News BREAKING: Lachlan Galvin drops bombshell as young gun rejects Tigers $5m offer

If Tigers were so bad for his development why did Galvin sign with them in the first place? Sounds like a load of nonsense from his manager.

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

Luai going to the Tigers from the Panthers isnt the callout... its the fact he made sure there wsa a get out clause in his contract, while at the same time preaching about "team first". Hypocritical POS..... the guy is a mutt.

Good luck with that one, they haven't done anything wrong in the posts, all they have stated is Team First, that's it. Oh the horror players want to have team unity as the forefront, it's what Penrith was known for the last 4 plus years. It's what a lot of teams practice, if you follow AFL a little bit it's what the Lions sent around early last year, look how that turned out too.

End of the day a stand had to be made.

I thought he was in current 4 year deal sign after they won the Matts comp
 
Lots of people saying Galvin’s in the wrong, he’s got no loyalty. After what certain teammates have been posting online, no wonder he doesn’t want to play with em. I’ll note too, his comments after the flogging last year, saying he can’t wait to get out of the club, whoopie freaking do. Footy can be emotional at times, we all say things in the heat of the moment. I mean even if he meant it, it’s obvious he puts in 100% every single time he plays. THATS what it means, despite outside distractions, team first, and that’s all his teammates, and fans can ask for.

If Dylan Brown did the same thing Galvin did Eel wouldn't of lost Talagi/Sanders, 2 promising young players/halves. In a way he's done them a favour not pulling and dragging them along that he might extend with them. Also on the field he has been giving 100%, there's no one in that team who has been putting in more than Galvin. The only reason anyone should be angry with Galvin is if he actually said Benji was a shit coach (he's mentioned development, and other clubs are definitely better for his development - not Eel if he joins there), and it has to be a quote from him himself.

Why are you comparing a 6 to a 7? They play totally different positions.

Coz the ppl here who want him, want him to replace sexton, not burton. And lets face it, burton will always be 6 and is better than Galvin overall

Well derrrrrrr

he's already asked for releases previously. But in this case, his camp have done nothing wrong.

Even the whole not rating Benji as a coach stuff is being leaked by the tigers and not Galvin's camp

1. Galvin is not a halfback. He's an out & out 6. He isn't going to play halfback at any club that he joins.
2. Galvin over Burton any day. Burton can move to centre if we get Galvin.
 
Gould is concerned about the kids mental health and that's a fair call imo.

BUT I think that in the 1st place being a young bloke, his management needed to think about that. His management would know all about that stuff and the pressures he was gonna cop.

I reckon at this point if a club wants him then let him go and don't deal with his management again. Politis will not deal with Moses and maybe other clubs need to do the same.

He told that club he wasn’t staying on, and no doubt that would have been back of mind when they said it.

What was his other option, lead the club on for the next year while they shed players to keep him only for him to tell them he is bailing?

The only way he was not going to be hammered some stage was if he decided to stay, which he didn’t want to do. He is in a no win situation.

It’s the rules around signing etc that has caused a lot of this. And let’s be real here, every player who signs with another club well in advance, or gives their club notice well in advance always gets accused of trying to get out of their contract, or them being at their current club is now untenable, whether accurate or not.

I would love to hear anyone’s solution here as to how a player can sign a deal with another club well in advance without any drama being raised about it. I’ll wait.
 
Galvin thinking he can’t develop as a player is literally the reason Stefano left for way less money. They’ve got clowns as their leaders and the fact Luai thinks he needs to jump to instagram to state to the world ‘team first’ just speaks volumes

Well League players aren't known for their Einstein like intelligence.

I don't know much about workplace laws but I would imagine they would work differently in an environment like professional sport. They've called him a "bitch" on a public platform for one, that's gotta have some weight to it. And also endorsing comments about smashing him... as these things add up, I'm sure a good lawyer could potentially capitalise.

Oh no a bad word has been said lol, and that word has a million interpretations. They have been more than civil about it.

They are not wrong are they. All it is are players wanting everyone to buy in and there’s nothing wrong with it. Galvin could easily have done that, he hasn’t oh well that’s his call. He can play reserve grade and sook it for a year, there’s a better half coming through anyway
