OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[innsaneink]

Why would it be concerning? Benji wants him to be a free spirit and not be burdened or hampered by structure. So Benji puts the structure in place with the hooker, the 7 and the 1, leaving Galvin to be exactly what he wants and that's his selfish self. We may not agree with Benji doing that, but it's hardly bullying.

I like (hate) these days how a person can act however they want and if others around them respond in a negative manner it's bullying. It's pathetic. Galvin is without doubt showing he is of terrible character and needs a right hook to the throat.

Good angle...as long as it was communicated that way to him

 

[TYGA]

They made this into a character assassination of Benji ti get outbid a contract. It’s lowlife behaviour. Tigers have no choice but to stand their ground now. No release, no exchanges and if its a work place issue the employee is paid all their entitlements to stay home on gardening leave until the end if their contract.

Apparently Isaac is not only an expert at being prick, but he's also a body language expert......who knew.

Well there it is - the infamous Danny Wanker exclusive, as predictable as the Benny Elias smear job. Benji's body language that day could have been due to a dodgy curry for lunch, much like how we feel after reading a Danny Wanker exclusive or seeing Benny's face.

So Galvin is acting like a brat and trying to get out of his contract no matter what so he can earn more money and F over the tigers. Yer entitled kid hey, no empathy for him now, I hope the tigers don't release him this year, let him stay in reserve grade for the rest of year no matter what. Kids these days think they can say and act how they want with no consequences. Basically summarises the direction of Australia as well

 

[Tom Shines]

My take away from just reading that is Richos quote "this will not work, we will not be giving him a release"
Game over.

phew … that’s a relief … I thought this situation might have had some legs

 

[Tucker]

If they had a genuine concern, they wouldn't play it out in the media as normally a person who felt such a grievance would have to approach their manager and seek a discussion and mediation with the person involved. Further, bullying is not usually considered a one-off situation - it's a sustained behaviour.
I know I'm stating the obvious in saying it's a letter just to provoke further reaction from the club.
I hope we offer to resolve any perceived issues and enter a mediation process. Straight bat approach.

It’s a tactic, not a genuine concern
Our admin should have anticipated this move.
We know he has receipts, so we need to address them headon.

I beg to differ

How? So your saying the other 26 players are being bullied for not being invited to those meetings? It's not the team, it's a meeting for select players the coach believes implements our structure. Its painfully clear Galvin doesn't do that with his style of play. Who the coach believes should be in those meeting is 100% at Benji's subjective discretion.

 

[Milky]

Nothing will speak louder than TDS putting pen to paper and Bula getting a new manager

 

[Tucker]

Allegedly

Or are you believing weidler,?

From what’s been said from both sides now, I believe Richo fcked up in that meeting by shutting down the reading of the grievances list. Had he listened to what they were saying, he could have dealt with them behind closed doors. Now they are going to drip feed them to the public until the weight of opinion turns against the club.
Obvious tactic that I’m surprised Richo failed to identify.
It certainly appears that their side is playing the game a lot smarter than ours are.

I beg to differ

About what ? Who are the people in our spine . The 2 captains , and the fullback who has shown. Nothing by leadership . It’s could very well have been a leadership meeting … the only way we know it was a spine meeting was because that’s the way Galvin and his management names it … even TDS has been tapped on the shoulder as a future tigers captain .

 

[Strider]

So far on social media 98% of people seem to be on Wests Tigers side to this. Hopefully it remains. I think people are a bit wiser than a few years ago for this stuff. Non Tigers fans are shitting on Galvin. I kinda feel bad for him. Isaac Moses is such a loser. Benji we know how important mental health is for him. I really feel for Benji. Its almost like narcassist abuse.

@Tucker I know you run a business. What would have you done with that approach from Moses and Galvin’s camp in a big contract situation if your counter party said don’t bother and we’ll list why in a meeting? I know you’ll say listen, but I gather they said don’t bother with any offer and the grievances came after that. We are dealing with a scum bag and I think richo did all he could in an untenable position when he knew what would come after the meeting if he didn’t get on the front foot.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

People saying Galvin is soft etc are missing the point. This is a planned move, it's not about Galvin's feelings. Big money contract waiting at the club he wants, Moses creating a strategy to get him there.

So let me get this right … Galvin had the opportunity to become a 1-club player & be the local junior who led the club to the promised land (that is what movies are made of). Instead he has set himself up to be the kid who had the world at his feet but was led astray by poor advisors and became one of the most unliked players by fans & players. Sad!

Luai closing his trapdoor clauses as well.

We don’t know the full situation ..and I’m not going to play a speculation game about the purpose of the meeting and whether everyone else from the subgroup was present other than our boy… Im making more of a general point that this could be grounds for something that is considered a workplace bullying incident …more so then the social media stuff …IMO

I don't see how drip feeding it to the public sways opinion?

Let's remember Moses said (Im paraphrasing) "don't even bother giving us a contract to review, we aren't looking at it, we are leaving, we don't believe in the direction of coach and club".

So why would richo listen to the greviences when it's been made clear he won't resign?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Also there could be stuff said in private or in whatsapp groups thatywe but unaware of.

If any private player chat ever saw the light of day, fair chance that is the end of Galvin’s NRL career. Would never be trusted again!

They will drip feed them regardless to suit their agenda.
I don't see what else Richo could have done sit there and listen to a bunch of rubbish from a 19yr old. You can't sit there and cop what would likely be insignificant issues.
We've pandered to this kid from the get go, imo that's where we've erred in this situation, we've contributed to his over inflated ego.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

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

I understand that under the latest RLPA agreement, players who are dropped lower than Reserve Grade have a case for a release from their contract. So bench or 18th man for NSW Cup it is!

In hindsight I think you’re right - should have listened, big I think in the moment he just thought it was rubbish and an attempt to play clubs off against each other to create a bidding war.
