OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

There isn't alot with all the youngsters. No Latu, very little of TDS, Luke L, Kit L. So I reckon the younger ones have their own little group, as do the Habibi's and so do the gangster types.....its natural for there to be groups within the group.
Who are the gangsters? 😂
 
Has anyone mentioned a possible exchange for that beast Parramatta has? Tuivaiti? I think he could be a good addition to the 17.

They're losing Galvin next year anyway by the looks of it, and due to the small amount of cap he'd free up ($350k by all accounts) it might be that they can't fit a say, $800k player in.

I'd say for '26, yeh you can have him, but not unless we get Tuivaiti.
Seems like a similar player to Royce Hunt. Hard to carry two players like that on a bench.

He’s also managed by Isaac Moses unfortunately.
 
I don't know why people keep saying they want Galvin to confirm when he basically said it

“I just feel that as I move into an important period of my development as a half, that I continue to build my game at a different club.

“Again, I know this might be hard for some people to understand, but I make this decision in the best interests of my career.”


Can people not read between the lines? He isn't going to put out an official statement and say "Benji can't coach"... This is as good as it gets
I wasn't aware he had said anything. Thanks for the clarification. (No need for bold print. Settle down, take it easy)
 
Been waiting on that for some time it seems...

Considering we bought him injured the year before he got here,
You'd have to think he's been up on blocks the best part of the last 3 years at least
- Not a lot to be hopeful about....
Especially with rumours of his mum stating that he was always injured. There is a classy player in him, and we all hope that he gets to show it on a regular basis.
 
A half as in #7 ? Or as in 6&7?
There has been some mention our club sees his future in the backrow.
This is the correct call, however he wants to keep playing 6. I’m sure he realises that Luai is a better 6 and Fainu is likely better as well.
He has been made promises somewhere else that locks him in at 6.
I reckon this has something to do with him claiming he will be better developed in the halves at another club.

Exactly...
 
I think he will see out 2026 with us.. maybe I'm in the minority.
I dont get all the chatter he wont be here after this season...Eels dont have a player we want a trade on i dont think and the money he is on next season is neglible so we dont need to cut him to save cap space. I dont think its worth it just to free up a top 30 spot, we have other players we could do that for.

I'd keep him as a backup half/utility and yes give latu more game time.
If Latu or Luai get injured, great to have galvin slot in and give good service

I agree 100% but still wonder when is he going to start tanking??

Why would he tank?

Its in his interest to play the best possible football to increase his market value...

And if we come into 2026 and he's signed with another club and he isnt performing, play him in NSW cup and utilise him as a backup for Latu and Luai... Nothing lost.. especially if Luai plays origin in 2026

I would love to keep Galvin at the club next year, have said as much several times as I think he should be made an example of.

But it never happens. Ever.

Last I heard Bateman said he intends returning next year to see out his contract, but I can't see that happening.
