OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Vicious said:
Plenty of pros and cons.
Latu is a stronger ball runner than Galvin, has better deception and short ball than Galvin and is a much better and stronger front on defender than Galvin, but doesn’t have the same level of fitness and therefore doesn’t get in positions to be on the ball and compete as much as what Galvin does, Galvin has developed a nice short kicking game, both of their long kicking games are ordinary at best, Galvin has a better long passing game and is a better lateral defender,
IF Latu makes good improvements with his fitness and kicking game, he will become the superior player.

Yep . Both those things are well within things he can control . The kicking is just repetition , aligned with coaching on how and where to hit the ball with your feet , and just really time . Fitness is all about effort . If Latu wants to live up to his potential then the gym needs to be his friend . He’s got a really good mentor in luai to make that happen.
Whereas with Galvin , he can only get so fast , he can only develop so much .
I think his development will really be in strength intangibles . As he gets older his strength will grow , and his ability to brush tackles and stand in tackles will get stronger . But that will be at the expense of his speed off the mark . And he’s already fairly slow .

Still not condoning what he did, and I think his and his fathers response was total BS and the shamelessness that they totally lifted DCE’s reasoning and used it for themselves was pathetic. However, at least he’s told us early and not strung us along for 18 months like Teddy, Woods and Moses did. Still a dog act to be so ungrateful to the club though.

The whole thing has been staged by the Galvin's and thier Agent Moses. We are all trying to catch up.

Tipping a bucket over Benji was meant to agitate and get all of us fired up (including me). It was meant to create havoc and get him released asap so he could go.
We have all come to terms with it now and out him on the market for the balance of his contract at today's value or a player swap to benefit us. If not thank him for his service and shut him Iin Reggie's.

We all know how it is now. Benji and team need to go to siege mentality and have Latu and company step up.

We all love the tigers and scum bags are not welcome.

I hope the Tigers come out agianst the slime and make a statement.

Forever Tigers !

You'll notice that I used the word "manipulate" in the previous sentence. I have heard Galvin speak twice.....one was a radio interview late last season and the other was part of being in a "Fletch and Hindy" skit tonight. What had really struck me in those two media spots is that although he is 18 or 19, his maturity levels are FAR below that. Don't confuse maturity with intelligence. In both of those media spots, he seems like an absolute kid, not a money hungry bastard.

I agree with what you said, I also want to zoom in on this.

Because, yea Galvin is a kid. When I was 19 we were playing Jackass and I said a stack of crap that I wouldn't say now. To the surprise of everyone here I did not watch or filter my mouth at all.


They are also Footballers! That used to be the excuse for the crap construction site language they said.
I mean, I could imagine Willie Mason or Ben Hannant go "Contract? That's where you hit someone right?"


Maybe Galvin is full of himself, he definately has a stack of Athleticism. His manager though has allowed all this crap to happen. This is what happens when we sign Issac Moses, who appears to be wanting to replace Benji with one of the coaches in his stable! #NOMOREISSACPLAYERS

It’s unbelievable arrogance isn’t it.. I still cannot believe he did that

This is not a new thing for the Galvin's or in fact Moses. We all saw the signs but chose to ignore it as we all wanted the club to do well and bought into the hype. No club can get of the bottom on the back of one player especially a greedy self interest bunch like then.
Richo was and will continue to be to smart for them.

Just really can't bear the sight of Galvin in 5 years time being origin player winning premiership and fulfilling his potential

You think that's going to happen at Parramatta?

They are way behind the Tigers they need a forward pack and a hooker

Wait! What?? Team Galvin demanded an overhaul of the assistant coaching roster?? OK, that makes the "only has mates as assistant coaches" spiel make sense. But who on earth thinks they can tell their coach who he should employ??? Far out!

What if it wasn't him? But his family? His agent? This is even sadder then. For Lachlan is not trusted to think for himself. What if the spiel is 2nd hand news? Innuendo? The biggest betrayal is more than Lachlan's camp not believing in our team - but us believing in Lachlan - we spoilt him.

He’s lost me too unless he cones out and makes a public apology to the club and its supporters, but we know that his not going to happen.
The Eels clearing the decks for a major rebuild and you can bet it will have a strong Isaac Moses influence to their playing roster.
It’s a near guarantee he is plotting to get Jahream Bula to join them next, let’s hope Bula is strong enough and loyal enough to see through his managers bullcrap.

Bula not free till 28, plenty of time for the NRL to pull the thumb out and do something about these bloodsucking ticks, surely this last blowup has them in the think tank already.

He will be in origin in 5 years . Origin is a popularity contest , and always filled with even middling players from the flavour of the month clubs .
He’s a media darling now , and will be propelled up as such by pundits and talking heads associated with the dogs and eels .
So mason , graham , Matt John’s , Paul Kent , and the Moses pocket holders in riccio and Reed ( they’re absolutely disgusting as human beings . Like honestly , I find them repugnant, how low they will stoop , and betray their journalistic integrity just to maintain that grip on Isaac Moses” pocket . Anyways I digress) .
I just am sure in 5 years he will be at lock.

I agree. He received preferential treatment and was overhyped/overrated immediately by the fanbase and the media. The club was so desperate to have a star come through the system that they may not have been taking concerns that were coming from his camp seriously.

that’s a good point . I’ll go a step further that in their desperation to find any ray of sunshine in the darkness , the propped up someone , I’m almost certain if they were being honest with themselves , that had huge red flags in the locker room .

What concerns can a 19y.o who has gone from Zero to a million dollars per season in 12 months have ?
If that is not development, I don’t know what is ?

i was about to say the same thing … it’s the same reason why Walsh and Ponga will probably be selected for Queensland this year. Not that their current form warrants it, but they are massive for fan fare
