It’s more about Gus having two responsibilities bulldogs and nine and to do one job he lies at the other.

Im looking forward to the Dogs turning Galvin into a 13. So much for 'my game cant develop under Benji" dribble that was floating around. The dude has long term backrow/lock written all over him. Get used to 40 tackles a game kid.

Dogs game is based on defence, a talent Galvin doesn't possess.

Gus is employed by Bulldogs and Ch 9. He has no obligation to anyone beyond that. Don’t blame Gus for getting his man. Be envious that we can’t seem to do this ourselves as a club.

Every way you cut it, this looks bad for Wests Tigers. We have a player on a long term contract, in a key spine role, on a cheap contract, who wants out and has at least two other clubs who want to sign him. And despite all of this, the best we can do is get a $165k transfer fee! No player swap! We got nothing. So Gus secures a player he has been desperate to sign, and in effect pays for wests tigers end of season trip in return. Ironically, we will probably be taking that end of season trip the Doggies are paying for at about the same time they and Galvin are playing finals footy. The fact he’s going there for about $300k per season less than we offered just makes it worse. Richo has done a commendable job as GM, but on this one, at least from a fan’s perspective, he has had his a$s handed to him by I Moses.

I don’t think it looks bad on the tigers. They would have known Galvin would go early as soon as they said he had beef with the club and wouldn’t resign, and there’s nothing they could do about it. It wouldn’t surprise me if that just left their mouth shut until it got closer to Latu being fit, then released the news about the “board meeting” to discuss Galvin leaving early.
There are plenty of players that want to be at the tigers, Latu being one of them. Galvin just doesn’t fit in there, and from what I’ve heard that’s kind of his personality.
It will be interesting to see how he goes at the dogs with Crichton, Burton and Kikau who are all friends with Luai. Sexton and Tracey are also well-liked, so Galvin better perform and stick to the plan, otherwise it could be trouble in paradise.
Something definitely happened between Galvin and another player - probably Luai. I’m sure it will come out soon enough.

It’s very disappointing he’s leaving and we can’t understand it because we think the Tigers on on the up…..and hopefully we are.
However, Galvin would prefer to develop at the Dogs and it’s hard to argue with that. This seems to be a Tigers problem that he doesn’t want to be here, for what ever reason.
What annoys me is why we didn’t make him work for it more or get a bigger transfer fee.
The way we handled it could have been better.
On Gus, he got Ciraldo and now he got Galvin.
We run second again, we all pray that will change SOON

Also... if Gus was doing it for us we'd be pretty happy. Can't deny the guy knows what he's doing, and the fact people love to hate him tells you he does it pretty well.

Does anyone got any ideas why? I think our team is heavy poly / indigenous and he maybe felt he didn't fit in. The doggies cultural mix is different to ours.
I'm not buying the coach thing.

Some of you lot just can’t resist turning every thread into a politics discussion can ya lol. I don’t see what the US President has to do with Lachlan Galvin.

Can we lock the American politics out of a thread meant to be about footy talk and Lachlan Galvin. I don't care how '1984' you think the "mods" are of this, we don't come on hear to talk about that

Okay this was quite funny i'll give you your flowers here 🤣
Team effort Gould, Isak Moses and Galvin orchestrated it, no doubt the bullying accusations were all part of the master plan - Richo, you were sucked into the vortex- I expected a better game from you.
Can’t wait ‘til Preston wakes up and realises he’s worth double and he’ll be carrying Leo Thompson’s bags for him.
Next Reed Mahoney will be pushed out to make way for TDS
I rewatched the whole Bloke in a Bar interview recorded just before the PMs 13 game which LG made in 24.
It might just be my take but you get a sense that he was just treading water at Wests and his interest in the side waned when Sheens was sacked and Benji was named as coach.

Further to this. People want Galvin gone ASAP. And if Gus screwed any club, it’s Parra. So what’s the big deal?

Will be interesting to see Anastas take on all this. I reckon he’ll temper his opinion regarding how badly tigers are treated.
The only people who were are impressed with how Gould got Galvin to the dogs are the dummies who believe the crap that he spews.
The whole goalpost changed explanation is laughable.
It was obvious months ago what he was doing and used his media position to make his intentions known without having to make any approach to the manager - an entitlement that no other GM has power to do.

he seems to be pretty open on his podcast about how he thinks this could derail Canterbury. he's an interesting character at the best of times, but credit where it's due, he's still been pro-Tigers when openly pondering Galvin to Canterbury.
