OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277

Here's a little insight that offers another angle to all this...

Apparently, Galvin had said to his manager that he wanted to play for the Eels eventually but was happy to try his hand at WT. They did the extension in 2023 at Tigers, were a little unhappy with Benji buying all the halves and some of his mates not getting the same fast-track as him, etc. BUT it was the fact that he had to move to the right-hand side that really made him feel shafted.

It seems petty but Galvin sees himself as a left-hand specialist. It wasn't that Luai came but that he took precedence due to his left-foot kick. THEN when Brown informed Parra he was leaving, Moses and the Eels had it all planned out with Galvin to partner Moses but on his preferred left-hand side.

Make of that what you will but if there's some truth to this, it suggests quite a bit of entitlement.

He was gonna get that anyway...$$ same
He will still be playing second fiddle to M Moses.who wont be as accomodating as Luai,particularly if things dont go well at Parra
Its a really strange move,underpinned by I Moses vindictiveness and general dislike of not being in control

I could see that playing a part and to be fair there are a lot of players who play their best on one particular side of the field.
The only thing I would say in response to that is that I’m sure Galvin has spent plenty of time attacking on our left hand side this season despite defending and being based on the right, so it’s not as if he is being restricted to one side of the field.

Interesting Aaron Woods said on triple m that Galvin was upset about Matamua and Brandon Tumeth being moved to Ron Massey cup - you can really start to see how we was starting to feel out of the loop. All his mates are leaving, but he better get used to that, it’s gong to happen every year, regardless of what club he’s at.

Woodsys making shit up - Tumeth is older than Galvin and come from Balmain…
Would be shocked if they have any history outside the top 30 last year

And if Galvin is so intent on winning - he should be happy he’s not playing with Matamua and Tumeth…
Those blokes can’t even win U20’s games.

And Benji, despite Galvin saying he wants out publicly, still backing him to be the face of the club.

Its amazing you wouldn't want to play under someone who has developed you as much as Benji has and still has faith in you despite the stab in the back
Click to expand...
What Benji says publicly and what he really feels Id say would be two very different things
He'd know Galvout is gone, wants out and has burnt his bridges, hes lost the respect of the team thats not easy to regain with guys like May Hunt Api Benji & Hodgo.
Benji knows he can say what he wants and it wont make a world of difference so just say whats best for the club and his team, he even copped one himself for the team saying ''most think I cant coach''

Yes, he played it like a pro...got a bit shitty at the end but who wouldnt with all those stupid unanswerable questions

lol replace Galvin with Moses in that story C and it’s truth . The lie is that Galvin gives a shit about a 22 year old Matamua and Tumeth . They’re all Moses clients

Could be some truth to this as Galvin is close to Matamua. I personally don't get what is going on with Matamua... I know the forum isn't a big fan but I thought when he came in last season, he straightened up our attack as a first receiver especially in the Titans and Canberra wins. He was poor defensively in the games after and deserved to be dropped for that, but so did Seyfarth and Bateman. In NSW cup last year he was our best forward. He created and set up quite a few tries in through the middle and scored a few himself.

Fast forward to the offseason and even Richo on the behind the roar podcast singled out Matamua as a standout in the preseason. To go from one of the best players in NSW Cup and standout in preseason to Ron Massey Cup at the start of the season, something has happened there. Probably has nothing to do with Galvin, he and his manager are just using and excuse.

I get where you are coming from, I wonder the same with Matamua and Staines myself.... Yet look at the results.

We had our star forward pack leave. I was expecting Pole, Seyfarth, etc to get wiped out. On paper they should be wiped out. We replaced 4 stars with Terrell May and Hunt. Hunt is a battering ram, but can't carry a team...

Whatever we have done with our forward pack, has been 100% right.
 
I'll wait for someone else to share the article but according to Weilder, the genesis of the Marshall vs Moses fued is Marshall disrespecting Sheens during the Tigers' courting of Mitchell Moses in 2023. Tomorrow there will another bogus claim from the Moses camp advanced by their media apologists like Weidler and Chammas.

The secret meeting that sparked Benji Marshall–Isaac Moses feud

The Lachlan Galvin saga at Wests Tigers has brought a long-standing squabble back to the surface.

The secret meeting that sparked Benji Marshall–Isaac Moses feud

Benji Marshall versus Isaac Moses is currently one of the biggest feuds in rugby league, but the reason they have fallen out has remained a secret – until now.

Marshall, through his brilliant media performance on Thursday, is winning the public relations battle. The problem is Moses doesn’t care about that, and Marshall is likely to lose the Lachlan Galvin war. It appears it is now up to Marshall and CEO Shane Richardson as to how many people are wounded or killed off, from a professional standpoint, in the process. At the core of it all is the Marshall-Moses feud.

The Wests Tigers have slammed suggestions that Lachlan Galvin has been the victim of workplace bullying after it was revealed he wants to leave the club.
Neither side is volunteering the source of the dispute. Marshall’s people say it may be because of the coach’s need to stand up to Moses, and more recently because of the nature of the John Bateman and David Klemmer exits from the Tigers. Both of those men are Moses clients.
But it’s deeper than that. My sources say it stems back to a secret meeting between Marshall, Mitchell Moses, Tim Sheens and Isaac Moses in early 2023.
That meeting was held when Mitchell Moses was negotiating his contract and exploring the idea of a return to the Tigers. At the meeting, Isaac Moses believed Benji’s body language and attitude towards Sheens was disrespectful.
It was not raised at the meeting. Instead, Moses let him know as much via a phone call the next day, and Marshall told him what he thought of that viewpoint in a direct way. The pair have been off each other since.
Moses would not be drawn on the matter when we asked for comment. It has been suggested to me that Sheens and Marshall are no longer close.
Marshall has the strong backing of his team in the battle with Galvin and Moses, but he may have reason for concern. Moses’ list of grievances with the club regarding Galvin is said to contain at least 15 points.
Marshall is aware of some of them, and there are some very damaging claims which he will challenge strongly. He may even wish to consider enlisting the help of lawyers. It has the potential to derail Wests Tigers’ season.
Marshall will be wondering how things changed so quickly with Galvin. About six months ago, he asked me not to write about him going to dinner with the Galvin family as part of the wooing process.

This would make sense. I have to ask though, if you were always a left side player, and now you're on the right, isn't that "developing" your game to be able to play both sides?

Call me biased, but does anyone else think he is over hyped?

I mean, he’s no slouch. Effort can’t be doubted, especially for someone who apparently doesn’t want to be here, he plays his heart out. He has a good short kicking game and his running game goes alright.

He isn’t an organiser, he isn’t super quick, he crabs around often. He’s not the kind of player who will win a game for you on his own, i.e Barba, Hayne, Marshall etc

To say he is a generational player is a stretch and I think him knocking our offer back is a blessing in disguise.

He isn’t at the level Tedesco was at when he left and I think Moses was a better player at that point too.

I don’t think he will be the generational player he is hyped to be, but who knows.

He isn’t in the same league as Cleary and never will be IMO

Richo thinks he's John Sutton, maybe that's his ceiling. I tend to agree dont think hes a Cleary. Will be interesting to find out.
