OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I saw this card coming a mile away... Mose/Galvin team are going to use every trick in the book to get their way.. we need to close quarters (team to make no more public comments, especially on social media, all questions should be referred to WT management) and dig our heels in. He's contracted to us till end of 26.

All I can say is that a bullying claim can override a contract’s terms, not all cases but this type of matter is often within the jurisdiction of Fair Work. The two posts on social media are not the issue, it’s what else has (if anything) occurred or not - at training, team bus, flights for our away games etc . An affidavit and a simple claim and FW comes can potentially into contention outside of the contract - and in my experience, it’s a kangaroo court. We may have a counter claim for beach of contract but that usually treated as separate in the eyes of FW and may avoid mediation under the contract. The fact they have dropped a letter over Easter is not surprising. As a fan, ahead of the Monday game, insipid. But I hope the team is getting good advice and I’m happy to be a second pair of eyes. A legal letter is usually garbage, it’s whether they are willing to back it up and file a claim - whatever the jurisdiction.

so he is saying that he was excluded from “spine meetings “ … it seems ridiculous this would be the case …but if true this could be of some concern … compared with the social media stuff we know about

one can only assume his mum and dad are OK with this legal letter.... If this is the case, it's disgusting from them to use their child like this...
If Galvin himself is ok with it, then he himself is a piece of shit. Bite the hand that fed you. Him leaving isn't the issue, it's the way in which he did it

Sorry in advance about the
Long comment, but here goes

I’m a 70 year old tigers supporter who has seen most things rugby league, but the dark side of the Galvin issue is concerning as there are ‘some’ commentators ignoring facts to support team Galvin (Moses)

wests tigers arranged a meeting in regard to a possible upgrade/extension

Moses is stated to have said don’t bother we will be leaving at the end of this contract and here’s a list of grievances regarding the inability of the Tigers to develop Galvin

The Tigers have

Benji who was an elite representative half

Jerome a state and international rep half

Api a state and international hooker

It was the Galvin camp that bluntly ended the contract discussions, not wests tigers

Also any suggestion that the Tigers should have waited till November 1 is also ludicrous.

The galvin camp weren’t waiting as they had met with

Mitch Moses -Parra

Gus Gould - dogs

Assistant coach - dogs

There may have been more

The Tigers had the commercial advantage prior to Nov 1 of being able to upgrade galvins contract for 25 and 26, no other team had that opportunity + they were offering a more than competitive extension.

Every other team attempts to sign their player before Nov 1 if they want to keep them. But somehow the Tigers shouldn’t have by some experts.

But Galvin’s camp weren’t interested under any circumstances apparently.

What does that tell the Tigers beyond we are going elsewhere (even though they can’t ‘sign’ anything at this stage). They obviously have come to ‘terms’ elsewhere or locked in ‘options’

The Tigers press statement was exactly the correct thing to do, so that the Tigers weren’t used as a bargaining tool and the supporters were aware of the circumstances that led to the outcome.

Tigers had done all that they could and Galvins camp ‘shat’ on them on the way out

Disgraceful

I think from the socials the majority of the supporters are behind Richardson and the team stance and would be happy not to see Galvin in the team ever again. Not because he was leaving but because of the disrespect to the club and players. He should be hanging his head in shame.

Even if the tigers lose on Easter Monday I would not want him in the team as there can be no trust with his team mates after what has been said by team Galvin

Sorry abt the length of the comment

PS

Galvins mental health is of concern, and I don’t think team Galvin are dumb, but the possible blow back obviously wasn’t a consideration/concern for them, just another ‘tool’ to achieve an outcome.
(Same play sheet as Mitch Moses exit from the tigers if my memory is working ?)

Great post @tigertragic

Previously you could give benefit of the doubt to Galvin during all of this mess and put it down to his manager taking the wrong approach.

But now I’ve lost what little respect I have for this kid. You’re an adult, if you’re going to let your manager play dirty then you’re just as bad as him. Piss off to parramatta take your scum manager with you. Enjoy playing at the bottom of the table, hope your mental health can take it.

This is could also be part of the chess game

The reaction this now has on the playing group could cause bullying

Where is it saying that?
 
Solution, stick him in Ron Massey cup , he’s then away from benji and the players , he would have no contact with the nrl side or nsw cup , and even better make him 18th man every week , that will fix the little grub
 
Where i can see this landing in light of the latest card thats been played. We stick to our guns this year because basically we get nothing by allowing him to leave and be one player short for the remainder of the year.
We will probably imo go to his management and say bring us options if you want him released for next year and we will consider them if they are favorable to us.

I have to hope they have a social media ban for now. And he is being watched at training. Why issue an allegation with all this attention if the Galvin camp doesn’t intend to agitate this further, rightly or wrongly. Nothing for fans to worry about - as a fan also. The administration should have good legal advice and PR consultants. This story has more to play out unfortunately. Let’s just hope we get up Monday. That’s all the team and Benj should be focused on. Crocodile roll the eels.
 
Stupid by Galvin camp .

With what was happening he would have been released some stage this year and probably in the broader nrl came out looking ok.

This legal letter is over the top and any empathy or anyone taking his side is now over.

It’s very easy for him to file in Fair Work (or elsewhere) and this then becomes a shit show - for the media and fans. Not to be feared though. I suspect we knew this was coming. A legal letter means shit until they file something but another threat. It would tarnish all involved though. We should hold strong. Have offered my time to the club pro bono to fight any rubbish.

Certainly Doueihi must have known. Noticed he moved closer to the scrum base lst couple of games 😜
