OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[NT_Tiger]

Galvin probably preparing the dossier right now.

LG's hand injury has been diagnosed as writers cramp.

But it’s very frustrating that we build these young kids from the ground up and as soon as they get to a decent level they think they are too good for us.
Hopefully the struggles these 2 are now starting to go through will be a lesson for our next wave of young talent to be aware of and hopefully realise that showing loyalty to the club that made you or give you an opportunity is the best development plan for young emerging players.

I don’t think we did build them. TDS got some development but essentially we panicked and threw them into first grade as 18 year olds and grew their egos/expectations disproportionately.
I doubt the lessons were learned.

We panicked so hard they're playing first grade at other clubs a few months later....

What is the name of the lesson? How to make the 8 while keeping the egos of the generational talents of Gen Z in check? Can you make some Tables for how that one pans out?

110% correct both where rushed before they needed to be, poor management is to blame for this b/s

No need to. It’s called Earn your Way.
If you had of experienced it yourself, you would understand the concept.

It’s a problem with a underachieving team
They get promoted too early.
The number of hope/potential youth players we carry in the top 30 is way too many.

Da Silva wasn't rushed. He got himself a contract elsewhere based on little minutes in FG. at WTs.
And have the Bulldogs managed Galvin any differently by throwing him in headfirst into a key position in a team that was in the top two when he arrived at the expense of the player that got them there. How did he earn that?
The whole NRL community have been doing somersaults over him he was never going to stay at WTs no matter how he was managed.

 

[Furious1]

Dumb career move from Galvin.
I wonder if he’s now starting to realise the grass is not always greener on the other side.
What’s done is done with both he and Da Silva and they are both now on over inflated contracts that they never truly earned, so we have dodged bullets with both of them.
But it’s very frustrating that we build these young kids from the ground up and as soon as they get to a decent level they think they are too good for us.
Hopefully the struggles these 2 are now starting to go through will be a lesson for our next wave of young talent to be aware of and hopefully realise that showing loyalty to the club that made you or give you an opportunity is the best development plan for young emerging players.

But it is greener. He will be playing in September while we are sipping pina coldas with our feet up for what....the 15th year in a row?

 

[orange&black]

The problem we have had in the past with these young guys being pushed into NRL early stems from a severe lack of depth over years. Because we haven’t had a quality NRL roster we end up playing kids that show some ability before they should be played. This in turn effects the whole club by stripping them out of their age groups and development grades thus weakening those teams and so on it goes until we have weakened all our teams by promoting guys to fill the gaps.
Along with this the club juggles the expectations of young players and their parents and managers who want them playing NRL and you end up with “TDS attitude”.
Of course it doesn’t help when your club is losing in practically every grade every week for their whole careers. The ones that have experienced winning in teams as juniors also have difficulty dealing with continually losing.

The way he’s going there’s is a good chance he will be playing reserve grade next week.
As others have pointed out it’s not entirely his fault as he is trying change his natural playing style to fit into the Bulldogs system as a 7, but it is mostly his fault as he knew what he was getting himself into.
Don’t forget that this time last season Galvin was regularly in the top 3-5 players on the field regardless if we were winning or losing.
Since he’s been playing 7 for the Bulkdogs he hasn’t been in the top 10 players on the field once.

 

[diedpretty]

My prediction is Galvin will be dropped for next week's game.

I noticed Ciraldo said players are training injured and therefore not playing as they should. Definitely sounds like a get out clause to drop the wunderkid.

Not Wankers Cramp ?

He must have caught it from his father.

Not the case if you’re watching from the sidelines after having played Reggie’s

These things can be transitory. Luke Brooks left so he could play finals football. That happened once and now he’s back playing for a plodding team going backwards. Dogs have had a couple of decent years but they’re throwing their eggs into the youth basket with Turdhead and the young hooker. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain a top 4 level over the next few seasons.
