Ugly Lachlan Galvin situation laid bare as NRL legends voice concerns with Tigers recall
The rugby league world is divided on whether the Wests Tigers should 'take a stand' and keep Lachlan Galvin or let the wantaway break his contract early. Galvin has dominated headlines for over a week after dropping a bombshell in knocking back the Tigers' $5 million contract extension offer. Watch your team in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership. Stream every round LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play, on Kayo Sports. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. The 19-year-old dramatically claimed that Benji Marshall wasn't the coach to take his game to the next level in a statement that was met with fierce blowback. Galvin was axed as his teammates stood behind their coach and mocked the five-eighth on social media, which saw his management send the club a legal letter with accusations of bullying. The NRL 360 panel debated on Tuesday night whether the club's actions constituted bullying and whether they should keep their playmaker who is contracted until the end of next year. 'I'm hearing out of the Tigers today that they're going to dig their heels in,' Braith Anasta said. 'If they've done nothing wrong then they have to see this through. If these claims of bullying… like you have to look at the definition of bullying,' Paul Crawley responded. 'The definition of bullying is repeated, using intimidation tactics to bring someone down and cause them distress. 'What we saw last week, that's not the definition of bullying. These were one-off instances. It's not bullying.' Gorden Tallis echoed the sentiment and called on the entire game to throw their support behind the Tigers. 'Just because you don't like a post, it doesn't mean it's bullying. Just because you don't like someone's actions, doesn't mean it's bullying,' Tallis said. 'I hope that every club and the NRL stand behind the Tigers here because our fans deserve it.' 'But do the fans want him there? There's a lot that don't,' Anasta responded. 'If he goes out and plays really good this week, they will want him there and if he plays no good (they won't),' Tallis said. 'That's the judge, jury and executioner in rugby league - winning,' Crawley said. But Dean Ritchie believes the club should part ways with Galvin. 'He's got a contract and I'm all for contracts, we should all honour contracts, it's one thing we don't do well in rugby league. But, if he doesn't want to be there. If the players don't want him there, he's suing the club for goodness sake,' Ritchie said. 'What is the point of keeping him there?' he said. 'You watch that game on Monday and they could have won,' Anasta said. 'You watch it and see how frustrated the players were and you could see their season falling away on the back of this. Like this is a big drama, it's exhausted a lot of energy. 'We talk about the Tigers and how far they've come and the promise they've shown in 2025 and you just don't want it to crumble and that could happen.' 'Would they be a more harmonious club without all the media scrutiny and headlines if he left the club? The answer is yes,' Ritchie responded. But Tallis hit back: 'This club has been a punching bag for years, they've been at the bottom and if you don't stand for anything, you'll never stand for anything.' It comes as the Eels emerged as favourites to land Galvin for 2027 or sooner should he be granted a release. Parramatta coach Jason Ryles publicly confirmed the club will make a play for the 19-year-old after the Bulldogs ruled themselves out of the race. 'We are not involved in the Lachlan Galvin discussion and we won't be involved in the Lachlan Galvin discussion,' Bulldogs boss Phil Gould told The Sydney Morning Herald. Anasta revealed on Tuesday night why his former club is no longer in the running. 'I said last night the Dogs were interested because I'd heard that they were from very good sources. They were interested,' Anasta said, 'But I hate to say it but the reasons they didn't is because of the situation and the management.' Ritchie then questioned whewther the Bulldogs didn't want to work with Galvin's agent Isaac Moses. 'Read between the lines, Bulldog, that's pretty much what I just said. That's what I heard and that's from good sources within the club.

Kevin Walters in fresh swipe at Broncos after Gorden Tallis' revelation about sacking
Former Broncos coach Kevin Walters has taken a little swipe at the club for their professionalism following his exit after his first major interview since his departure. The Broncos left the NRL world in shock last year when they sacked Walters after the club missed out on the top eight. Walters took the Brisbane Broncos to the NRL grand final in 2023, but failed to stop the free fall in 2024 as the club missed out on finals footy. Despite injuries to Reece Walsh, Adam Reynolds and Payne Haas, the club's hierarchy felt the roster didn't deliver. And in a shock move right after their season ended, Walters was told he was no longer head coach. Michael Maguire was also promptly hired in his place. The move certainly angered the Broncos Old Boys with the likes of Gorden Tallis fuming at how the club had treated a legend. Tallis took aim at his former club and claimed Walters never had the backing needed to succeed. 'I don't think he ever felt like he got the support that he wanted. From day one, he had to go buy his own shirt to do his own press conference. I felt like he was doing it all alone," Tallis said on NRL 360 last year after the news Walters had been sacked. And four months after his exit, Walters has gone into detail about how the situation unfolded. Speaking on his 'Inside Ball' Podcast, Walters felt he needed to front the media the next day after the shock announcement. But in a cheeky move, Walters also recounted Tallis' comment and claimed he lifted the professional standards at the Broncos having been left hung out to dry on his very first day at the headquarters. "I wanted to stand up in front of everyone and let them know that I was leaving," he said on the podcast. "That's why I did it. I did it because I want to own what happened and accept responsibility that I was moving on. When I got into the building (to begin the job), I had to find my own shirt to get into the building and get a photo, compared to where they are now. "We missed the finals last year by two wins which is not a lot. But also we should have done better and I accept that full responsibility. But for it to pan out the way it did, considering when I walked into the building (the Broncos had finished last the previous season), I went to a grand final in 2023 … I'm comfortable with what I did at the Broncos in my time there." Walters was planning for the next season right after the Broncos came 12th with a season review being undertaken by the Broncos hierarchy. And Walters claimed he was with new assistant coaches Ben Te'o and Trent Barrett when he felt something was off. "I accelerated things," Walters said on his podcast. "I rang my manager and said, 'I have got a bad feeling in my stomach that this isn't quite right'. He made a phone call and we went in and they made the decision to finish up with me. I was shocked because we were a long way down the track with 2025 planning." Despite being moved on, Walters has taken up a media job with Fox Sports for the upcoming NRL season. His son Billy is still in the squad and Walters said he only wants the best for the Broncos, a club he won five premiership with during his playing days. "I want to see the Broncos do well," Walters said. "I am comfortable with my contribution to the Broncos. Coaching is my passion. I am going to coach again (in the NRL). I have got a lot of belief in myself."
