KR. You seem to know your stuff. What do you make of LG?

Had a very good 2023, I’m interested to see how he makes the step up to the top level.

He’s very tall but very lean, and hasn’t played at any level above his own age group so far.

He has a very high ceiling based on his SG Ball and Schoolboy Cup form but he has quite a unique build and is extremely tall for a five-eighth (he has stated that’s the position he sees himself as).

Could be a freak at NRL level, or could be another Doueihi or Curtis Sironen.

I think Latu Fainu is a safer bet at being quality at NRL level (and is ahead of Galvin in terms of their current development) but Galvin’s ceiling is very high if he can manage to handle the physicality and speed of playing against men.

Question KR, is Mansfield in top 30 or has he gone? Thanks in advance.

Mitch Moses always looked too lean early in his career but he got away with it until he filled out. How does Galvin compare to a young Mitch size wise?

Mansfield is gone, released at the same time as Triston Reilly.

Pretty sure the club payed him out of his contract to free up roster spots.

Back when we used to sign unproven guys on multi year deals because we couldn’t fill an NRL roster with genuine first graders. Richo’s first order of business. Fix this.
 
KingRobbie said:
Galvin’s about 85 kg, so bigger than Moses was at the same age.

Galvin just looks very lean/thin because he’s about 6’4”.

Guessing Mitch is about 6’2’

Sounds like a (taller) Trent Barrett clone once he fills out. I’d be happy with that outcome.
 
Lachlan will play first grade now whether that is at West Tigers or Manly we can only hope it is with us. The kid can play yes his defense needs work but he is not the only one, But has the skills to be a success but he needs time to develop physically at NRL level. The other plus for West Tigers he wants to stay and play for us.

But the club needs to stop Ronald Mcdonald from spreading his Manly spiel.
 
Hes top 30. No team can talk to him openely until end of 2025.

These media personalties as well as the NRL needs a slap. Everyone knows they do backdoor deals but the NRL doesnt bat an eyelid to the mangers.

The Mole needs to go bury himself and stay there.
