Galvin

[Tigerm]

At 19 and you knock back a million for 5 years, no one in their right mind would do that unless they have had another offer.

Which they can now renege on, because it's illegal to negotiate with a player under contract, and they decide to offer him less hahaha

He is listed in reserve grade.

Sit him on the bench for reserve grade for 18 months is my advice to the WT.

Absolutely...maybe apart from the "on the bench" part..and let them know we can and most likely will use the depth ...why on earth not?. Wouldn't that be an awkward 18 months for Moses

Gardening leave I like that term.. Fkn hilarious one isn’t it. Gardening leave.. This term as implied, applies to someone that prob had a lot of clout and sway over the place at some point.. Fortunately Galvin hasn’t sat in that seat yet..although he thinks he has ..It’s only other “experts” that have fooled us into believing he has.. The team is so close to firing it’s not funny .. I’m looking at AD to flick the switch and turn it on baby. Then see Galvin for who he is..not much…and the boys will enjoy that stupid smile, for a change, from a distance eating humble pie, learning the actual hierarchy of the place..and he’s at the bottom of it ..Will do him the world of good.. I think this will bring the team together. And make them stronger as a unit and we should start winning those Newcastle type games more easily and even games more difficult, more easily

I'm starting to feel a little sorry for the moron. He needs to learn humility. It's good for you.

Galvin isn't on gardening leave though. He has been picked in reserve grade. If he doesn't feel bad now he is a psychopath. I put money on it that his manager is a psychopath.

I'm going Doueihi at 6/7 & Naden in the centres.

Yeh that will work. As I said before, when you've assembled a roster, you need all your players that are in it for the long haul to play as much footy together as they can.
I think in this crazy situation it will be determined by who has trained the best and who Benji thinks will give it their all. Crocodile Roll

He had to know what was going on, he made his bed, he has to lay in it.

This potentially gives Doueihi a life line for a contract extension. For his versatility and GK.

'Not easy': Tedesco admits sympathy for under-fire Tiger

As contract saga heats up

www.nine.com.au

An interesting piece.

Lachlan Galvin is reportedly set to be axed by the Wests Tigers for their Easter Monday clash against Parramatta.

The news reported first by The Sydney Morning Herald, comes a day after the Tigers confirmed the teen star had rejected a new deal with the Concord club, which was said to be prepared to give him a five-year deal worth upwards of $5 million.

Galvin's impending departure - currently to happen after 2026 - has sparked internal unrest at the club, with reports senior players want the five-eighth to be replaced.

The Herald reports utility Adam Doueihi will wear Galvin's No.6 jersey against the Eels in the traditional clash at CommBank Stadium.

Just how long Galvin stays with the club is uncertain since he is expected to be left out of the team when it is released at 4pm on Tuesday. 4PM cannot come quick enough.

It is not known if Galvin will be asked to play in the NSW Cup this week or will be completely sidelined by the club.

It's understood Benji Marshall's close relationship with captain and new recruit Jarome Luai is said to be the catalyst behind Galvin's exit. So the club signs a player who has won 4 GF's, played SOO, captains his country and that is the catalyst. The guy has some growing up to do.

According to the Herald, Galvin wanted more of a say in attack and didn't like giving up the reins to Luai in the halves. As above, the guy has some growing up to do.

However, the publication states Galvin's lack of belief in Marshall as a coach is the major reason why he wants to leave.

Yet there seems to be plenty of backroom politics involved.

Galvin's manager Isaac Moses has been telling clubs Galvin won't be re-signing with the Tigers due to the coach for months. Not a huge fan but now I really want Marshall to succeed.

Moses and Marshall reportedly don't see eye to eye.

Galvin supposedly believes Marshall's tendency to hire ex-teammates as assistant coaches shows the Tigers legend can only take him so far in his development. This has been written on this site by many, but starting out, why wouldn't Marshall get help from guys his knows & guys he trusts in Farah, Heighno, Hodgson & Morris?

Marshall reportedly called Galvin into his office in the lead up to the Newcastle match last week as talk heated up about his future.

It's understood Galvin told his coach he didn't necessarily want to leave, but was keen to test the market.

The report claims Galvin is wary of Marshall's close relationship with Luai. Grow up mate !! Luai and Galvin are civil but not close.

Galvin's resentment towards the Tigers outdates Marshall's arrival and reportedly stretches back to his junior days, where he was played in the back-row when he thought he was the best five-eighth rising through the ranks. maybe there are good judges who just didn't rate him as a 6 or 7

I'm thinking/hoping Galvin's mental health is ok. He's not an axe murderer but he has to learn and if that means by being humbled then so be it.
He's only a kid.
I'm more angry with Moses and his so called loving parents. Sounds and looks like they don't have Lachlan's welfare at heart but only his wallet.
A couple of weeks ago I said a college football system could work here where players are expected to complete year 12 whilst doing a rugby league apprenticeship starting in year 10 (I'm guessing)
Over 4 years competing in Flegg, Reserve grade and finishing in NRL.
Each year their wage rises and they don't get the first big contract until completion of the four year apprenticeship.
It's ridiculous having a 17-18 olds strutt their stuff around like they are Lord Muck without cutting their teeth first disrespecting team mates and coaches, oh and us of course.

He had previously requested 2 or 3 releases? He's f**king 19?

He's a pretty immature kid, we seen that in the off season vids on the training camp.

If It's Douehi for a couple of months I think he'll do great with Luai..also hope he gets extended

Adam definitely gets an extension. Played his role well. Besides goal kicking on the weekend lol.
He is a club man. He will do fine in the halves until Latu returns.

Where ever he plays, he will need to be in the side for his GK alone, he also deserves it, but while he was off last week, prior to that, he had been excellent.

He debuted in rd 2 last year ha ha

@Old Time Tiger - I love your comments on that article you posted.

Maybe, he didn't really want to be here, looks like he'll get his wish.
Sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
