Galvin Rd 2. Latu later.

The kid is ready.

I wouldn’t just yet.
He did look comfortable but he missed some opportunities to create through speed, which will come with experience.
Sullivan looked more likely to create scoring opportunities and despite his deficiencies in defence I think he’ll get first crack.

I'm not so sure he's ready for week to week 80 minutes if NRL is that what you mean?
I'd say that would be rushing him extremely.
He's had 40.mins of a trial match.
I'd say that's asking a bit much.of him

Normally I would agree with you and Tucker too but
We can't afford to lose the 1st 4 games on the trot
and bring him in to a team low on confidence. We
have a tough schedule in the 1st month with the
Raiders, sharks, Eels & then dolphins. Throwing him
in 0/4 or shortly thereafter is disastrous. I'm still
a bit conflicted on this one but if he's ready he's ready.
Putting him at 14 is the wisest choice. Bud showed
a bit of spite, particularly in his 2nd stint, noticeably
how he took Flanagan Jr on. Deserves another shot

I don't think there is a need to rush Galvin. Might make sense to start with Sullivan.

The key thing the coaching staff need to figure out this year is how he fits with Luai and Fainu next year. Have to find a way fit those 3 in the starting side next year.
 
Can’t believe what I’m reading.

Bud our new recruit 7 should be dropped because of a performance in a trial, for a kid who hasn’t even played a game of NSW Cup?

As a 7 coming into a whole new team it’s hard to adjust and takes time to settle in. Let the kid have a couple of games in NRL and time to adapt to the squad before making a judgement call. Especially a player like Bud who plays off confidence, dropping him after a trial would do a lot more damage than good.

I’m all for Galvin - I think he’ll be a star and didn’t look out of place in the trial whatsoever which is impressive. However, it’s a trial the intensity is significantly different and it’s also important to take into account he hasn’t even played a single minute of NSW Cup yet.

Give Galvin 1-2 months in cup and give Bud 1-2 months in the FG squad. Then we can assess from that point and see what’s best for the team moving forward.

If this is our reaction to a trial I think I know who the new Brooks may be….

Do you think a spot on the bench as a utility might be an option.
Prehaps we’ll start with Kepoa in that slot but Galvin offers a far deeper set of skill.

If it was up to me - round 2 should be and quite frankly needs to be:

6. Sullivan
7. Seizer

14. Latu Fainu (if he isn’t eligible til Rd 3 then Simpkin based off the trials deserves a crack)

People hyping about Galvin I’m definitely with you he’s a supreme talent and I’m not saying he shouldn’t have a spot - if anything I actually hope by the end of the year he’s a regular first grader.

However, I also think Latu Fainu is the better player….. people will be shocked how good he is I reckon.

Kepoa I don’t think deserves a spot at all…..

If Fainu is better than Galvin, they should both be in the team.

Whilst I agree - the million dollar question is where?

Especially with Luai coming next year, interesting times ahead to say the least....
