OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Tucker]

Roster still as many holes as swiss cheese. At least with LG gone, a concerted effort to sign reinforcements can recommence.

If they are only starting that now, we are stuffed.

 

[weststigers]

If you add Taylan than Doueihi becomes the back up half. Now I know he has deficiencies in that spot but we are talking about the halves here, there aren't many NRL starters who don't have deficiencies. I'm more than comfortable with Luai/Latu with Doueihi or Mason filling in when needed.

Latu hasn't been able to finish one full NRL game yet. My biggest concern is I'm not sure going chips in on a 19 year old during his development is the only way to handle it. In fairness, even Galvin should have been eased in and probably would have been if it weren't for the extreme pressure put on the club by his management.

Anyway, I know there are varying opinions on this and it will be impossible to get people to agree on the solution 100%. I just hope whatever we end up with works for us and brings success.

 

[Tucker]

He wrote off the coach and the club, and caused division in the team.

Sure hold him to a contract. 🙄

No he didn’t.
Yes we should have managed the situation better. Have you never seen people not getting along at work?

 

[mikey]

Glad he's gone. Enough of his name. He's dead to me

My plan A would be to get someone like Jack Cole to compete with Latu for the 6.

Tuck...your thoughts on the dossier? To me it's such a rat thing to do...should he not have discussed his issues like a reasonable human being?

I'd be pretty upset if one of my teammates had been building a secret case file against us.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

who have walked out the door - i know of a few who were shown the door

Who? Stef and Ice for starters.

Anyone thinking;
"no hard feelings, all the best."

Or is he enemy #1 for life?

Finally they can burn the latrine buckets, clear the atmosphere and focus on getting this team win heavy for the rest of 25.
Funny how hes gone to the dogs, you know nature vs nurture.....

 

[Winston Churchill]

Yeah, I see your point. I just think he could have anticipated all this. It was obvious last year he wasn't re-signing. And why offer a million dollar contract if he is so difficult?

My guess is that they rate him so highly and think he's so important that they kept playing him and chasing him despite his obvious disinterest. And I suppose if their assessment of him is correct and he does get that good, then you probably can't blame richo. To me they clearly rate Galvin much more highly than fainu.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Im 100% sure if Richo had his time again he would just show Galvin where the exists of the club were located.

I think they got caught up in the ease of complacency. The old Sheensy style, name the same 17 no matter what, when clearly Galvin should have been dropped for poor performances.. However they had decided to essentially bribe Galvin with game time (to appease his daddy) and then gave offers way over his current worth to keep him at the club. The media noise about Galvin being the next immortal would have also played a part for a struggling club wanting the next Joey/Locky/Benji marketing as a player at the club. I think they already have that in Jerry/Api/Bula. I just hope these guys are now the focus going forward. TDS is a very good player but he might be shown the door quicker if he tries pulling a 'Galvin'.

Latu and Galvin are both 19. Latu to me seems a much more dangerous half and long term half. I cant see Galvin being a 6 long term. Maybe a 7 but at 19 and 6 foot 4 or 5 he is gonna put on the beef as he gets older. Todd Payton being the exception, I dont see too many 110kg+ halves out there. He will end up a forward before too long just like Rowdy and Wiki and Luke Lewis and a thousand other kids that get turned into forwards as they slow down, pack on the beef and age.

Who would have thought anyone could take bitchells throne

 

[Wiz]

The problem with saying Galvin and Latu should be developed is our KOE team and coaching is so bad nobody is getting developed there. We must have the worst record for bringing players through in the NRL.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Be interesting to see if he improves in a new environment

He's been playing like a spud all year
Clearly his heart hasn't been in it
Good riddance.

See if he improves elsewhere.

unfortunately he will kill it

Id like to see some extra sauce on the kebab when we v them.
Soon.....

 

[loklok]

I'm Glad Galvin didn't sign the tigers contract offered. Yes he is talented but is he a game breaker .No . His future will be in the backrow with his speed and he is yet to put on weight .gives me Schuster vibes .any good luck to him .NOW LETS SPEND THAT MONEY WISELY RICHO

 

[tiger05premier]

if people dont believe Isaac moses is hell bent on destroying the Tigers .. here's just 3 times he has now screwed us by telling the player he has to fake reasons why he wants out:

Mitchel Moses to Parra
Ryan Matterson to Parra
Lachie Gavin to Dogs

are there anymore .. ??

Player has to be just like him to act like him

All 3 are scum bags

And if you believe certain media reports matterson has enquired about coming back because his greener pastures are now his graveyard

So stuff the lot of then

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

No he didn’t.

You have zero idea what he did or didn’t do.

I'm just thinking:

"Now Canterbury has two weak gutted dogs!" 🤣

I’ve never ever seen a manager “manage” personality clashes in my life . They are nearly always either settled between the 2 or 1 moves on .
You’re in a dream world .
Even when they’re settled it’s only a matter of time for time before 1 leaves the team .
They death ride each other behind thier backs , the teams nearly always split , and really whichever is the most popular in the group nearly always is the one who sticks around .
That’s the real truth !
It’s always almost to a man toxic AF.

The latter. Nobody, not even Tedesco, Woods and Moses shat on this club from a greater height. The positive of him going means I can openly hate him.
