Rugby league legend Mark Geyer has taken a crack at Wests Tigers rookies and player managers after Lachlan Galvin was linked to a release from the club.

“There seems to be a common trend that players of lower placed clubs just decide to leave when they’ve lost a series of games,” Geyer said on Triple M.

“No kid these days seems to have that intestinal fortitude when they’ve been beaten three or four times.

“They want to agitate for a release straight away instead of knuckling down and biting on the mouthguard, and saying, ‘Let’s get ourselves out of this.’

“They want to go to brighter pastures.

“They’re only one win away from getting their season back on track.

“[Wests] Tigers fans, stick with them.”
