If Galvin is in the team straight away (unless we have absolutely no choice) we’re screwed. Even if he’s training the house down, he’s never played against men before only boys at best. Kid needs to play Cup for a bit before getting the call up. However back on Miller, I don’t see him in the squad straight away, but given he’s top 30 at some point during the training session he’s gonna be training with the other top 30 as well even if it is just for an hour or so. All the top 30 train together especially during the pre season. It’ll break down as the season moves on and he’ll most likely be training a lot with the Flegg and Cup squads, but there will be times he’ll be training with the 30. The picture I mentioned is proof of that.

JFC it would not mean we are screwed!! It would mean that at training the “trainers” have noted that athletically and skill wise Galvin is up to it and maybe will get a trial to see if he ca no handle it under match conditions.. some prodigy’s just have it , and will make it wherever you throw them. Some kids are just born to play league and Galvin may just be one of them . We look like we may find out soon

For me Galvin should be spending time in reserve grade before getting that call up. Hasn’t even played Flegg and hasn’t gone up against men yet. He’s got potential and I think he’ll make first grade at some stage. But playing him round 1 (well round 2 in our case) is a gamble that shouldn’t be happening yet.

I hope he doesn't play NRL in 2024 - because those sort of debuts normally occur when the team is struggling or out of options due to injury/rep selection (like TDS).

Or we blood them in the last rounds when out of contention for the 8...

It is a nice gesture to up and comers - but reflects where the club sits and is not the ideal environment to debut!

Really ?? Mal Meninga , mark Mcgaw, Et , Daley , Chris Mortimer , Florine, Chris Jon’s , Michael O’Connor , Hancock , Fittler tery hill , Kevin iro , etc etc all seemed pretty good players to me at the time !! 😅😂🤣😁

Very good players who had day jobs and didn’t train 9 to 5.

Remember Galvin couldn’t even make the Harold matthews side in the halves. You guys want to start him there this year, good luck!

Who said the halves ?? Talk is he may get a run in the centres or even on the wing .. plenty of super talented kids that ended up having 10 year plus NRL careers debuted on the wing just to get a run

One thing I will say is while TDS probably wouldn’t have gotten his debut had Api not gone down with injury, he didn’t do too bad when he made his debut. Not perfect and obviously has things to work on, but he wasn’t crap either and actually did look threatening at times. Although this year I think he’ll spend at least 95% of the season in Cup unless we get hit again with injuries.

I’m hoping this year as well we don’t give debuts unless the player has earned it. Feledy and Kit I wouldn’t have named in our last game last season if I was the coach. Clearly weren’t ready although I think Kit will be ready at some stage, but whether that’s this year idk. Feledy needs at least the whole season in Cup if possible. Not writing him off he’s very young, but he’s not ready.

Given any deal would be for 2025 - you are literally claiming Tyrone May is BETTER than:

Luai
Fainu
Sullivan
Galvin

He is a crap player and a worse person!!

Ivan Cleary is a big fan of Tyrone May. Let Penrith have him please. I'm not taking Terrell and Taylan if it means Tyrone has to come. He is trouble on and off the field

Have you ran this past Benji? 😅😂😅🤣 just kidding mate.. who knows what will happen, personally I’d like to see him or Latu get run in the centres especially if Bud can fire in the halves with Sezer .. I just want to see the best 17 consistently picked .. the best footballers

Tyrone May almost lost the 2021 grand final for penrith when he dropped the ball when he came on. In 2020 GF he conceded 2 crucial tries on his edge

Latu and Sullivan I think will be battling it out for a spot in the halves. Sezer I think will have one given he’s experienced compared to the rest of our halves. It’ll be interesting to see our first lineup when the time comes.

Ur entitled to ur say , I still think they are better than what we got , and lay of the sex affender thing , if the nrl register them , then we may as well get them rather than another team

The sex offender thing is a big issue. Even if he was a good player, he's a culture problem we don't need after a rebuild. Dragons can take all the troublemakers, that's their culture. We got rid of Musgrove and from memory I don't think anyone on our team is a dickhead off the field. When Tyrone May's sex tape scandal was revealed in early 2019, penrith were 16th after 10 rounds. It has a massive impact on a team that was full of young stars at that stage as well as experienced guys like Maloney. Let's not take a step back

I think Sezer might surprise a few people , he has always been a solid first grade footballer and might just be perfect for what this young team needs this year.. a bit like James Maloney at the Panthers
 
Don't think we should be rushing Galvin this year. Maybe give him a game or 2 if the halves are injured but that's it. Halves should be Sezer and Fainu/Sullivan this season so we get some good combos and Sezer is a bit similar to Luai in style. Galvin can also prepare to play other positions so he's not waiting too long. If he wants to play 7 and Sullivan and Fainu are good this year, I guess he'll just go and there's not much we can do about that
