We take a look at the Galvin situation and ask, Is Benji working hard enough to turn this around? https://weststigerspodcast.com.au/wests-tigers-podcast-0334/

Just started listening to the pod & want to thank Garry for clarifying the Galvin situation. I hadn’t heard the Chammas interview with Richo so didn’t really know what negotiations were ongoing, just assumed this news was in regards to other issues. This definitely sounds like the manager wanting the upgrade without extending, knowing in a years time the Roosters, amongst others, would be cashed up to have a lash at Lachie. Good to hear Richo’s side of what’s going on. One more point, was good to see Lachie out there yesterday signing autographs etc.
In regards to Matamua, I asked him yesterday about his knee and the brace and he said it was just precautionary and he should be ok in a few days. Maybe he was being overly optimistic I don’t know but that’s what he told me.
I was a little surprised when I spoke with Justin Olam and he told me his knee wasn’t 100%. Seems to me it’s an ongoing issue with him & perhaps he’d be rested a week or two or three if things were different right now.

great pod boys!!! Agreed with everything Joel said about Galvin..roll up your sleeves and stop sooking!! Just letting you know that Justin came back on in 2nd half and played roughly the last 20 minutes and we looked ok with him ball playing
Actually on Galvin’s side here…however with our injuries he’s had to play. Having said that he was poor the other night. And will benefit from a break for a couple of weeks and hopefully gets things sorted with the club, one way or the other.great pod boys!!!

Who were the other players rumoured to want out that Garry alluded to? Apart from Stef and Galvin?
To me he looked off his game for a few weeks now, especially in areas where he needs to use his hands to deftly position the ball, dummy passes, show and go and kicking, to his credit his defence has not really suffered although you could imagine his grip strength would be diminished with a fracture.Actually on Galvin’s side here…however with our injuries he’s had to play.

Understandable Lachie has been a little off given he would’ve played all SG Ball last season including their pre season plus Westfield High’s season plus rep High School rep footy then straight into pre season with little break then playing NRL for a young man who hasn’t fully physically matured. Quite extraordinary what he has achieved really. A short break should help a bit especially with this contract talk in the background.To me he looked off his game for a few weeks now, especially in areas where he needs to use his hands to deftly position the ball, dummy passes, show and go and kicking, to his credit his defence has not really suffered although you could imagine his grip strength would be diminished with a fracture.Actually on Galvin’s side here…however with our injuries he’s had to play.

I agree with Joel. You lie down with dogs you get fleas. The fact that Galvin is signing up for all the most disgusting tactics of Moses tells you all you need to know about his character. By all means hold him to his contract but I want to see what Fainu has to offer. An 18yr old man thinks he is bigger than the club, he is mistaken.

He is 18, he probably didn't even make the decision on who is manager is.

He’s the boss, not the manager or his parents. If he can’t see the dishonour we may be flogging a dead horse.

all this talk by some at the start if the year Galvin could play 13 or centre, his parents see him as a 6 and only a 6, whether that be here or another club.
I think we have lost Galvin regardless of what richo says in media holding him to a contract, likely scenario he announces November next year he is off.
we do have latu fainu who will likely want to stay and play with his brothers, and combined with Luai it could be a good partnership

He is 18 and likely following the advice of those around him. I'm not ready to rip into for it at this point.
