Glad we can now put this rubbish to bed once and for all. He was never going to base the next 5 or 6 years of his career around whether we won a few games this year. It was people grasping at straws. It’s been obvious since midway through last year that he wanted out. Now it’s official, we can stop deluding ourselves and move on with life.
 
Hmm well my opinion of LG just nosedived. I get players come and go and money gets offered etc but we’ve bent over backwards to give the kid a start and keep him sweet and now we’re told they won’t even consider our offer. To be frank we are only owe him what suits the club and if that’s Latu Fainu well LG can kick stones.

I’ll be annoyed if he ends up at Belmore given Gus uses his media gigs to blatantly message Galvin his intentions.

You don't punish Galvin for signing elsewhere- that opens the club up for questions of bias & isn't a good look for the players at the club for future contract deals.

You let Galvin's play determine if he's in 1st grade or not.

If he plays well- you pick him.

If he is outplayed- you pick the guy that outplays him.

It is now up to Galvin as to what grade he plays. I wouldn't even consider releasing him. If he rides the KOE pine, he's not sinking the club's salary cap. He doesn't have that hanging over the club.

It's in his best interest to play well.

But now the leash is short, and there are options if he doesn't perform.

I guess he has what 6-8 weeks to perform or is replaced by a rehabilitating Latu.

is it possible that the club will change it's mind or is it done?

The club made an annoucement saying he was gone and going back from that announcement would have dire consequences for our credibility.The man in the silly hat is no longer with us so i can see zero backtracking.To have and keep credibility as a club is paramount as it will always pay off long term.

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.

But then you’re just paying extra for a player who was always going to leave and not using the opportunity to develop someone else in the mean time.

I actually don't think he's going to the Dogs.

DCE though...

Dogs are in "Win Now" mode

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.

According to the release he’s not even interested in negotiating. He’s basically telegraphed he doesn’t believe the club is going anywhere. It’s a giant middle finger to the club and it’s supporters.

If that’s your (Galvin’s) starting position then don’t sign at all. Why join a club you don’t see a future with? Makes you look like an opportunistic arsehole.

You gotta understand, to most players, footy is a business, they're not invested the way fans are

A million different players sign to clubs, and then move after a few years. It's always happened and it always will.

As long as he puts in on the field, I can't be mad at him.

Considering how far we have come over the last 18 months its incredible. Richo has pretty much done everything Galvin 's camp wanted and we have a very up and coming team.

Fans are going to be giving it to him and rightly so. We are good enough to promote you to top grade before any other club and give you the keys to the team basically and this is how you treat your so-called Mates. Bye and don't let the door hit you on the way-out IMO

Yeah I do understand how things work. I’m saying if you’re starting position is you don’t rate the club you’re joining, it opens yourself up to the assessment I made. He’s perfectly entitled to be an arsehole if he so chooses and indeed has. I’m entitled to think he’s a prick.

I can guarantee you his team mates don't think the same, they understand it

You've never left a job for more money or a potential of a higher position? It's just business.

But yes, you can think whatever you like of him lol

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?

No because Sam Walker is a better half.
