OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Snowy]

I wonder how Galvin is feeling now?
I reckon he'd be thinking "I'll get a release now the boys don't want me here" Please Tigers don't back down on this! Make him see out his contract!

 

[Demps]

If the Wests Tigers want a Premiership, Lachie Galvin should stay in reserve grade

“I have heard the game described as one that ‘knocks the bulls*** out of you.'”

None of them are a prospect like Galvin with a long rep career ahead. You don’t let him walk for free.

Exactly. This is a great opportunity to attain an exceptional player of value in return. Richo will not rush this as Moses will definitely want Galvin out for next season.

Today is playing out exactly how Moses would want it.

I'm glad the players have turned against him, just shows how much it means to be wearing a tiger's jersey and they want to play for Benji. I don't think this will disrupt the team at all.

It may galvanize them!

It’s not about the prospect he is. It’s about the $$$ they are on. Ice was on 600k. It’s hard to play hardball with a kid on minimum wage, regardless of his ability.

Post of the year! 😂

If these clubs want Galvin bad enough there’s a deal to be made.

Anyone else see the email in their inbox on club statement around Galvin and think - here it is, he is extending. Got that one wrong - what a cluster the last 24hrs have been. The boys need to win this Monday more then ever

Would be nice to see him spend the next season and a half in reserve grade, but it won’t happen. Might happen for the rest of the year, but that’s it. He’ll be gone in 26.

The narrative is all going in our favour. This kid is in for a hell of a time over the next few months. Hope his dad and agent are happy.

I have no doubt in my mind that a Luai/Fainu combo will have our attack much more consistent and threatening.

This^^^

Punish him. Privileged kid still living at home gifted the keys to the club for as many years as he wants and still not enough. Send him to his room without dinner.

He should be forced to play in reggies with zero development on his game for 2 years.

 

[Odessa]

Great assistant coach as he was a very smart footballer. Horrible man manager though as evidenced by one of his own players punching him in the face.

I think Trent Barrett is a good assistant as well but not the main guy I think Barrett is mentally to weak to be a head coach

This gives us more bargaining power that he’s on minimum wage.

The reason the club didn’t push for a trade as strongly with the players above was because they prioritised clearing cap space immediately over forcing a trade etc.

Whoever signs Galvin is going to want him asap due to his youth and the 7 position. They’d want him in the system early so they can speed up the transition.

Clubs will offer trades, however if we aren’t comfortable with what’s coming back I’m sure the club will be happy to keep him in reserve grade as our backup half.

Why should we be forced to compensate and move him on, he’s on minimum wage and as a club we benefit having him on standby as a backup until 2027.

He made his bed. He can lay in it.

The club statement was perfect, we’re not releasing him and he doesn’t want us to.

When you start getting all emo about it you lose your leverage.

 

[Tigerdave]

Yeah, Galvin definitely listening to the wrong people. His brand is damaged.

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

If you’re right it’s more evidence our club is just not as professional as clubs like the Storm. Hopefully Richo had thought this through. We need to get something out of it.

Richo knows the art of war. I’m sure he was prepared for a no, and even all this crap. We lack resources but are showing signs of resilience.

Moses would just be saying, look what I did for James Tedesco’s career.

Tigers priority has to be using this as a bargaining chip.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Today is playing out exactly how Moses would want it.

100%. While the senior players' loyalty to Benji is admirable, demanding Galvin's removal will help Galvin to agitate for a release on mental health grounds. We should have dropped him but made it out like we were doing it out of concern for his welfare.

I can think of no other coach in the NRL that would have backed him like Benji has maybe Kevin Walters he backed up a few young guys at the Broncos but nowhere near what Benji has done


Benji must feel so betrayed stabbed in the back and for what believing in young talent
