) The Galvin's , Lachie included, was just bluffing us with statements that he wants to be part of the Tigers future....blah blah blah....complete rubbish and straight from the Aaron Woods playbook.
3) Galvin will never have it as good as he currently has.....There will not be another Benji Coach, a coach that has shown complete faith in the kid. There won't be another Luai, a 4 time premiership winner to mentor him.
4) He will always be considered as the "favoured one" with other clubs. Players won't gell with him, due to how he is perceived


As for the future....It's time to put out the Galvin spotlight and attention...I'd be doing this.

1) As soon as Latu is available, play him alongside Luai and develop him as our long term 6.
2) Play Galvin at Lock, Centre or KOE...Galvin can now take the "Latu where to play him" mantle.
3) Galvin is on cheap coin, keep hiom at the club till the end of 2026, play him out of the top 17 or on the fringe and watch his star and media attention fade out.
3) I'd be signing Da-Silva, and all 3 Fainu's to 5 year contracts NOW!.

Richo and Benji have played this out very well....the previous Management would've fluffed it for sure.

Does Galvin deserve to be booed at all future home games...?.....100%!

Did I hear someone say "who is Lachlan Galvin"?....We will be right folks, luckily we have Latu and even Bud Sullivan as good #6's.

Option is to go with Naden (once fit) with Toa in the centres, shift AD into 5/8 until Latu is fit and focus development on Latu. Galvin to bench. Perhaps not in 2025 season but as they go into 2026 preseason you can’t have Galvin tying up a starting 13 spine position and not should he be let go early. Where do find a backup half or bench for the price we get him for 2026.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I reckon there is almost zero per cent chance he is here in 26. He’ll sign elsewhere in November, we’ll prioritise Latu and his new club will ask for an early release.

I’m good with this as long as we take a quality player from them or they pay us a transfer fee of $ 200 k

 

[TYGA]

Roll with the punches unfortunately Moses has form. Tigers well run under Richo have cap space and he can be swapped this year. Playing out the contract is pointless get a rep player in return and let him go when Fainu is back. Left field option is Katoa from Dolphins who wants out.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

This is how I think he should be managed. Latu needs to be given every opportunity, as soon as he is fit, as he's the one who is staying and who we'll be building the team around.

and latu might not be the answer either but we need to know that too
perhaps galvin can share a second row spot with seyfarth ?

 

[Snidest 0]

Well, rejecting the offer to test the waters doesn't mean he's not going. However, if the kid doesn't start playing like he did last year at least, he, his parents and Isaac Moses may have wished they did sign our deal now as he may not be worth the money on offer by November.

The kid, unfortunately, has the wrong people in his ear. We should do what the Roosters have done and not deal with Isaac Moses.

It is a myth that the Roosters refuse to deal with Moses!

Politis won't talk to him directly - but if they want one of his clients they deal with the management company Cove Agency via one of Isaac's underlings...

Do you sincerely believe the Roosters are not in contention for Galvin's signature because they refuse to deal with Moses?

 

[Suzie-Q]

Exactly. Latu needs to be given time for us to find out.

Yeah, it’s totally not like this club to grant players releases from their contracts and not get anything in return.

 

[old_man_tiger]

The Mitchell/Isaac Moses playbook is:

*anker - won't commit, lots of look at me plays, name everywhere in the media (no accident)
Banker - takes a deal elsewhere for "less" (yeh right)
Tanker - hoping Lachie stays at 2 out of 3

the worst bit will be hearing Moses mates at fox glaze Galvin over and over, even when we aren't playing haha

Need to figure out how to sync ABC radio commentary to Kayo

There is no way Gus will pay Galvin close to 2 million a year

He will be lucky to get 1 million at the dogs.

FWIW I’m told Panthers deal agreed to a while ago. Take with a grain of salt 🧂 time will tell.

 

[426Tlgerland]

The club statement says otherwise. Too many emotions flowing on here. We have two years with a quality developing spine, including Galvin.

You can’t include a player leaving as a quality developing spine , you develop it over next 11/2 years only to loose one of the main players and also risk loosing your back up in Latu , dump him

 

[BAGNF05]

he is not a 6 either …he has got no pace and the other teams have worked him out when he has ball in hand

He’s got a few try assists for a guy who is “worked out” At 19. He’ll have a long successful career wherever he ends up.

What about Blaize?

 

[rex2ce]

Me too.
I now officially hate Lachy.
Make him play nsw cup at #13 for the next 2 years.
Do not release him early

The club needs to have a top psychiatrist on standby to treat the inevitable mental issues he’s bound to experience being made stay here

 

[TheGreenWookie]

Disappointing Monday news to hear.

Even if we finish top 4 (miraculously), I can't see him reconsidering his decision. It's clearer more than ever he is chasing the big bucks.

This news will send shockwaves through every other club. They all will be considering him at some capacity, players will be released early. Could be a blessing in disguise, let's see who drops from the contract tree.

Exciting times ahead! I have full faith in our administration and football department to navigate us forward.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

What about Blaize?

Been exposed big time so far this year.
