OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[LARDS]

The boys should get a lift seeing the back of the spoilt dog and seeing Latu get his jersey. Let's hope he is ready to go for next week.

I thought I heard today latu has reaggrivated his hamstring so he'll be a few more weeks.

 

[tigertuff]

Not his fault TT. I can't believe at his age he is smart enough to think for himself.

And that is also sad.

 

[Odessa]

Galvin has become a Big Cancer cut him out get rid of him today just release him

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I'm going to Bali for a week, hope this sorry mess is sorted by the time I get back ........

Enjoy!

He's old enough to drive a car, drink and go to jail.

As Braith said on 360, this also reflects on Galvin, he isn't a 9 year old kid. He is an adult and has played his hand in this .

 

[GNR4LIFE]

WGD Moses last night told his client Sharon that Galvin won’t leave Tigers this year.

Any chance the Tigers are cutting him loose because he’s out of form and some of his suitors might have lost a bit of interest? Would be funny if he cops a hit financially.

Wishful thinking.

 

[BAGNF05]

The dominos seem to be falling for us to pick up Sexton. Especially if Latu can’t get his body right.

He is old enough also to command a million dollars? What's your point? And I'm not Braith. So think.

If all we get is $150k transfer for the DH its hard to argue we haven't rolled over despite all the big talking. Obviously there's plenty we don't know going on behind the scenes but the optics aren't great imo.
A player trade would have been better but getting a player we want and who's willing to come might not have been the easiest thing to wrap up.
The only thing that makes any sense is the environment with him in it is so toxic its not worth the trouble digging in our heels, imo the bullying stuff would amount to zero so i don't think its a huge factor.

Gus just tweeted implying he’s been in meetings all day, reckon there’s a player swap coming.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What makes no sense. When he leaves. You think we gonna be top 8?

Moses just agitates. He creates a situation that is untenable for the club to the point where the club can’t wait to get rid of him. He started with the Benji can’t coach approach (subsequently leaked to the media) and then was able to upgrade to the bullying route as soon as Luai and Turuva posted and May gave him a spray at training.

He isn't commanding money a million dollars though is he.. everything suggests it's about the coaching. So take your own advice eh.

I like Latu, but he isn’t ready to play first grade week in week out yet.
He’s played 27 games of senior footy across the past 3 seasons.
The guy is struggling through a horrible injury run.
The timing is awful. We need Bud back.

Alternatively, we do a three way workload shift between Api, Latu and TDS each getting about 60 mins of game time in the rotation. Not my first preference but workable. The other option is the have Kurt Falls rotate with Latu and build some synergy between KoE and FG. We have options if we think a little outside the box that allow us to develop a couple of players in the role.

The real question to be answered is: does this change release Luai from having to set the play for Galvin's sweeps etc. What I means is ff we were to select a left side right side playmaker and let Bula sweep left and right depending on opportunites instead of Galvin sweeping left and Bula right we are surely in a much better position. Both Luai and whoever the other half is get to play their natural game. The only issue I see with this is that both are genuine 5/8ths as opposed to halves. However, Luai came here to prove himself - now is the time to make hay!

Luai is clearly doing the organising on the field in conjuntion with Api, who is not afraid to overcall and make decisions. So even though Latu doesn't have a great voice on the paddock this could be a combination that works well. It is clear from Romey's comments that Latu would be his preferred halves partner.

The other thing that this may unlock is Sam F - what if we swapped him onto the other edge with his brother and bought Sukkar (until KPP or another FG ready edge arrives) in as a Kikau type ball runner with Luai - now we know how that combo worked for the Panthers

The bigger question is: Who do we grow and nurture as our next half? Why? Because the good teams have a developemnt and succession plan.

Pay me. I will give you an answer. In your time.

Mate, I'm paying with my ears (well eyes)- the floor is yours young man!

You asked the question.

Galvin has become a Big Cancer cut him out get rid of him today just release him

Spot on. It’s in our best interests that Galvin doesn’t play for WT or the Magpies again. If no-one wants him this year that’s his problem, not ours. Tell him we’ll pay him but he won’t be playing for us. He’s old enough to understand what that means.
