OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Maybe

Only time will tell if it's the club or Galvin. We are all taking educated guesses at the moment, you have decided to go against the club and support Galvin, that's your right. Or at the very least your trying hard to paint the club in bad light. Maybe you believe that, maybe it's just for reactions on here. All I know is that we were all warned a long time ago about the Galvins and the history they have through the juniors. That history is repeating itself here. So my educated guess is that they are grubs and they have the grubbiest of managers which adds to the self righteous behaviour we are seeing.

Yep. I'm not a Gynaecologist, but I know a c*** when I see one!!

 

[Tucker]

The "legal letter" would have outlined why it's an unsafe workplace... Richo would know.

I doubt it is all in there. From what I understand the letter is just another strategy to pressure the club into acting. I’ve received them before, they don’t mean shit. Just bullyboy scare tactics.

 

[Tigerdave]

Well, just sit him out then until all this dies down.

Perhaps though, his management shouldn't play victim to the circumstances they created?

 

[innsaneink]

Not at all. But I do find it pretty funny that those who were so furious last year whenever this kid was critiqued are now the loudest bashers of him.

Who would they be?

Disgraceful condemning a player who has basically given the finger to the club, coach, players and fans.

These people feel betrayed....weve been through hell for 15 years and a glimmer of hope comes along....fans get their hopes up only to be flipped the bird and you find it funny

Says it all

So if they had anything solid they'd go for it, right?

 

[watersider]

Sorry @Tucker you are acting like you know what went on in the weeks, months, years before this and at the meeting itself and post. That’s ridiculous unless you have inside information. It’s all speculation, and backing the other side as smarter than ours is not warranted or needed. Till proven they placed the ace card, let’s focus on winning, and all this is noise, a letter. I hope we ignore it. Dumb legal letters should be given the air they deserve, none. Blaming Richo for the media beat up as if you would have altered reality is also a bit naive, again unless you are on the inside and privy to all discussions

@Tucker is speculating and offering opinion like everyone else. He could be right about what he's saying. As you say, we don't know.

I find his perspective thought provoking. I don't want him to be right but I can see where he's coming from in his arguments. It's of no consequence on here what arguments are made.

 

[mtd#2]

Am I the only one that doesn't think we are a hope in hell of winning tomorrow

I don't think today's article will mean sh1t to the playing group, personally.

Why are you allowed to have opinions and I am not?
I’ve never once claimed to have inside info. This is all clearly what I think happened.
I was asked what I would have done. I explained why I would have acted a certain way as I used to be a risk manager for complex projects.
I may be completely wrong, I might be completely right. Either way, I have the right to post my opinion on an open forum. If you can’t handle that, then debate the points as others have. Resorting to attacking me shows you have nothing.

Theres always hope mate, otherwise why walk on the field. The real question is the TEAM united? If they are, then I expect them to win. If not.........the season could get ugly.

 

[Tony Taco]

Am I the only one that doesn't think we are a hope in hell of winning tomorrow

Hell no. I think they are fired up and ready to rock!!

 

[hsvjones]

It seems clear to me what to do with Galvin.
Sit him out for the next 18 months or whatever he's got left to go on his contract.
Don't play him anywhere in Wests Tigers or lower grade teams...why should he take another player's spot who's earnt it and wants to be here.
Between him and his manager they know what they are doing. All this crap he's only a kid. If your going to get paid a million dollars a season and play with the big boys you are no longer a kid.
If he's being bullied and has mental health issues even more reason not to play him.
If he wants a release then release him with a million dollar price tag other wise just sit him out for the remainder of his contract.

This is exactly what we should do and I'm happy to lose a top 30 spot and his salary for it. Don't care now and would not want him anywhere near the club.
Making him stay away and train himself with NO games sounds fair to me.

You make your bed you lay in it..

 

[Spidercam]

You know for me it’s a real kick in the teeth for anyone who has actually been bullied. This kid wasn’t bullied, his ego took a hit when he realised he’s not as important as he thought he was and tomorrow the Tigers will show a TEAM will always be stronger than an individual. Lastly Benji’s a legend, keep saying how blessed we’re to have certain players, well I say we’re blessed to have him, long live the Messiah and happy Easter 🐣

 

[Tigerwould]

Didn’t Mitchell Moses pull the mental health card to leave the WTs?
What about Benji’s mental health after L.G saying he’s a sh!t coach.

 

[BAGNF05]

This has pretty big ramifications for Galvin's career. Look at what happened to young tapine at the dogs. It seems his career is over. I think if the tigers fold and meet the demands he gets away with this move, but a big drawn out legal battle where it's probably untenable that he even play or show up to training (given its an unsafe bullying environment) and a long lay off off the field as well as future clubs not wanting to deal with such a player and manager and it becomes a whole lot messier for Galvin. Shitty situation for the club, but I think they can't back down on this.

Absolute negligence from his manager this whole situation. Kids need to learn that actions have consequences in life and often those consequences involve criticism from your peers. How you deal with that adversity is the mark of a man. Moses is teaching Galvin the wrong way to deal with setbacks in life and he’ll pay a massive price for it.

The NRL needs to sanction the manager (again).

They also need to look up the definition of bullying. Imbeciles.

Yeah apparently only one side is allowed an opinion

Ah @Tucker where are the attacks mate?
We have been engaged in adult forum discussions. I have been a commerical lawyer for 25 years and 20 of those with my own firm. More scuffles than your average terrier. I just challenged how you reached conclusions which I didn’t agree with. I do disagree with you and I do think you are speculating and wrongly, that’s not an insult or attacking you, just opinion as you say. We’ll be right mate. Lots of feeling and speculation around a letter that as you say means nothing and should be ignored, with which I agree.

 

[mtd#2]

Hell no. I think they are fired up and ready to rock!!

The odds haven't changed with sportsbet either.

 

[Big Red]

@Demps bro, I'm locked out of my acct smh

Been wondering where you were. Bad time to get locked out. Good to hear your views.

The kid gave no one the finger. He hasn’t wanted to be here for as long as I’ve known his bloody name. He was never the saviour. He always appeared to be using us as a stepping stone.
I do give a shit and have said over and over that Bula TDS and the Fainu’s are our future…not this bloke who clearly plays for his highlights reel.
Benji isn’t a good NRL level coach yet, he’s been coaching at all levels for only 5 minutes. If his parents weren’t concerned then they’d be bad parents.
The issue is what’s happened behind the scenes with another club. Exposing that is how we get them back.

 

[Ecto-1]

Bullying is no joke.
Moses should really leave Benji alone.
