OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

We must not forget that Galvin's parents strategically placed him him into environments that would allow him to appear successful.

Westfield Sports High
West's Tigers Harold Matt's

He's been gifted very successful teams that have done incredibly well and has allowed him to gain an aura that he is a part of the success of both of these squads.

Then he finds himself in the 2 x wooden spoon first grade team and is a part of the third spoon. This isn't what they want 😂

He's 19 and has a wooden spoon to his name !?
After all those younger years of nothing but wins !
They wanted him straight into Penrith winning comps at 19.
The undefeated record.
Well, no.

Which makes their obsession with Parramatta quite strange as they aren't winning a comp any time soon. Their spine is not strong at all.

Iongi has potential but isn't there yet.
6 ... Galvin? Yet to be seen he's a instinctual first grade winner.
Moses ? Yes, he's good. Known sook and folds easily.
9 ? Who even is their 9 ? Lussick? Some Penrith rejects, Riley Smith and former 6 Hands ?

No thanks.
(I like Brandan Hands, crafty player.)

Having to play for WTs must have been a reality check for Galvin and his family. WTs believed in him when other clubs wouldn't and this is how he repays the loyalty.

It is strange. The reality is he’s alienated himself from the squad and wants out. Now he’ll convince himself Parramatta is a better option for his development, but really he’s just ignoring the fact that the wasn’t a team player and that’s what turned the players off him in the first place.
He’ll blame Benji and his coaching, but what that translates to is Benji wasn’t rolling out the red carpet for him anymore and was actually demanding certain actions which Lachlan didn’t want hear.

You are 100% correct and what happens when he gets too big to play 5/8 and moved to second row?
Also if I had to choose between Luai or Galvin, I would choose Luai any day of the week. Too many times in the past we have relied on potential.
 
The fantasy stories are now all emerging.
The only truth is Galvin wants out and his manager is working the system to get him out and RPLA is a joke of an organization because if they really cared about players welfare they would lobby the NRL to change the system but instead they support it.

Anasta, world class flog in any case.

Anasta has been the most vocal of everyone in our favour.

He's opinionated, but I don't think he has any agendas. Just calls it as he sees it.

Compare to listening to Cronk. You can tell he has some issue with the Tigers. He can't hide it.

Braiths beef, along with many others, is that he and potentially other players were owed money that was never paid. He was of the belief that the administration at the Tigers was atrocious and that meant people didn't want to go there or be there.

You can't argue with him. We've all been saying the same thing for years.

He has publicly said we are going much better and things have turned. As a result, we don't get bagged at all anymore.

Imagine this Galvin thing happened 3 or 4 years ago. The narrative would be that we are a terrible club and no one wants to play here and it's our fault. Now it's all flipped on its head.

I do want to think that.

But as an older bloke yourself (making an assumption) you'd know that relationships come and go in your teens and twenties. People go in other directions and make life changing decisions and people you were close to, you may no longer remain close to.

This is one of those moments with Galvin and his "crew", in my opinion. If they have half a brain (which I think they do), they aren't going to buy the bullshit and appreciate the toxicity and self entitlement Galvin has.

They are at a cross roads. I see them siding with the team....

And yes, that's what I'm hoping based on logic and judgement of character (or lack thereof in galvins case).

It’s not a matter of siding with the team.
I see no reason why DaSilva and Mason wouldn’t side with the team, while continuing to be mates with Galvin.

Here’s a scoop for you - a lot of players have mates who play for other clubs. In fact a lot of players have friends who know nothing about rugby league. And guess what, they still give 100% when turning out for their employers.

Could also end up another Brodie Croft....

Doesn't do anything and ends up in England in his early 20s, playing well and begging for an NRL return.

Attitude is a lot & he has shown a real lack of class, directly or indirectly.

Most likely he will be representing NSW and Australia in future ,Remember he didn't star in the prime minister Aussie side last year so no sure who coached that team but there game plan for him didn't work either!!, he's an awesome player and a lose but , to come out and bag the coach and basically the players around him in regards to no bettering his game, with a year and a half to go in asking for trouble. 3 wins 3 loses and now this distraction . Let see how AD goes on Monday, then decide how long he plays reserves.

