OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Oldman]

Thumbs down to that.
Galvin is worth a million.

Hey Tuck
Surely it’s only our club that thinks he is worth a million,
Which I for one am glad he didn’t sign as it is way overs from what he has delivered so far on the field.
Can’t believe people thinking we would take sexton he would only come here if we offered him at least a 2 year deal and why would we do that with Latu and Sullivan on our roster already.

The club has sights on top 4 next year. I don’t think Latu or Bud take us anywhere near those heights, short of a miraculous form surge.

All I’m saying is Sexton is no better than those 2 and they are already on our payroll why would we add Sexton as well.
I’m hoping the priority is between an aggressive middle or a hard running 2nd rower before we sign another half.

 

[Adam Doobie]

Lachlan Galvin is the greatest player to ever live. They should build statues of him. The only thing stopping him from becoming an immortal is if he trips in the shower and does his hamstring. One day we won't even talk about players like Andrew Johns and Johnathan Thurston, and that is simply because Galvin has set up more tries than Tim Smith in his rookie year (40).

After six straight premierships for the Bulldogs, Gus Gould will release a $GALVIN meme coin and promote it on his twitter. He will proceed to pull the rug and fleece Doggies fans of their money.

I hate Isaac Moses winning again.

And that emoji is NOT for you champion @Spartan117 - it's for the germ.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Why not all 4, we could use a serviceable half, a second rower, a top notch centre and someone with a decent kick that can play a couple of positions.
🤣

We'll get the usual nothing and it will be sold to the fans as a good deal.

Personally I want him to rot here in reggies and see out his contract, at the very least we would gain some respect from at least 14 other clubs for digging in and it wouldn't be unmanageable dollar wise, but I think we all expect nothing like that to happen, we'll just cop it up the butt as usual. 😡

Well, if he didn't tank last week, he's been doing a lousy job of hiding it all year. Either that or he quite simply is not the Wunderkind after all. I've called him a ball hog and that's all I see, Benji saw it at the boot camp - watch again as Benj tries to explain Leadership & communication to the halfwit!

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I do not know how people could call for Brooksies head, and then wish for Sexton.

God, this times 100. He's average at best.

 

[TIGERS]

I wish I had confidence in Latu being able to manage NRL week in week out.

He doesn't have to manage it alone. He has Api and Luai there that's a tonne of Premiership winning expereience.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I want one of our forwards to flog him ....play as much as you like Lachie

2026 they can belt him

imagine the disruption to the team if he has had say 10 games with dogs then we meet in a semi and he can't play, it changes how they play

 

[TCL]

I would love for him to go to the dogs. He will destabilise that club real quick. Gould has been touting him as a franchise player, a player you build a team around. Crichton, burton, and the rest of the bulldogs team will be pissed at comments like that given how they are going. This kid would be winning the most overrated player award if RLweek was still running the player poles.

 

[Bigtom]

I still think it's Parramatta.

Just can't see it being the Dogs given their focus on Mitchell Woods coming through & it would make Gus out to be a blatant liar.

I think the curveball could be DCE or Reynolds to the Dogs for 1 season.

Gus wouldn’t lie? T Barrett says hello

 

[Roar_Power]

As long as we get something back for Galvin going early, who cares? His head and heart isn't here anymore. Need to move on....but not for nothing. Player swap or transfer fee - geez didn't the Bulldogs pay Dolphins $500k for Karl Oloapu??

 

[Sully]

I have mixed feelings if he is gone or getting a release.

I would like to see us have a back bone and stand up for a contract and play him off the bench #18 if we get Latu back and him and JL fire as I expect.
2027 he can play anywhere he wants.
I know it is impressive for a 19 year old to be playing first grade and he is a very fit player with solid skills, but to say he is a generational player at this stage is laughable.
GUS saying he is the best he has ever seen is just how we all see it, an attempt to use his position in the media to skirt around the recruitment of a contracted player. Fittler, Daley, SBW , Brasher were be better at his age.

He could also be in the same mould as Ash Taylor , Dave Taylor , etc where he has shown what he has and cashes in now and becomes average to poor as he doesn’t have speed or a kicking game along with his passing needing work.
He was a second rower in the HM team so I believe he will end up in the forwards and he will need to learn how to tackle and put on some size which should happen naturally as he ages , however speed will not improve with him getting heavier.

Unless we get.a good deal, I say welcome to #18 not reserve grade.

 

[Bellend]

It is a case of do we hold you to the contract or release/trade him early West Tigers will not win either in the court of public opinion and that is a fact. Trade him to Parra and get Charlie Guymer and Sam Tuivaiti for him. Trade him to the Bulldogs and get Blake Wilson and drew Hutchinson in return.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

He hasn’t just gotten under the skins of teammates; he has well and truly rubbed the fans and supporters the wrong way.
I personally think the criticism he has copped is fair and just based on how this has panned out thus far.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I suspect the board meeting will discuss new players for approval, player extension options and players we don’t extend approvals and then Galvin exit strategy.

 

[BAGNF05]

Too much emotion from fans which is to be expected. If he wants to leave and a club really wants him, treat it like a business transaction and demand something back.

 

[supercoach]

If the club wants to gain something substantial out of releasing Galvin, they better act quickly. His value in the market place must be on a rapid slide as clubs become aware he is a long way off the real deal and potential is not worth a million dollars a season.

Like others I hate seeing Moses once again screw us over and win and would rather see him rot in reserve grade for a year and a half but in reality that doesn’t help our club to get stronger and more competitive. I think the bye round will see plenty of things happening around Camp Concord and let’s hope it’s positive

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

it is not like galvin is taking up 500k in cap space, it is 350k for 2026 we can just absorb that an sit him in reserve grade as cover for thst price if we do not recieve an adequate trade e.g. kikau, Preston

Who cares about public opinion anymore, the public has an extremely short attention span now days. Guaranteed once it’s all done and often even before it’s done, the next nrl story comes along.

As long as we are winning games no one will give two shits. We just need to find better players.
