OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

I know we're enjoying Galvin not going well but we have well and truly proven how valuable he is by our absolutely abysmal form since he left. He's obviously struggling at a new club but it's obvious he was pivotal to us. Again, I wish that were not the case and we could prove how we're better off without him. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Maybe we can show something at the back end of our season and prove it otherwise, but I bet he's looking back at our club feeling nothing but relief that he's not a part of this developing train wreck. Sorry to be so negative. But losing and gloating doesn't really work.

There's no correlation between Galvin leaving and our results as far as ability on the field. He played in the Storm game. He cost us the game vs Souths. He isn't the reason we lost 6 straight - not directly. Its the downstream impact of having to start fresh with a new spine. Injuries and suspensions didn't help either

Clearly they think they have more to gain with him than without him

Maybe ciraldo is a genius and it works..

But maybe it's the sort of move you see in an A grade comp that results in the coach losing his job in the offseason... The doggies won't sack him... But they are all on this strategy for the immediate future and it could define ciraldos career...

100% If it works, Gus is a genius. If it fails, Ciraldo wanted him and couldn't get the best out of him.

I think there are some things he brings to a team that are hard to articulate. It's no coincidence that our season fell apart after we put out that statement regarding him leaving. I don't think these two things are connected via footy though. I think the disharmony he brought to the entire club is more of a factor than his playing ability.

What he did bring football-wise is the ability to execute a three-pass shift from our own half which quite often got us out of trouble. I haven't seen us do that since he left. It was why we lost the Warriors game - we had no territory.

Can you break this down a bit more? Like, what was Galvins role in this?

Galvin was either the 2nd or 3rd receiver in a lot of those shifts. It would often be May to Luai to Galvin to either centre and then a line break. The upside of his play style is that he throws everything at the wall, even shit. The biggest trap you can fall into as a half is letting the hooker take control and have the game pass you by. Galvin at least tries something every set which can often be to the detriment of the team if the opposition shut it down quickly.

Thanks for that. Hopefully Luai can play that role this week.
 
Dogs will be fine, they have plenty of talent in that team and Galvin will have his usual game rocks and diamonds.

Wasn't our worst loss against the Storm with him playing? And all our losses and wooden spoon last yr?
 
Makes a lot of sense from the dogs POV to bite the bullet on Galvin now rather than later. Dragons haven’t been fairly poor this year (even lost to us!) so it’s a pretty low-risk gamble the dogs are taking.

Chances are dogs win this game as their team is overall far superior to the dragons and the media feasts all over Ciraldos brilliant move to put Galvin at halfback, even though the result likely would have been the same had Sexton played 🤷‍♂️.
