OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277

[weststigerman]

The elite halves look they have time. Galvin looks rushed and has no fluency whenever he is under pressure. In my opinion he is zero chance or becoming a career long elite half. He will be a good player, but not a chance of being elite. We dodged a huge bullet him knocking back that ridiculous offer

Agree. That's been my point for a while with him.

Benji, Moses and even Brooks had this early on in their careers, they didn't learn to play eyes up, it was talent.

Iam not sure Souths would be keen to keep Bud at full freight. At present they are getting a goodish without being a world beater for a very discounted price as we are paying a fair chunk of his salary. If uncle Wayne wanted to extend the deal Iam sure we would expect him to up their contribution by a fair bit

Hes a back up at Souths no doubt..probably about 350k to 400k value.But hes happy there ,and Cory is not getting any younger and will incur injuries at 36,so Bud will almost certainly take a haircut and we will probably end up throwing in a bit too

 

[clontarfkid]

Mason has played about two NRL games and neither was at 6 … absolute prayer… this year anyway …he is also small and they will run at him all day…. Maybe when they are out of finals contention

He definitely has an issue under the high ball at 1,but thats not his natural position...just dunno about his defence at this stage which is why Id give him a crack to find out,and btw Galvin is no Terry Randall!
Mitchell wasnt so great last nite either against fast footwork

 

[Strider]

I dunno why ppl keep rating Mason tbh hah, maybe i will see it one day.

 

[TooLong]

Agree. That's been my point for a while with him.

Benji, Moses and even Brooks had this early on in their careers, they didn't learn to play eyes up, it was talent.

Other coaches have worked him out and pushing him sideways in attack. As we have no real shape in attack, he is going nowhere. Also, big forwards targeting him and running straight at him.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

I can't wait until Seyfarth and Naden are gone so we can get stuck into Douehi again.

Douehi can see out this year then piss off next year when we have Taylan May and Toa in the centres. It is painful watching poor old Douehi try to run, he is stuck in cement 99% of the time and offers no attacking threat at all.

 

[Moh]

Galvin is a decent player at this stage, far from the finished product he MAY become. I really don't see his future in the halves though, as much as him and daddy Gal think so.

Anyway, blame Luai before blaming Galvin. Especially for last night.

 

[hank37w]

What did he point to on his wrist.!

He was pointing out how limp and floppy it is which is why he couldn't ground the ball for the match winning try. Pathetic.

 

[hank37w]

Again. BENJI is the coach. He picked him. What is hilarious is - that if he scored that try - he would the hero. DHS.

Not necessarily regarded as a hero because if he actually scored that try it would have been the only thing that he did right all game, would only partially make up for all the other dud moves he tried to pull off the rest of the game.

 

[Curly_Tiger]

We should revise our offer
If it was a real market his value would be dropping

 

[Tom Shines]

What did he point to on his wrist.!

story I heard is that he has a matching tattoo with his old coach now at the Bulldogs …. lol if true …

 

[hank37w]

AHX - just as much chance of being a flop as a success. At the moment the latter is more likely. A few grand finals are no lock in, could easily be out of the league in a few years. New 6 talent comes along, slows, does not add muscle to move into forwards, keeps being a ball hog and not working well with a team. This could go either way very easily.

He'll do a Hunt and lose a Grand Final for his team, assuming he ever gets that far.

[hank37w]

He has a way to go. The deal offered was pretty insane. Maybe the last few weeks has shattered him, not sure. He seems a bit confused and rushes moves alot (taps ball on alot), or takes too long with passes. TIming seems off. Might just be a bad patch IDK. But Tigers don't need to develop his game, as playing for Tigers is not in his plans, so probably best to move to Latu ASAP right

But then so was the one made to Stefano, fortunately for us neither of them were taken up and we were lucky to dodge another bullet.

Richo must be certain that these offers are not going to be taken up and must do it to make the players and their half wit managers look like a bunch of brain dead fools for not taking up the best deal they could possibly get.

 

[Telltails]

The thing with Lachy now is I don't think he cares if we win lose or draw and that's how he is playing. He and his team have got his future mapped out elsewhere and WTs losing justifies their decision given that they think he is too good for them - taking no accountability for his own performances.
The glory look at me reaction after he scored/didn't score did it for me after what was a pretty rubbish game.
Want something for him but at this point I can see why people think the best option is to move him on.

 

[TT 01]

When can we expect to hear any news out of today. How good if the 3 way trade happened and we end up with KPP and Taylan signed today.
We can dream right?

 

[hank37w]

He just need to go, it's not working for the team period. He constantly kills all momentum in attack, constantly running sideways.

I sat in the second row from the sideline last night. Souths practically had the ball for the first 10 minutes straight and Galvin was in the bin for 10. In 20 minutes I watched Galvin throw 3 forward passes (only one was picked up) 4 hospital passes were the recipient already had the defence in their face, kick the ball dead for a 7 set tackle and throw the ball into Charlie Staines head .....

Someone please remind me how his good moment outway the bad .......

The relationship is toast and for the sake of the team he needs go now, I pray to God the board releases him asap.
!!!!

I think that anyone that watched the game would have made pretty much the same observations.

 

[Tucker]

Richo must be certain that these offers are not going to be taken up and must do it to make the players and their half wit managers look like a bunch of brain dead fools for not taking up the best deal they could possibly get.

That is a really dangerous game to play. If those two took up their deals, what would the side look like next year?

Agree —-however he could come to life at another club just like Mitchell Moses only then we see what his full potential is whether he’s a pretender or an elite!

 

[hank37w]

If the rest of the FG squad know he will only ever play FG again if we have major injuries then wouldn’t that work?

Unless we get something very good in return I feel that making him play out the rest of his contract in a lower grade would gain us the respect of most of the other clubs and may force the hand of the NRL do something about player managers and contracts, something that really needs sorting out on the eve of NRL expansion.
