Mark Geyer criticises Wests Tigers players Lachlan Galvin and Stefano Utoikamanu for demanding an early escape from the troubled club.
Mark Geyer blasts young players who want to leave the Tigers early.
Says players need more dedication to their clubs while they are losing.
Lachlan Galvin and Stefano Utoikamanu seek early releases.
Mark Geyer has called out young players who want to quit their teams after a few losses, following claims that Wests Tigers stars Lachlan Galvin and Stefano Utoikamanu want to be released early.
The Tigers’ dismal defeat to the Dragons on Friday night was their ninth straight loss, leaving them at the bottom of the league and on pace for another wooden spoon.
Galvin, 18, reportedly told teammates he ‘can’t wait to get out’ of the club and was upset about being forced to play with a fractured hand.
To make matters worse for the Tigers, gifted prop Stefano Utoikamanu is said to want out of Concord.
Speaking on Triple M’s Mick and MG in the Morning, Geyer criticised the Tigers’ young players for lacking ‘intestinal fortitude’.
‘It appears to be a typical tendency that players from lower-placed clubs just opt to quit after losing a run of games,’ said Geyer.
‘No kid these days appears to have the intestinal fortitude after being pummelling three or four times.
