Why are you so convinced Galvin leaves next year? Because I have sources near it and they are saying the complete opposite.

Galvin will also enjoy it more here next year when Luai is with him

Can't wait for that

I dont have a lot of faith in anyone here who claims anonymous sources

He rejected Richo’s offer for an extension - why ? Could be getting paid more money now..

Is he or his family enamoured with what his agent is telling him?

 

[Tom Shines]

This weekend is fine.
Surely you can understand of letting him find his feet in NSW cup after coming back from a head knock. The speed of the games between NRL and NSW Cup is very different. Be patient my friend.

Will see if they pick him tmrw

Have some faith mate

Luai will make the difference

Sezer has had his moments, but overall, he has been very poor given his experience.

He has failed in a number of areas where an aging halfback should at least be competent.

Last tackle options, kicking execution and unforced discipline-based errors just being a couple of areas of issue for him this season.

Yeah. He's had a funny sort of season. He's definitely been good in some areas, particularly first half of the season, but as the season has gone on a few areas have been exposed. The suspensions haven't helped.
For the first part of the season his defence was solid enough and he was actually driving the line speed. His kicking game was also pretty good, a big improvement compared to what we had become accustomed to with Luke Brookes and Brandon Wakeham.
Second half of the season he has shot out of the line leaving either side of him exposed, his kicking game has gone off a bit. Maybe the wear and tear back in NRL has been a factor, but he has been suspended for about 6 or 7 games from memory. He is worth keeping as a backup option for another season I reckon, but only if Bud Sullivan moves on.

He defence was pretty poor against rabbits, watched him miss and fall off alot of tackles ... I wish he hadn't been suspended, and galvin hip drop, really scuppered any combinations ....

 

[happy_tiger]

Just my opinion
If he is as good as people have mentioned he should be able to kill it in reserve grade and get his confidence back up.
Hate to see him get another shot this year in our top side and heaven help us he gets another injury.
This year is over let him start again next year.

Yeah I agree ....let him build some confidence at lower levels until seasons end

How much was the offer compared to what top halves in the game are earning?

Lachlan could:

- sign on the lower end of the scale now and commit.

- wait till next year, see how he gels with luai, in which case the tigers offer him more money.

- he gets injured and resigns at a lesser amount because he values loyalty after an injury.

- he leaves for ALOT more money.

He won't leave if we pay him what he's worth. He'd be stupid to lock in a $$ figure now unless we are offering him a generous amount.

Your sources don’t know?

But they tell you he is going to remain here … Do you want to elaborate on what more they said …and how they might know what he might do? I imagine info like this would be pretty tightly held …

 

[balmain boy]

Benji basically just said that we've had a horror injury toll, and then players haven't been in form of haven't got their fitness up to speed.
If anything, what he said was a slight on Sullivan, who's played a lot more Cup. Definitely nothing with Fainu, the poor kid only just got 80 mins under his belt for the first time this season.
Does he offer more value on the bench than TDS though is the question

 

[Tucker]

Why does that matter? Is he currently one of the top halves? Is he always destined to be in the halves? His own coach isn’t sure.
We give our backup halves $500K. …

If the tigers consider Galvin a back up half then the club has a serious problem.

He hasn’t even completed one season.
Stop getting so far ahead of yourself.

Ok mate, what criteria has to be met in Tuckers little handbook to be classified a fulltime NRL player?

No you are right. Let’s put everyone who plays occasionally good on top dollar.

I'll put 10k on it with you that Galvin is one of the top 5 pivots in the comp within the next 3 years.

I tried to give him time to understand the logic but have realised there is no logic

I like how you always play the man. I’ve had an answer for everything you’ve said. That’s what a forum is for. Discussing topics.
You’ve made this strawman in your own head that I don’t rate the kid. It’s false. I just don’t lick his bootstraps like a lot of you do.

Now we are getting somewhere.

I have been inviting you into a discussion over the last week or so around Galvin and Sezer. But as you said you "have an answer for everything", with one line responses.

One line responses arent a discussion. Why don't you engage in a discussion (if you really want that) and unpack your points to help me understand where you are coming from? Now that would be good communication..😅
