Galvin

[General Stripes]

Absolute f**king joke.
Moses needs to be banned from dealings with the club.
get all the boys to talk to Bula regarded the stain.

Richo needs to go to the stain and say you will get your release, but first tell us 4 clubs you want to go to. We will then make a deal with them to get something big for an early release. If the deal is as big as they are saying then they should happily throw some good stuff towards the Tiges.
If not either sit at home or play NSW Cup.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

We've got to do something. If we just release him and get nothing in return it just paints a picture of the club as a doormat and being able to be stood over. This has been the case in the past and its what we're trying to change.

All the issues that are at the forefront now have been engineered by grub, Galvin and his team to break a legally binding contract. He is so hated within the team its impossible for him to come back to it. There's virtually no chance of him owning up to his mistakes, apologising, and rebuilding trust.

If we let him go and let grub get what he wants then we might as well disband the entire club as we'd be nothing more than a feeder club to the rest of the league. We have to stand strong against an insideous agent who through pure spite, is looking to destroy the club.

It's a shame that Galvin has allowed himself to be used this way but he's made his bed. I'm so sick of him being called a kid and defended for these grubby actions. He's a man, albeit a young one. Start acting like one.

Couldnt agree more.
Hes a good kid just been brainwashed.
My direction in this would be to keep him playing every week. However I would put him in Flegg and play him at lock or in the backrow.
You wouldnt want him to take someones spot in the halves when you know he is leaving plus you dont want to help any other club thats signing him as a 5/8.
Keep him playing so that the Mental Health issue is not relevant. Put him in Flegg so he is not around the 1st grade squad so the "bullying" issues cant be raised.
Play him in the backrow so he is not taking a halves spot to hinder the development of others that are signed long term.

Remember we are dealing with Benji Marshall the most beloved league figure around, inside and outside the media. Known for his stance on drugs humble, caring, bloody near the best half theres ever been etc etc what judge is going to rule against him.. if it were a movie, Moses would insist the case be held in Perth, to ensure there’s no bias or media influence on the outcome..
another thing ..Moses may think Turuva’s money money post will implicate wt as bully’s…in fact his clients list of problems with Benji should make it clear to the judge how irrational Moses is, once each point is proven to be way off the mark, and the case be thrown out

This gets my vote.

I do think Galvin has some mental heath issues and has done before he joined. It would seem he has a strong dose of Narcissism.

Narcissism meaning is a self-centered personality style characterized as having an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs, often at the expense of others.

I remember Luai having a friendly relaxed interview when he was asked if he had a response to Galvin saying he was teachers pet ( obviously a position Galvin coveted ) Luai didn't believe it and asked when he said it. When told just a few minutes ago Luai seemed shocked and said he would talk to him about it later.

(To covet means to have a strong desire for something, especially something that belongs to someone else, often with a sense of envy. It implies an inordinate or wrongful longing for that item or quality.)

I’d prefer he get selected in the from row in nsw cup for the rest of his time with us

I wonder if his mental health was mentioned on IM list of 7 reasons why he wouldn't resign with the WT. It's BS and an insult to people that actually suffer from mental health problems.

And it’s now so obvious what they are doing.

 

[Das Hassler]

I really don't put much of this down to Galvin himself...Going right back to his first request for a release when he would have been 17 ( duh) there was gutterwise IM whispering WT mischief into the ears of a green kid and his parents...I believe an obviously straight from school kid has been groomed to believe there is bad intent towards him from his teammates and coach and it's relentlessly continuing. Moses only sees another cash cow and ego validation. He should be out of the NRL and into boxing promotion where he belongs...that way there would at least be SOME chance of him getting a professionally delivered smack in the mouth

 

[Tigerm]

TBH, I didn't his ego would let him, so a well done for that.
Apparently, he didn't make much of a difference.

Completely agree. If only there were a test that could be conducted, like an xray for a broken arm. Unfortunately there's not and we have to deal with this BS.

It makes you wonder Das why grub even let him come to the Tigers in the first place considering what a toxic shit house environment we provide.

That's right, no one wanted him except for us.

After watching the Galvin saga unfold at the Tigers, the Bulldogs had internal discussions in recent days to weigh up the merits in making a play for his services.

However, Gould revealed to the Herald, the Bulldogs have decided against making a bid.

I believe the Eel are the only ones left?

 

[Das Hassler]

Untill he signs somewhere Gould is never out of the picture...no early release this season though..why should we be helping the eels and knights this season when we're jostling with them on the ladder

Issue is I dont think theres a hallf in our system not in the top 30 who is a first grade prospect. None of the nsw cup or flegg halves are. The club seem to like Balmain Ball 7 Marc Tannous but his ceiling is nsw cup to me.

Thought Lakeman looked good for Wests Matts, but hes like 15 (?)

So I get your point but he isnt really stopping anyone. Id say the clubs halves for the next 5 years will be Luai and Latu Fainu.

Watching this replay of the ch 9 round table tonight, it sounds as if ( quote) "distrust of Galvin" might be a case of what's said in the sheds hasn't stayed in the sheds. Seems that Moses might have had a bug in the walls of the sheds for awhile and Gould might not want one in his as well?
Speculation ( which doesn't help I know) but that seems to be what was being hinted at.

I think we all need to read between the lines on this.

- March 14 Dylan Brown signs a monster deal with the Knights
- Knights want him straight away
- Eels say "no way, not without a replacement"
- Moses says "I can get you Lachie Galvin"
- Eels say "sweet, can you get him this year?"
- Moses says "give me a few weeks to kick up a shit storm at the Tigers"

I'd pretty much bet my bottom dollar that is how it has played out.

As for Lachie, well I hope wherever he goes it works out for him.
You'd have to think most clubs are watching this all unfold and thinking he's little entitled.
There'd be many swearing off ever going near him as a result.

The poor kid is being very badly managed and advised.

TBH, once he leaves here, I couldn't give a f**k about him and I was one of his biggest supporters.
You also add the Knights in this as well.
