The others are only a year longer.Keeping Galvin happy is the key. Off contract after the '26 season; others locked in long term.

Sounds like his transition is harder than anticipatedAlaimalo out of favour now?
The recent game I saw him play on Fox, he lacked aggression and enthusiasm. He was dominated by blokes half his size. There might be something there but its a long way off or I just can't see it.Sounds like his transition is harder than anticipated
Yes agreed but will that keep him interested knowing API is around for a few more yearsI think 60-80 minutes in Flegg or NSW cup is best for him at the moment. Whoever plays 14 is likely in for for 15-20 minutes in NRL and probably not great for development. I think he'll be needed during the origin period, no need for him to play NRL until then unless something happens to Api IMO.
Similar story for Latu IMO, needs to play minutes.
Nothing to do with a transition, all he has to do is use his size to advantage by running hard and tackling hard.Sounds like his transition is harder than anticipated
Alaimalo out of favour now?
I’m not giving up on him yet but he’s further off than I thought. Don’t know where his confidence is. Needs to score a few tries I think.Alaimalo out of favour now?
22yo, rangy with a bit of pace, and from the limited amount I have seen of him he just looks up for it. Looked good in the trials and scored a hattrick against the Magpies in KOE.
Could just be good against average opposition, but he is also stuck behind some very good centres at Canberra. He's worth a try, seems too good for reserve grade.
He could be great. Looks built for footy. Where is he?A bit to work on. My bro Jimmy Ngutlik gone MIA
lol he was touted by some as being the next gun centre....Alaimalo out of favour now?
29 this year and never properly cracked the top grade in his old code. I don't know why people thought he'd come over, pick up league and have an easier time of it.lol he was touted by some as being the next gun centre....
Dude he played super rugby for the chiefs and got player of the year.29 this year and never properly cracked the top grade in his old code. I don't know why people thought he'd come over, pick up league and have an easier time of it.
The forgotten man at the moment is TDS, he is going to need some bench time to keep him interested. So how they manage Latu,Bud and TDS is not going to be easy.
He's significantly better than Tupou or O'Reilly were in their first couple of NSW Cup games, but still a long way off.I’m not giving up on him yet but he’s further off than I thought. Don’t know where his confidence is. Needs to score a few tries I think.
Maybe it is, but is that improving any time soon?Maybe that's because of the quality of the men inside him?
He was on the sideline supporting the NSW Cup boys against Canberra a fortnight ago, so either can't make the Cup team atm with Lobb & Alaimalo holding the wings or in final stages of conditioning for a return after ACL 13 months ago.He could be great. Looks built for footy. Where is he?
Ive mentioned before that a mate from work is best mates with tallyns dad, from what he has told me is tallyn has no interest in going anywhere absolutely loves the tigers always has so that could be the biggest key to keeping him long term. He's happy to learn his craft and get game time when he can. That and the fact he's learning of 2 of the best hookers to lace up a boot is definitely in our favourThe forgotten man at the moment is TDS, he is going to need some bench time to keep him interested.

While I don’t doubt that is true, all of that could change if rival clubs start throwing big money around.Ive mentioned before that a mate from work is best mates with tallyns dad, from what he has told me is tallyn has no interest in going anywhere absolutely loves the tigers

I agree about Lomax but not at any, inflated price -> IMHO, anything above $400k for him is too much for what he offers as a centre.If we somehow start 2025 with the following backline then I think we will be in for a fun year:
1 Bula
2 Staines
3 Lomax
4 Olam
5 Fox
