OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Rugba]

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

Tigers still to win 20+
Too strong for Parra
Plus the playing group will be pissed so they will be up for it

 

[diedpretty]

How’s Matamua in Massey right now ? Tumeth is in Sydney A grade . They’re both top 30

I think it just means if they get demoted below 2nd grade they can walk away from their contract. Basically they become a free agent.

 

[Tcat]

Maybe this has been said but...

Bullying is defined under section 789FD of the Fair Work Amendment Act 2013 (Cth) as when an individual or group of individuals repeatedly behave unreasonably towards a worker and that behaviour creates a risk to health and safety.

As this response was 1. isolated to one incident and 2. not unreasonable per the circumstances (easily argued in a court of law). Then this letter is easily thrown out and seen for what it is, another desperate ploy by a money-grubbing player-manager.

Marshall has been repeatedly bullied by Moses to get Galvin out of the club. Marshall would feel terrible that Moses keeps harrassing him over a legally binding NRL contract. Even going behind his back to his boss with a list of client grievances that are unfounded. There is a deformation case and a bullying case that Marshall needs to persue against Moses.

 

[Merlot]

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

some article somewhere today mentioned the moses /galvin 15 sooks and suggested Benji may have grounds for litigation if some of those grippes came to light - ???? things heat up n get messy in the sandpit . Hard to know what to believe sometimes

Correct. If they are playing below reserve grade they can request a release and must be granted one. If they are playing below reserve grade and want to continue at the club they are able to do so for the remainder of their contract.

 

[Tucker]

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.

I’ve already explained how I reached them.
I have not stated that anything others are saying is ridiculous, naive etc..but I keep copping it. I don’t care about this legal shit, I suspect it has no legs solely because this kid has been treated like a king by this joint.
But let’s not pretend there is no substance to his earlier claims that the coaching is not up to standard. Benji famously doesn’t spend the hours on the job that his contemporaries do. Going on holidays last year whilst the team had lost heaps of games on the trot was a poor look. The whole time this bloke has been with us he has seen nothing but failure from the senior squads. Now we find out he has kept a diary. Richo had the chance to find out a lot of what they had and apparently shut them down before they revealed it. Now it’s coming back through the media.
It just seems like rinse and repeat of things this club does.

yes

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

Yes everywhere west of the harbour bridge the further inland you go the worse the heavy metal content in the sediment is, wonder that at Parra anything is alive.

Geez mate, don't tell that to the good folks that paid big $$ for their waterfront units at Rhodes and Wentworth Point.
Not all that long ago, those same addresses were Dulux and Union carbide. mmmm Heavy metal contaminants . . . . So briefly . . . the dirt in the ground at some of the sites there had to be dug up, taken to a local built conveyer belt through basically a furnace, incinerated and then trucked back to it's original site and filled the hole from whence it came. The dirt was so contaminated, this was the only way to remediate it. All the developers chipped in to build the lucifer plant . . . it was the only way they could get their biohazard ground passed.

Based on our history of playing with emotion I agree.

But with these new guys, who knows?

 

[69-05-41]

Anyone else thinking one of Moses' cronies will pull out some massively destabilising crap for tomorrow's tabloids to put us deep into damage control and give Pawwa a leg-up? Maybe a story from Benji's dog's, cousin's, post-man's, next-door neighbour to teach us a lesson and put us in our place.

Can we get some more footage of journos getting flipped into trees? I’ve got a few suggestions.

If it was bad enough to get him out of a contract, they would have played that card before this saga.

It's all reactive from the Galvin camp.

Can't imagine his management sitting on a get out of jail free and not previously taking action.

On the legal front I agree with you, which is where/why I posted on this thread. Throwing in other things about Benji … I will bail out of this one. I support benji and the team,
see massive improvement and this issue as just noise. Hope we win watching them at CommBank tomorrow.

 

[innsaneink]

You sound very butthurt lately.
I suggest taking time away from this echo chamber of 60+ year olds and really thinking critically.
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.

You seem to have quite a lot of hats....psychoanalyst as well.

Try responding to the points in my post instead of petty digs.

Im curious why you find it amusing that WTs fans might be a bit upset pissed off or emotional about this whole issue

Odds of $1.01 about that.

First official quotes from a coach about being interested in Galvin and guess who!

i read into it as moses is getting nasty / personal .going beyond his professional duty maybe ,certainly a professional tantrum

 

[Tucker]

@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.

Thankyou. Yes we are just a bunch of tragics trying to work out what the hell is going on.
I don’t fully believe the narrative of either side. I just wish they’d have acted like professionals and kept all this out of public view.
If we found out in August that he was not extending with us and Richo had been battling since mid April, I’d be mighty impressed. At the moment I’m more sort of left with many questIons.

They all know...theyve all been advised not to eat fish and those on ground floor units have been advised not to eat anything grown there.....well going back 15 years - dodgy developers no doubt exclude that now.

...and to think the stock feed silos that fed sydneys beef and cattle for decades were placed between these sites

 

[supercoach]

Hopefully this time tomorrow we will be talking football and not Galvin. Although if we lose it will be full on Galvin talk I guess.

We are in the business of winning football matches, something we have failed at big time for many years. So I say we need to have Galvin in the 17 for the next 18 months as he is in the best 17 we have at the club. Okay I understand dropping for this week, but as from next week I would like to see him get a run and that should also bring Moses’s games to a big halt.

Anyway never dull in tiger town
