OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.
- Thread starter ancient_magpie
- Start date
This is like the Luai and Mitch Moses connection.
I don't see Brian to'o at the tigers with luai, or Crichton, or leinu... You get my drift.
TDs also knows he isn't a 80min first grade player yet and his happy to learn his trade under API.
Watch this space, I reckon TDS resigns in the next few months.
Wow there's a lot to unpack in that SMH article. Seems odd that a young man a handful of games into his second season of top grade football thinks he's able to judge the merits of a coach who's basically been involved with the NRL for over 20 years.
There's some not overly subtle suggestions that Galvin isn't a popular figure amongst the group. Respected perhaps but not liked. Luai on the other hand has been a revelation. Not so much for his onfield performances which I would rate as solid rather than brilliant but the way he conducts himself. Pure class and the mentality of a winner. I don't think Pole clicked the like button by mistake.
Bottom line, for a newcomer Galvin is acting like a veteran who's seen it all. Here we less than 14 months on from his debut and we've had demands for playing time assurances, an alleged dressing room blow-up, release requests and now his opinion that his coach isn't up to his standards. All of this maybe be true or parts of it but the general vibe is hard to escape. Would I prefer he was staying? Of course, kid can play. But there's some troubling signs he thinks he's bigger than the team. His attitude compared to Luai, May and Turuva, is striking. Entitlement v professionalism.

It doesn't need to be tenable. Train with KOE and play with KOE. End of story.
No stress lad.
Of late, we seem to always come out on top.
I've seen you putting support behind Latu, for some time now.
Foresight.
Fainu whānau / Wests Tigers.

Teddy changed his manager to Isaacs nemesis. At the behest of the roosters management .
I hope so, fk him
Use him as we need him rather than how he wants to be used. If that means centre or second row when Fainu is fit and 5/8 when he's not, so be it. Gloves are off and there's no point trying to butter him up anymore.

I can't see that even being remotely true, i can however see Luai and a few of the poly boys not really gelling with him after his antics.
Let's just pretend for a second there is truth to it, there's no way we would be or even consider being held to ransom by a 19 yr old upstart.
Murmurings of Luai seeing more in Latu then Galvin i can actually see, Luai is asked about Galvin ad nauseum and mostly flat bats his comments.

Love your input mate but we made a statement saying he won't be here
It means we are moving on and once we sign a new long term permanent half/ give eight that there is no longer any room for him
That means we are now looking elsewhere and as soon as we find that person (hopefully latu) it is finalised and than is over
One less bargaining chip for him
Did Galvin expect this response from tigers?
Who knows who cares?
He was offered overs and told us to get f###ed
Enough said mate
Better 100 enemies outside the house, than 1 inside the house.
We see you, Galvin.
We see you, Galvin.
Exactly !
From the SMH article
While Galvin and Luai are civil, they don’t share a close bond and Galvin is understood to have been frustrated by the impact of being asked to play second fiddle to the four-time premiership-winning playmaker.
Luai also has a high opinion of back-up five-eighth Latu Fainu, who is currently unavailable after undergoing surgery on his thumb last week.
Galvin is upset he is playing 2nd fiddle to Luai??
Hahahahahaha
On ya bike mate

I can’t see a world where Galvin is here in 2026. Club should be leveraging Galvin to improve the roster elsewhere.
If Manly want Galvin, ask for Olakau’atu
If the Roosters, ask for Wong
If the Dogs, ask for Preston
If the Eels, ask for Penisini

.Galvin’s seed of uncertainty with the Wests Tigers dates back to his junior days at the club, when he was often used as a back-rower despite his belief he best belonged in a No.6 jersey
Those doubts about the club only intensified in the summer of 2023, when the Tigers signed Latu Fainu, Jayden Sullivan and Jarome Luai on long and lucrative deals in a move that was interpreted as a lack of faith in Galvin.
Haha how self entitled is he

Galvin should play NRL until Latu is fit and ready to return.
Once Latu is fit and ready to return then Galvin should be dropped
to reserve grade until his time is up at The Wests Tigers.

It makes me question whether he will still continue to perform or have a don’t give a shit attitude like Mitchell Moses did when he was leaving, otherwise reggies is around the corner.
