OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[finnzo]

Chammas easily my favourite journalist. That took balls last night Phil Gould is an imitating powerful man. Was so good to see him have ago at him and put him in his place.

 

[Tucker]

Yeah Freddie, like he's a great judge and Galvin really killed it in the P.M.'s 13.

Freddie is a great judge.
He is one of the only people about that has experienced what Galvin is going through. Schoolboy prodigy entering first grade young and left the club that groomed him to chase fame and fortune elsewhere.
Won premierships, SOO series, World Cups, Test series, captained everything, won all the awards, is in the hall of fame, coached first grade and NSW and is considered a strong chance of one day being awarded immortal status. He has also remained in and around the sport as a commentator and expert for the better part of 2 decades.

If you step back and look at this from a completely neutral point of view, it's absolutely staggering a player who is so young, who is way down the pecking order of being number 1 in his position has garnered so much media attention over the last 18 months. He is a dead set walking headline.

The media created the hype and they are going to milk it to it runs dry. There is a real chance that Galvin will be the one who eventually suffers from the hype if he ends up just being your meat and potato standard NRL player and not a future immortal. Although I guess he can thank the hype for a inflated salary

Kalyn Ponga signing for Newcastle might be the last time I can recall a teenager getting so much attention from the media.

Did you watch his interview with Jessica and Noemi Fox?

Did you watch his interview with Jessica and Noemi Fox?

Im talking purely football.

I know...its mind boggling

I see a young guy who when he first came into NRL looked right at home, like hed been playing the grade for years

Since then hes been good, often not so good...Id love the hear in depth what some of these experts can see what he'll bring in the future, Braith reckons hes a real ''footy head''...whatever that means

I guess in three years with a NRL body and the experience that comes with time hes potentially a very good player, in what position...who knows

Braith and Gordy both said he is unproven and that they don't buy into the hype... They think he has potential to be good but that they have both seen much better.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Its a win for the fans as we are seeing some justice in a shadenfreude type capacity. There is some delight to be taken in watching the narrative turn on those who initiated this mess.
The club though? They still lose.
Our management were played and easily beaten.
Our coach has been dragged in the media - rightly or wrongly.
Another young gun walks.
This is the 5th first grader in the past year to break contract and leave early.
The team is divided and not playing well.
We are left with only 27 players and surely everyone is suspicious of those coming up to contract renewal - especially TDS and the guys with the get out clauses...
The ego's of Richo, Marshall, maybe even Api and Luai have taken a hit
We have to start all over again training a half and the one we really want to succeed is always injured.
This, along with the SOO snubs is surely a red flag for recruitment, meaning we will possibly be back to paying overs
Once again, our club provides the drama which is usually disruptive and we're about to embark on the tough part of our draw.

Our club signed Galvin, TDS and co under the noses of powerful clubs including Canterbury. We did well and our staff involved in the identification, retention and development should be congratulated. This was a big win for WTs

Apologies, you wrote a "great judge" and he was interviewing them at a Panthers' game in his role as a commentator.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Galvin wasn’t in any of the training pics the club posted yesterday afternoon.

Thats not relevant to right now.

Obviously Im talking a great judge of football talent.
I couldnt care less that he made himself look a dick to some women he was trying to impress.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Thats not relevant to right now.

Of course it is, because as far back as HM, WTs resisted the efforts of clubs including Canterbury to get under our guard. The club can only do so much.

we won the comp in 05 as well...

 

[Tiger-ferret]

I was dissappointed with Smith. he has as much knowledge of the game as Gould and he could have added some weight to the Chammas side. The problem was though, Chammas was stating widely held opinions and was talking about Gould and the Dogs like Phil wasnt there and was easily interrupted and stalled by Gould stating 'thats not true'. He needed the receipts to say you said this on this date, you did that on this date etc...
An evidence based argument would have made Gould look a right liar last night. He certainly got under his skin, but didnt deliver a knock out blow for mine.

Isn’t Smith managed by Moses? Why would he jump in on that side of the argument.

Whats Moses going to do to him? He isnt a Mafia Don.

 

[mtd#2]

How is it not?
We can identify talent.
We still have Latu and TDS in our system
If we lose tem both then sure, it's an issue
But right now I don't think anyone's too upset Galvin is leaving.. and most importantly, I think the players are happy he's going.. and that holds more weight than any of our opinions here on the forum.

connect the dots.

 

[Droppy05]

A contract is a contract is a contract. For both sides. The end. No need for agents like 99% of the population who enter into employment contracts every day. Agent involvement driven by greed and greed alone.

Dazza ,I would generally agree about agents and greed. In this case IM and LG rejected Tigers hugh offer thus resulting IM losing a large amount in commission.
