Does anyone really think Galvin will be here next season?? Please the wheels are in motion. The shame is he did not want to stay for what pacific reason and on those reason the club should invest more time and money on.

Elaborate, where do we need to spend more time and money on?

Club should have sent both Galvin and TDS straight back out in a jacket if poor boys cold and wet , and sign some autographs for the people who paid money and watched them play , I don’t care what anyone says but that footage of them was poor for from both

Galvin and Luai have the biggest divide of anyone at the club. The body language looks horrible. Their interaction on the field looks forced. Something has clearly gone down bubbling beneath the surface for a while now, they haven't combined as good as they can be both being great players

Yep , it doesn’t look good , when Luai and others stayed out there for ages afterwards .
I don’t want to buy into the body language stuff , but at the least it shows a lack of ability to read the room , or care too ! Because the fans might not seem important , but if they turn on you as a player , coach , even administrator, there is no coming back from that .
But I’m not that fussed with TDS . He’s a good footy player , but we have always had a conveyor belt of great dummy halves coming through . And present day is not excluded to that . Bailey Hayward has HUGE raps on him .
And there’s others in Matt’s and so on . I eventually think if TDS left with Galvin to the eels , we could get by with Hope off the bench until Hayward was ready .
But I’m hoping TDS love for the club and the tigers will out shine any bad mouthing from the Galvin camp .
I mean at the end of the day it could have been Galvin bitching about something so he went with Galvin to the back room for a private conversation . Just being an ear for his mate , who’s going through it.

Go to 2:12 hours in the kayo broadcast and it's quite worrying to see galvin leaving swiftly...

Who cares about Galvin bro ! He’s a means to an end until Latu takes his spot . And we swap him for something we actually need . IDGAF about that kid mate , outside of he’s not causing disharmony within the playing group whilst he awaits his release .

Agree L anyone who thinks Galvin might change his mind is grasping at straws, wonder boy has made up his mind.
Just wish Latu wasn't made of glass, Benji was injury prone early in his career but grew out of it we can only hope Latu does the same.

Put it this way if Latu was sound, couldn't give a rat's crack what Galvin does but for now until Latu's body is more resilient we need to
keep him on the roster, It's annoying I know.

The helicopter father pointed out lack of skills and development, and this is a area few other people have complained about in both sets of Balmain and Wests in recent months. Who is the kicking coach at West Tigers??

I do not care Galvin is leaving but i question had Large had known would he have stayed??
 
Unfortunately Benji inadvertently gave Galvin too much hope last year when he told him to play what he sees and control the team. Even if Galvin wanted to change his mind now I think it’s too late. The club will now go and buy what they need to move forward and Galvin may live to regret what sounds like an immature reaction of a 19 year old that was reinforced by an imbecile of a manager.

The moment where Galvin and Luai celebrated the try - I think these moments are more real as there’s no awkwardness. It’s pure reaction, but when there’s more time to think about it it probably gets a bit awkward.

There was another moment after a try where Galvin says “nice pass” to Luai and I think he says “thanks Bro”. My feeling is that Galvin is trying to mend the relationship, Luai is all business and Galvin probably feels that Luai still hasn’t gotten over whatever happened.

I scoffed when I read this, so out of curiosity I went back and watched it.

The first time I just saw Galvin get up before Luai was entering the room.

The second time, I saw that Luai was talking to people just out of the room - likely well within earshot of Galvin. When Galvin gets up, he very obviously looks twice in Luai's direction as he is heading his way, and it looks obvious avoidance imo.

I'm just playing devils advocate for the fun of it - so don't go all nuclear on me! - but I'd say Luai has very little patience for Galvin and that Galvin suspected he was in line for a dressing down over something and he didn't want to deal with it.

Luai is older, a far stronger personality than Galvin and the team captain. I think Galvin is young and doesn't go well in personal confrontations so avoids them as best he can.

* Teams (like any workplace) are always going to have people who don't particularly like each other.

I just checked it out and made an assessment for fun; I don't think Luai likes Galvin, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.....

For me I think galvin looks at luai like a coach, not a teammate. Especially when you consider benji's dynamic with his senior players. Very reliant on them
