OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277

[Canadian Club]

Can confirm Seyfarth has been in a few times. Generally Terrell and co. call Twal and Doueihi and the other Lebanese boys the "habibis" and in the last vlog called Seyfarth a Sri Lankan (go to 20:00). He mentioned that Doueihi, Twal, Seyfarth don't hang out with anyone else just each other.

Watching Terrell's vlogs I think the core group is Jarome, Terrell, Fonua, Royce, Turuva, To'a, Skelton, Api and the Fainu boys. Mostly, the guys who went to Grubbies after the Dolphins game. Although Naden featured heavily in the last vid (probably as it's the first vid he isn't injured). In the last vid I saw Tony Sukkar (hanging out with Luai, Mason and some others), Charlie Staines and Alex Lobb for the first time. I think Josh Feledy also passed by as someone made comment of a mullet.

From the normal top 17 (+ Naden and Luke Laulilii). I've seen Turuva, To'a, Skelton, Luai, Api, Pole, SamFainu, Hunt, Bird and Sione very frequently. Doueihi, Twal, Bula, Seyfarth, Laulilii and Naden seen from time to time and generally interacted with. Not too much TDS and Galvin but I think the boys like Tallyn from what I see. Solomona Faataape also on a decent amount.

Yeah i know Naden is close to Heath Mason, they both live down the south-west and car pool to training together. Naden and Staines are also close. All the poly boys are very close, and its evident.

The young guys Galvin, TDS, Kit, Luke, Heath, Matamua, Saukuru, Feledy, Latu and Samuela are all very close. Galvin, TDS and Luke Laulilii in particular. From what ive heard Luke and Galvin are the closest as they were in the same year at Westfields Sports (Tallyn and Latu the year above). It makes sense with all those guys as they're all around the same age, came through the grades together, went to school with each other and played in junior rep teams together. Those boys would have all know each other for 6+ years.

I'd have no hesitation in letting Galvin go early if we get DCE for 2026 and 2027. Imagine DCE mentoring Fainu and Luai to an extent for game management.

DCE is durable as anything. He will play for next two years without a doubt.

I’d rather an immediate swap given DCE’s age.

Cherry Evans will never lob here

Roosters or bust imo.

From having a shortage of halves they are now looking at a bit of a 3 way battle for spots. Not sure they need DCE.

They didn’t need Cronk either. They operate on a different level.

 

[Big Red]

Im not even sure a premiership this year would convince Galvin to stay

I think if he was making his own decisions there’s a chance he would stay to play with his mates. However, it seems his father and the leech are the ones pulling the strings. They clearly have other ideas for his future.

I don’t like the way he says “I’ve got a lot of support around me”, you’d rather him say “I’ve made the decision and I know those around me will support it”

Be interesting to know who’s calling shots.

[TurnStyle]

He's not, he is managed by Tartak who has a good relationship with the Tigers. He has Bird, Feledy, Makasini, Taupau-Moors, all 3 Fainus and Laulilii brothers all at the club. Most of those guys have signed or re-signed recently.

TDS is very close with Galvin but I dont think that will impact him leaving. The Api re-signing will play a bigger role. Richo has said that Tallyn loves the club and doesn't want to leave. The only issue is playing time.

Also, when Terrell May scored against the Eels he did the 'salute' celebration which I thought was a gesture towards Benji. Tallyn did the same celebration after he scored at Leichhardt, so he seems to get along with the group very well.

Not to be picky, but I wish they'd use an Australian salute; But that's American movies' and tv influence.

Gotta admit though for Anzac round TDS' American salute irked me. Not the end of the world (and he didn't know any different), but there are plenty of vets who aren't exactly the greatest admirers of the US.

Just saying....

Naval salute is palm down and has been glorified in movies more.
And i was taught it had something to do with dirty hands from working on ships and not wanting to show dirty hands to the queen or some crapolla.

 

[The Chad]

Forgetting the tackle that saved the game?

No...I literally mentioned he should get credit for that.

Thats correct ✅ stokers working on the engines with dirty hands.

Army and RAAF salute showing palm

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

Galvin will regret this decision hugely, Mitchell M will crap out with his foot and then all the responsibility of running a poo team will fall on his shoulders. Actually feel a bit sorry for the boy, he is obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed and has been played like an accordion by his manager.

 

[The Chad]

People make dumb decisions based on small increments of money.

Galvin would have earned $1m a season & been in a system that is proving can work.

But, for the extra couple of dollars he will move to another club & into a system is not guaranteed to suit.

You see it happen all the time in a work environment.

I'm not saying Galvin is going to fail elsewhere.

But I am saying he's unlikely to be earning $1.5 million a season (I'd say half a million is worth taking the extra money for at that stage) & is risking putting himself into a situation that doesn't work for maybe a 5-10% overall financial increase on what the Tigers offered.

I may be looking too much into this but the lack of Lachlan bar 2 seconds anywhere in Terrell May latest Vlog is concerning. Maybe he is just going teenager hiding in corner who knows.

He hasnt featured in many of them all year from what I've seen

 

[mtd#2]

In the last two vlogs he was in them earlier. Also no TDS is a concern, I have the bad feeling he’s going with his buddy. I read somewhere recently from Galvin indicating that he has his supporters and obviously non supporters in the camp. If u watch the game on the weekend Galvin was around TDS a lot, he also looks off, like he wants out as well. Pond scum is a cancer, and his players act like an infection going through the camp. If TDS goes as well it’s time to cut all ties with pond scum players.

I think your reading too much into it

 

[mtd#2]

Obviously we only see very small snippets of the playing group such as what we see in Terrell’s vlog etc, but from what we see it does look like the core playing group are very loud and have very different personalities to others within our playing group.
Having different personalities is normal in any workplace, but is it a concern that some players such as Galvin and TDS might not feel like they really fit in ?

No
In footy teams there are always different clicks.
There might be a group of 5-10 that are the core and then the rest who break into different clicks.
This can be based on who their friend groups are, who they grew up playing with, whether they are married with kids, whether they are of the same heratige, age... So many different factor.. even if they play video games...
It is completely normal.

They aren't all best buddies, no team ever is.
Whats important is they can rock up to work and all get a long...
Just because player A and player C are part of different clicks and don't have anything to do with each other, it doesn't mean a thing.. as long as they have the common goal to win as a team and can get along to a degree ..

Listen to the most recent Matty johns podcast where they interview Justin horo about his time at manly with the rift between two groups DCE and the Stewart's... That was toxic... The tigers sounds NOTHING like that..

I think people are over analysing this because of the blowback Lachy got when addressing the group... Which was a different situation because it was suggested the coach/playing group wasnt good enough via the media and Lachy probably didn't communicate the right way by having the approach "you do you, I do me".

Maybe, we will see.

I don’t like the way he says “I’ve got a lot of support around me”, you’d rather him say “I’ve made the decision and I know those around me will support it”

Be interesting to know who’s calling shots.

Has Galvin actually said he thinks his game would develop better elsewhere? Maybe I have missed it.
