Lachlan Galvin #277

[Snidest 0]

My mate at work knows Galvin's family pretty well hence I mentioned last week about Moses and as weidler is reporting he already asked questions early in the year.

Galvin will be in demand at the end of the next contract, Moses ain't stupid

Why suggest the Roosters as the likely destination though given Politis fell out with Moses over the Suaali rugby deal?

Moses will undoubtedly want Galvin to test the market rather than extend - but he has more influence over several rosters/coaches including Parra, Manly, Broncos ... than he does at the Roosters currently.

mate i didn't suggest Galvin to the Roosters.... that was the poster who said I said that and he was incorrect and trying to be a smart arse not Chad all cool there, but the smarty after that who chimed in calling me out claiming I said bula was going to Roosters.

I did suggest Stefano to the Roosters

Lachlan Galvin missed his first tackle in first grade today. In his three games, he has made 69 tackles to go with that. Unheard of for a rookie to put those numbers up in defence, let alone a rookie half.

Nice.

Just saw the ad for 7 news having a story of Luke Brooks having a message for Galvin. Tip for Galvin, whatever Luke Brooks says, do the opposite, you're already a better player than him and Brooks is one of life's losers

If we are winning games and are true contenders to a title or build the proverbial “dynasty“ then not only will players want to stay new ones will want to come.

Agreed. Him staying partially comes down to the shape we’re in.

Agreed. Him staying partially comes down to the shape we’re in.

Winning helps retain most of our top players. Given his manager has tried to get him released already following signing Latu and Luai, I'd say moving him from the halves might be tricky if he wants to be a 6.

If he moves to the back row it probably won't be for a couple of years if at all so nothing to worry about for now.

It’s a waste of energy having that conversation. He has the 6 locked in for the foreseeable future.

 

[TCL]

Still a lot of moving parts its only round 4. Looks like Galvin is going to be out for a few weeks. We might get a look at Latu in first grade soon? That will give us a better indication of where we are at.

 

[supercoach]

You can’t worry about things you have no control over like will Galvin re sign. As club you have to concentrate on the things you can control and the other things tend to fall into place. Create a successful club with a happy environment and the brown paper bag offers are less tempting. As Penrith and Melbourne have found, winning comes at a cost and the salary cap forces you to shed players. Anyway we have Galvin contracted for a couple more years, so there is breathing space

 

[Dino]

Him being suspended might be a bit of a blessing in disguise since players as young as him tend to get rested for a couple of weeks during their first season, now we can do it with minimal media fuss

 

[BZN]

Really? The people that were there when Moses vowed to bring the club to it's knees are gone ( namely Pascoe) If we keep winning, Lachy gets what he's worth along the way, and the club isn't the basket case it previously was, he won't move him on.

Wow. Moses actually said that did he?
And here I am, can't stand him and I didn't know he had said that, or I've forgotten.
Simple...I can't stand him twice as much now .

 

[BZN]

Yes

Doesn't really matter him missing out on a chance for Rookie of The Year.
He'll have so many trophies and medals in a couple of years, he'll have to buy a bigger house.

 

[BZN]

I love that he talks up Benji at every opportunity he gets. Could help with retention and recruiting so much more in the future with young guns.

I find it Very hard to come to terms with our current player situation.
We came last in the 2 proceeding seasons meaning we had a pretty crap team or coach or club or the whole 3.
Now here we are debating which current really good player we will need to dispose of in some way next year.
I don't envy Richo's or Benji's job in having to make decisions like that .

 

[BZN]

mate call you.on that one, I never said that so bs from you there...

Stefano hasn't resigned here yet so I may not be wrong there

sad thing is if I'm right re Galvin. time will tell really hope i am wrong.

Yeh...I think @The Chad was very unfair in the way he worded his initial post, saying it was a poster.
So, you immediately presume it was a poster on the WTF.
Then he throws more fuel on the fire by refusing to say who the poster was, when he could have ended the speculation there and then.
But no, he drags it out to a 3rd post before he reveals "to be fair, his surname IS Anasta".
I reckon you were Very Unfair Chad.

 

[Tito Santana]

Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read on here 🙈

X2

Crazy idea, but if Galvin and Luai are killing it, perhaps Jahrome shifts to lock? He is a decent defender and a big body.

WTF?

Fair enough.

I just hope that "Negative Nancy' knows I was just poking fun.

I thought maybe the reference to Chicken Little & Keyboard Hero might have indicated I was having a bit of a laugh, but I guess not.

Now, to be fair- you could have just ignored it all, instead of being Nosey Parker from around the corner...

It really is crazy, people have short memories...someone mentioned were going to create a dynasty (after 2 Ws on the trot)
Players are coming and going all the time by the time we need to be concerned with all this so much will have changed and the situations almost odds on will be very very different

 

[stephen]

I reckon he will be going crazy over the next two weeks and will be super pumped to come back in round 7.

Haha. He'll be like a kid grounded by his parents, watching all the other kids playing in the street.

yea, and even just winning semi regularly.

We saw how 4 halves in Hastings/Crossland/gamble/etc all were hanging around Newcastle. Ofcourse the Andrew Johns factor helped... They wanted to play and wanted to play together.

Yet I look at both Galvin and Fainu, they are going to want real coin. Sullivan too is probably wanting more then his 500k, but maybe he would he happy being a backup half if the playing group is really good.

How we keep Fainu and Galvin is the big question. Unless one moves to lock, we will likely loose one.
