How amusing. Chins continues to sit in judgement on the opinions of others.

Is Luai going to help Penrith win games in 2025 ? The short answer is NO.

He's yesterday's fish and chip paper to me. He no longer plays for Penrith.... therefore his goings and comings to me are totally irrelevant.

If Luai chooses to come back to Penrith, well that's another story.

Galvin is an egotistical kid and is getting what he deserves.

 

[Sime_11]

i feel sorry for him personally - young kid who seems to be ill advised both Parents and player manager.

not worth the risk whilst he is under Moses management

This I believe is the most sensible article I've read about the Lachie Galvin situation.

How to burn a bridge: The Wests Tigers’ guide to talent management

The Wests Tigers didn’t lose Galvin, they torched him.

That has to be the worst piece of "journalism". Totally ignores Galvin and his camp taking a list of grievances with Benji into the contract talks and by his own admission in his statement that he wants to leave because it's for his development keeping in mind Benji who's one of the best halves of the last 20 years who's a golden boot winner, premiership winner etc. Plus Benji paired him with a 4 time premiership winning half who has taken his country to a record final and has won origins. f**k right off guy who wrote that.

Yeah bit of a backwards article from zero tackle.

But the points around the socials are spot on. It's 2025 so people are going to post rubbish online but it's entirely unhelpful and in my view unprofessional.

Moses is a slimy piece of work. He has done another number on the Tigers again.

I disagree a little. Luai is driving a team first everyone buy in mentality and Turuva apparently posted his privately and it was leaked by someone.

But yeah Moses should be de-registered again.

 

[Sime_11]

why do you need to drive team first mentality on social media? - as the senior half and "the guy" now at the Tigers - he needs to conduct himself as clean as possible on SM.

one person could argue its a team first mentality and we dont want dickheads (understandable), but another could argue that its becoming a clique within the playing group and if you dont bow to their demands (eg - Coach, we dont want him playing with us) , you're out of the clique....

Tito's joke just makes it look worse

id be filthy as a Tigers fan - just creating tension and a divide

So you think it's OK to bully a 19 year old teenager just because he doesn't want to re-sign with your club. Last time I looked everyone was allowed to have free choice in such matters.
At W/T obviously this is not the case.

He's not being bullied.

Instead of "I'm going to wait and see what options there are but in the meantime focus on my football"

He decided to shit on the coach and club. This is 100% a situation of his own making and a minority of people are trying to sympathise with him because he's discovering actions have consequences.

1: What has Galvin said (with quotation marks) about his coach publicly.

2: For team mates to post such stuff on social media, (especially when they made similar decisions in the last 12 months themselves) Shows a level of hypocrisy. Why didn't they afford the same respect to a 19 year old teenager, that they received themselves.

3; We live in a free country. Galvin obviously doesn't want to stay at W/T. That is his families, he and his managers decision. Last time I looked this happens all the time.

4: No work place in the land would allow this type of bullying to happen without action being taken. I hope Galvin and his people do just that.

It's bullying.

You don't need to drive a team first mentality via your Instagram stories. It's just silly stuff.

He ain't the Moses of biblical times that's for sure.

 

[age.s]

Just going to put it here again. I don't think the Tigers are anywhere near squeaky clean in all of this.

I think Richo has played a blinder with his hand here. It might cost him his young gun 5/8 but he's come out of it looking like a strong, decisive administrator which is the most important thing right?

That's just luai doing luai things. It was already public and the disrespect started with Galvin's side.

Galvin in his own public statement said he was leaving for the sake of his development which supports the reports of him putting shit on benji. You are just wrong here.

Last time I looked Galvin is allowed to go elsewhere if he wants to.

Still no direct quotes from either Galvin or his family rubbishing Marshall. The way the club has rubbished him.

Tito and Luai should be ashamed of their behaviour in the last 48 hours.

I'm done talking about this topic. You're objectively wrong.

Telling someone 'their wrong' isn't a great way to have a sensible discussion about the subject at hand.
Also
What do you mean by the phrase 'objectively wrong'.......

This is a fascinating piece from Luai's social media about 12-18 months ago......

The more aggrieved party here is the Tigers. Galvin and Moses are more guilty.

Luai didn't need to post anything on his socials. And you can argue he wasn't required to lead a team mutiny against Galvin. What have you got a coach and CEO for?
