Tigers CEO sends a HUGE warning over Lachlan Galvin situation | Wide World of Sports

[@byrnesy3618]

Finally someone at the Tigers with some integrity and a backbone.

[@bernyoz]

This bloke is pretty rational when he puts it in perspective . Care for mental health of coach . Not easy running a club

[@Idkidk55957]

Richardson got us out of a hole for south's and he'll do the same for Tigers. Believe in his process

[@MotivatedMan]

Never heard a CEO so down to earth and just says things as they are, I think the future for tigers might be better then it currently looks like

[@floodwaters8887]

1. Bula 6. Galvin 7. Luai 9. Koroisau It's actually a extremely good spine for 2025, could push the 8 if they avoid injuries.

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

Just gotta sign better experienced players

[@Thisdracoundefeated]

Problem is outside the spine they are mid, turuva and olam only decent outside backs, and if they lose stefano their starting middles become Twal and klemmer

[@toolz9764]

​@@Thisdracoundefeatedlike Richardson said tho we'll have 1.8 million free in our cap if that happens and he's already shopping for superleague fowards

[@Sub0x-x40]

tigers just have to stick at it and work hard and there young fellas will get better

[@Nofatchickz44]

You are kidding yourself right ? They have been told that and to be “patient “ the last 13 years it’s ridiculous they really don’t deserve to even be an nrl side

Benji looks like the Kiwi version of madge the way he sits in the dressing room and talks to his players like they are children. Iam sorry, Benji is not the coach to get the Tigers out of this mess.

[@freshmaker0088]

If ya keep doing the same things over and over again and expect a different result well then you’re kidding yourself is indeed a great scientific saying

[@seven0seven0]

anyone that thinks the situation at the tigers is a write off has no understanding of how much they have improved. a driven and intelligent ceo and coach and an abundance of young talent they are trying to keep from more successful nrl clubs (instead of in the past selling them to buy cheaper, older shitter players). the tigers have given up on rebuilds so many times in the last decade and us fans need to give richardson and benji time. they are a million times better than the old board which as a tigers fan and sports fan was possibly the worst run club in history of any sport.

[@pooddly9637]

56-12 score-line is not an improvement

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

@@pooddly9637watch the entire season mate, they’ve played with a lot of ticker

They haven't improved they're last by wins and by points differential. All last year tigers fans kept saying they had improved. Yet they got the spoon again. It is deja vu.

[@seven0seven0]

​@seven0seven0 and yet your season start has been even worse than last year

[@khanager2814]

I’m all for player agency but Galvin is only a sensation now because of the opportunity the Tigers gave him. Sure, maybe a bit of an upgraded contract is warranted but you have to honour your deals. I’m all for players getting more rights in terms of time off, health insurance, etc. but the loyalty has to go both ways and this phase of deals basically meaning nothing because players can do whatever they want is getting a bit old. Multi-year contracts are a gamble for clubs, they tie down their salary cap and will pay you even if you’re out injured for the entire period. Players sign these to guarantee themselves a living. It can’t just be treated as an option for the player. I will say, there may be details I don’t fully understand which changes the outlook on this, I don’t know exactly what to make of him being forced to play with painkilling injections (although that seems to be pretty much expected in first grade across the board and is hardly unusual).

[@Giveme1goodreason]

With his talent he’d have the opportunity everywhere and owes the tigers nothing. They didn’t do him a favour. They saw his talent and locked him down.

[@khanager2814]

@@Giveme1goodreason Are you seriously suggesting contracts shouldn't mean anything if a player turns out to be better than expected or improves more quickly than expected?

[@clutch7548]

@@Giveme1goodreasonNot everyone thinks like that. Many of us understand loyalty to the ones who gave us a chance

[@floodwaters8887]

not to mention his playing in a crap side so the opportunity to shine is there, if he was at a stronger club he'd be in and out of first grade, probably not even playing as of yet.

[@alightthatnevergoesout]

It’s a cut throat job benji has a young family he’s better off doing media until they are older caz the club needs to be priority to everyone involved. Benji has money and people sacrifice time away from their families for money to benifit the family he doesn’t have to

[@chillyfish5676]

They're getting a 3 time premiership winning and encumbent SOO half next year. They have Api and Bulla looks solid at FB. They're also getting one of the best wingers in the comp (who is also a good FB) next year, have a heap of $$ and good juniors coming through. Galvin should give it time. He's had a few good games. He has nearly 20 years of playing ahead of him. He's getting ahead of himself. Remember a young Luke Brooks..

The problem with the tigers is Management. Everything starts at the top. Clean house and put in new Management. Look at the Melbourne Storm and try to replicate what they're doing and have been doing for over 10 years. The Tigers have been a abysmal for over 10 years and counting..l

[@FreddyJong-co6cb]

Get rid of west tigers now hopless😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adriandevere3739]

The fact he said Jerome is a once in a lifetime halfback tells me this guy is off his rockers. Jerome got carried to premierships by Cleary. Hynes copped all the flak for Origin 1 but what did Jerome do ? Nothing. Without Cleary, Jerome will under perform week in week out. Plain and Simple.

[@leomika9411]

Jarome was one of the better players for nsw in origin 1, also had a try assist as well. Luai has also carried Samoa to a World Cup final, definitely can change the team culture at west tigers with a few experienced players following him.

[@nathansolo2605]

The tigers are a joke. They want to keep Galvin but got Luai. The best think for Galvin is to leave this club of losers. Stefano's career is better off and no Richardson, you won't be a rich man no serious player will go to this basket case of a club. They offer nothing to the NRL. As soon as Richardson and Marshall leave then the club can disappear and stop being an embarrassment to the NRL.
