OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Give him the #18 jumper for the rest of the year

He doesnt wanna play with his team mates, Pole isnt happy Im sure many are feeling likewise

I said some time ago I thought the smiling BS was a fake con job....I dont think that will go down well with many if he runs out - if hes selected- with a big grin on Monday

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 blame every player for not committing to Tigers long-term, I don't care why, I don't care how sensible or self-interest it is, I despise most all of them.

I hope he joins another club in 2027 and does his ACL 5 years in a row. There is no empathy and understanding in my rugby league world, there is only Tigers winning that is acceptable.

Pole was chased by Melbourne and still stayed loyal. The man has absolutely right to be filthy at this wet noodle taking our club for a ride

Don’t like the smiling bs either, I think if he does end up lining for us he’ll be boo’d heavily

My two cents. Good on Richardson for drawing a line under the Galvin contract speculation. No doubt it will continue but WT are now dissociated from it. That alone will pour pressure on Galvins performances.
I hold no particular ill will toward Galvin, though if the media noise is right, I think he has shown poor form. That said, I would only play him until Latu is available, and then focus on Latu fitting into the squad, Galvin can play lock or kick stones.

Yeah I love it's sorted early. If we keep Latu on half the money that Galvin was going to get them we can upgrade Talyn and Bula and May.

If May continues I'd give him a bonus out of the cap. Deserves it.

Do you really want him around the team though mate ? I wouldn’t have him there . Seriously even KOE I’d be hesitant as he’d be blocking someone like Lyles development .
In Football he’d be training by himself on a Different field until his contract runs out .
Th stuff about Benji is pretty harsh . I feel like Benji won’t drop him out of principle , to show he’s the bigger man . But he should ! I don’t think it shows anything .
IMO the decision has to be up to Romey and Api . If I was Benji I’d put it in their hands .
Do they want to play with this guy ?

If I take my Wests blinkers off, I honestly don't blame the kid and his family.

There are basically no decent halves on the market currently, if ever there was a time to sell yourself to the highest bidder, it's now.

With the Wests blinkers on, I think we'll be fine. He's a loss for sure but it's a 13-person game.

I don't take my Wests blinkers off, not in bed, not in the shower, not on the toilet, not watching soccer. Always Wests blinkers on.

Are you being facetious? Is that tongue in cheek ?

I think you hit the nail on the head. It'll be a decision by the senior playing group and not benji himself. Tmw 4pm has never been so exciting. Then again the team tmw could be a Smoke screen and they name him, only to drop him to 18th man on the day.

The fake smiling has always got under my skin. There definitely is something very fake about him.
 
Tough position for the club and Benji...

They will know the fans are pissed and want him dropped (that says a lot considering we want to win) plus add that the players will feel pissed he has a niggle injury.

I think Deep down Richo will be ropeable

Yeah totally agree but like you say Benji will be the utmost profesioanal and keep personalities out of it...its a bit F u to him from galvin (id the media is accurate here)
RMC id have no probs with...cant see it tho
I just worry things will deteriorate as time goes on, worried our season suffers due to this ...

I wrote in a post (couple of weeks ago? Dunno - I'm old...I'll see if I can find it) that Gould is the epitome of Machiavellian and very cunning with what he puts out there.

Says dogs are not interested in Galvin, simultaneously calling him the best teenager he's ever seen - despite being at Penrith when Fittler was first there for God's sake.

* Actually, was Gould at the roosters when Fittler moved?

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this is a classic misdirection and Galvin ends up at the dogs.

And any talk of fitting him into their cap is moot imo; we've all seen in recent years their ability to offload players in bulk to accommodate their shiny new toys.

Yes Gus was at the Roosters when Fittler moved. Biggest move of the Super League War and ended up being the real making of the Roosters success story after that. Nick Politis had become Chairman just 3 years earlier.

Politis, Fittler and Gould were key ARL figures along with Bozo, and were handsomely rewarded for their loyalty to the ARL. Transformed the Roosters' fortunes for decades.
 
All this hype is media stuff, you don't drop him or get hysterical and punish him. I agree with moving him out of 5/8 because he's too erratic now and it's not worth sticking with it, but I'd definitely have him somewhere in the 17 and probably at centre.

Players understand it's a business, luai got on with winning a premiership at Penrith last year, DCE isn't playing any less quality even though he's leaving under acrimonious circumstances. They'll get on with playing.

If Galvin starts to drop in form or creates drama you just drop him. This isn't a crisis, or a mess, a player has just decided to go for more money elsewhere...all good, let's get back to footy.

The one thing I don't think we can do is release him. His whole intent will be to get another club next year to earn big dollars. If we let him go, we continue to show we're a pushover club who isn't serious.