PLAYER SWAP OPTIONS

I emailed Richo on this - if its parra there is no one that is of equal to Galvin that they will let go. Moses and Lomax only and I would say Galvin is more valuable than Lomax as a half and with 15 years in front of him.

Richo needs to get the best player he can BUT also add that we can negotiate at any point in the future with up to 2 players, before their Nov 1 contract period and if a deal can be done wiht that player that they get an immediate release.

That way if they have a gun junior in two years, or a good player we need, we can get them over to us straight away.

Its like when we got Steff from Parra and they wouldnt release him early.

If we get this cluase in their with ANY team we do a swap with - then we can get two players in the future... basically cherry pick the ones we want. BUT thats on top of getting a player we want now - but as we've said there's probably no one of value. AND even if they are of value - because Parra or Dogs want LG so bad, i would still push for that clause in their.

Richo must love checking his emails atm with hundreds in the peanut gallery telling him what they think the club should get in return. It’s one thing to talk about it on here with the rest of us plebs. Don’t email the guy.

There is still negativity from some in the media about the club being a circus and lurching from one crisis to the next … and they keep referring to the previous administration failings when talking about this issue

All that will really stop the next general media pile on directed at Benji, Richo and Luai is to keep winning games …
 
I think after all that has come out , it’s time to clean this mess up.
Galvin not wanted in first grade , fair enough ✅
Galvin drops back to reserve grade , ✅
Galvin. NOw blocking a player coming through X
Galvin Takes a spot in reserves and tank it . X
Mental health issue will explode against Tigers Club . X
Tigers in media about Galvin only even after a win. X
Getting rid of him now shows club is in control and won’t cop crap .✅
Player swap , bring in a talent who wants to be a Tiger . ✅
Richo needs to get in front of a camera and slam Mosses and if he has a copy of the 7 point issue show it , and keep complaining the NRL. Are not helping , player managers are in control of the game ✅

My tip Galvin won’t play this week - phone calls says unwell. / Stress
Stress = you can’t touch me
Get rid of this ungrateful prick , this way his failed footballer father can live his dream via his son somewhere else , And his mother needs to be ashamed of herself for allowing daddy and dodgy mosses to create this shit storm .
Out the door he must go
 
Issue with potential player swaps is that the player from another team has to agree to it. It's not like nba where you can trade players without their permission.

It happens in all sports. Clubs and coaches can say anything to get a player over the line, but things change which is where a team first mentality is important. No one gets guarantees and if I was any club I’d be wary signing him now. Parramatta have shown a lack of leadership in management though so it wouldn’t surprise me if they overlook this and sign him, thinking they can change him. Maybe he’ll change, but it’s a big risk when it’s that amount of money.

In the same breath, when the majority of the media were beating down on us, there were a few that took the opposite view.

You can't win everyone over, but the majority and the loudest voices are on our side.

Elias tried that shit on and was made to look the fool. It's very clear what's happened here and I honestly reckon it could have gone either way if it was another manager, but because people know that Isaac Moses destroys clubs, people have come out and been critical of Galvin and his management.

The sheer volume of people in the media that are now revealing stories about Isaac Moses and their disdain for him is amazing. It's clear that many coaches and administrators don't like dealing with him and he does not deal in good faith. This could almost tarnish him to the point where players may think twice before signing with him.

Behind the bad blood and tension that fractured the Tigers playing group

There has been a growing sense of frustration in the Lachlan Galvin camp since Jarome Luai’s arrival in Tiger Town over the summer.

So one of the dossier dot complaints was:

"The first related to a wrestling session, from which Galvin was removed by Marshall after five minutes. It was Marshall’s way of looking after his star player, a young playmaker who didn’t need to get involved in the grubby stuff at the ruck.

Moses, however, claimed that Marshall’s gesture was detrimental to his client’s development, arguing he needed the additional time at the wrestling session to improve the defensive aspect of his game. It was an accusation that left staff at the Tigers scratching their heads."
