I work with a bloke who knows the Galvins and he told me something that was talked about weeks ago
So apparently there is more to this and it’ll come out over the next few weeks or so that Luai and co from the moment they walked into tigers completely shut off Galvin and there’s a clique of islander boys (started before Luai and Turuva joined actually) who were pushing for Fainu to start and have also made others feel not apart of the team. Bateman and Klemmer also didn’t get along with them. And this is why tigers come out first to look like the better party.
Sit back and relax people this could get juicy. Kids don’t walk away from $5 million contracts for nothing

Interesting, gotta see what comes out from both sides lol
 
This whole situation is the definition of a toxic environment When teammates go from support system to public bullies the second someone makes a career decision they don’t like? That’s not team culture that’s a power play. It reeks of insecurity and ego. The kind of “bros club” energy where if you don’t fall in line, they’ll try to humiliate you into submission

And for Benji to reward that behaviour by dropping Galvin a kid who’s played his guts out in a broken team is the biggest red flag of all. He’s not leading, he’s folding to pressure from his favourites and trying to save face by scapegoating the one guy who actually has a spine.

Tigers are fucked lol.

Luai and co are hypocrites for calling Galvin out. If it was always team first then why leave the Panthers and why always have an out ?

They are sitting in 7th and will probably beat Parra which will put them firmly in the 8. Not exactly fucked. They are on the rise that is why Benji had to put the buffoons in their place.
 
I think there’s more going on. Players have asked for releases before doesn’t impact the playing group. I think what’s telling is that Benji let the kid speak to the playing group and they all just cut him off. Think the playing group just never liked him to begin with.

also the fact they went straight onto Instagram to feed him to the wolves.

It’s very simple. Tigers current management and coach have had enough of the years of failure and are looking to stamp their authority to bring success.
 
The amount and type of social media hate the kid is getting on his Instagram is odd lmao, poor kid should've made his account private or turned off comments before doing his own announcement

As for or people going on about why did Luai the panthers if it wasn't about money and etc; the man won 4x straight premierships for the one club even being busted in one of the grand finals, he was influential on that team and people cannot say he wasn't, played well and kept Penrith stable with wins when Cleary was out injured, had an awesome state of origin series which he helped clinch the series with an outstanding game 3 performance, played well for Samoa and look how they went...

For me he has done more than enough to leave the Panthers on good terms to chase more money and try his thing at a new club lol

People can't seem to get past the hate on Luai to see he is legit elite player while Galvin is not and lets be honest he probably won't come anyway near Luais footy resume in terms of achievements and accolades in his career lol
 
RLPA will get involved. And tigers will go into damage control.
Like it or not it could be classed as cyber-bullying. Galvin did nothing wrong.
Turuva went way too far.
Tigpies win a few games and all of the sudden they think they can do whatever they want lol

Galvin is not leaving because of money. If it were a money thing, he'd staying, because Tigers were willing to offer him a massive contract and also upgrade his current contract. He's had issues with the club over a long period of time, it just wasn't a big deal previously because the media wasn't riling everyone up.

I bet you money is involved majorly especially now that old made Isaac is pulling the strings, everything that **** does is about money when his hands are involved bro...

The Tigers offer was very good especially for a very hyped up kid on the up, but there was probably bigger offers given to his management during the off season or lately with the halves shortages fiascos

Lets just say if he ends up at some certain clubs who offered more with coaching being way more questionable than the Tigers (Eels cough cough) then it should prove that point

Him having issues reportedly dates back before he even debuted. I don't think it's much of a stretch to suggest there's several reasons why a player would want to leave a basket case club.

The only reason people are questioning him now, is because Tigers have looked a little better this year, but the thing is, that doesn't mean everything behind the scenes is better, they just got lucky with quality players on the market who were not pursued harder by better clubs.

Honestly the way players are dictating to the coach there, and the way team mates are piling it on in public, I don't think it's hard to imagine that it's not the best environment at Wests.

Luai wasnt dropped at Penrith was he?

Yeah because he didn’t say hey the coach is shit and this club isn’t going to give me my best shot at developing into a world class player.

Luai also had given the panthers 4 titles huge difference between these two players. Galvin has been lucky to give the tigers 4 wins let alone 4 titles !

Do you think he could be compounding the issues with his attitude/ego now especially with Isaac getting involved now? It has been quoted him saying "I can't wait to leave this club" or similar and some reports of him confronting the coaching staff and player group with topics they don't agree with that turned them off

What would he have done to turn the playing group against him so quick though?

I guess we will need to see his side of the story when a journalist of Isaacs approval interviews him for more info lol

When he said he "can't wait to leave", the Tigers were getting pumped every week, so I'm sure it wasn't a big deal to those who were there when he said it, I'm sure some of them would have been thinking what it would be like to play for a better club.

You don't have to do much when you're in the company of inflated egos. We already know Luai can be a troublemaker. The fact they wouldn't listen to him is just immature. He wants to develop elsewhere.. that doesn't straight out mean he doesn't rate Benji.. He's had the issues that stem back to pre-Benji.
