For a 19 year old with less than 50 games, we have heard a lot about Galvin's contract status the last few years. We were hearing last year when he had only just debuted.
Last year it seemed like a player debuting and the player/manager/family decided his contract status no longer matches where they percieve they are due to now playing first grade. This current sitaution with them saying not to even present the offer comes across as trying to create a situation where they get an early release.
I was watching a few videos about the Galvin situation. I think it was Denan Kemp bringing up how Galvin was upset they brought other halves (Siezer & Sullivan) as he was told he'd be playing first grade. Even with those two in the squad Benji still played Galvin. Obviously there is two halves in a team but the point still remains Galvin was getting plenty of game time.
There was also talk of him being upset that it is now Luai's team. Luai was contracted to move to the Tigers a year out so it wasn't a secred he was coming. He's also coming from a team that had won 4 premierships.
Even the argument about Benji's coaching. He hasn't got a lot to go on seeing as he is only 19. Even one of the clubs he's speculated to go to. The Eels have a rookie coach. Ryles has a lot of experience as an assistant but not as a head coach. A move to the Eels it would be hard to argue it is for development and not money.
He was asking for a release last year. Now they have been competitive, playing some good football, and playing well with Luai.

But what if Galvin gets his new club and pulls the same shit on them? If someone is on the nose to a team wouldn't others be wary even though he's apparently prodigious?
Wouldn't that be a turn around

The money he has earned from rugby league will pay for a lot of theme park tickets.
Can't blame him. Go back to Queensland, live near the beach. A nice life style for the kids to grow up.

So the old adage “the Gold Coast, a sunny place for shady people” is not quite true.
No it is. And its even worse now. But theres no dfif between bris and GC in all honesty. 60mins from South Bris to North GC.
Certainly is true & has been getting worse over the years.
GC is full of conmen
Maybe I am late to the discussion, but it feels like Galvin is being used as a pawn here. He is being unfairly targeted for the nefarious tactics of his manager. Can't imagine the young kid actually thinks that Benji, the greatest attacking half of his generation, wouldn't be a great coach to lead him forward. I'd understand it more if the move being speculated is to Wayne at Souths or Bellamy at Melbourne but Parra? Their rookie coach was a forward in him playing days.
Galvin grew up supporting the Eels, and his initially requests last year were in order to play for them I believe.
If it is a boyhood dream then it is a bit more understandable than the "why the hell would he want to play for the shitty Eels" perspective.
I've always wondered how easy it is for a guy to switch allegiances. You whānau supporting a club is something you feel in your bones.

Imagine a double backflip!
