It's more a case that Lachlan is streets ahead of the rest of our duds just like Benji was back in the day

And whether he was making a break or not you would expect your teammates to be supporting you

It's really that basic isn't it?

Tucker has an issue with Galvin being thrown into first grade as an 18 year old and is holding him to standards as if he were an immortal with 10+ years experience in the NRL.... while those outside him all year with the experience probably haven't played with a pivot of Galvin's calibre.. it was refreshing see Luke on the weekend in the right position and scoring a cracker of a try.
 
Galvin is better than Benji is as a player and he will become one of the greats.

Benji wasn’t consistent his whole career

One great pass - two terrible passes

One great kick - one run on 5th play in our half

Galvin is already showing more maturity than Benji was

Benji as a kid was good bc he had Scott prince and was dynamite that first year

But galvin will out play him over a whole career - just my thoughts

So to be clear, your opinion is that when the defensive side is backtracking and a pivot takes the ball to the line, it's the pivots responsibility to ensure all his players are aware the defence is on the back foot? Aka they don't have eyes of their own and have to be instructed to get up?

I watched that piece of play to get context as you provided zero.
The play before that, he called for the ball, turned to his outside men and said something and then for some unknown reason, TDS went to the right and gave it to Api for a hit up. This is how they ended up so far behind.
Some other play was then called which no one was ready for and I say that as Sezer and Api both had words with him after he kicked it into touch.
Communication break down.

Nice ragebait mate not falling for it…Galvin will be a good player that’s for sure but benji was a game changer, sure his career was full of ups and downs but there’s no doubt he was a creative master

Maybe u have a fair point but in 2005 no one was better than the bunj. Will Galvin win us a premiership, that’s is the question…

Yeah it couldn’t possibly be the fault of the noob 18 year old.
It’s EVERYONE ELSES FAULT.
Dickhead lol.

No one is saying Galvin is perfect or that it's everyone else's fault all the time.

But when a team has a player of his age (who was playing SG Ball earlier this season), with his raw talent and is genuinely standing out in his first season of the NRL, it's just seems insane to continually point out his flaws without ever giving him credit.

You seem to always have an answer to diminish anything good that someone praises Galvin for.

Can you continue this discussion with me and unpack why this is the case?

It’s not the case. I’ve praised his play on many occasions. I said the other night he had a really good first half and was impressed with not only his play in those tries but also with him continuing to throw those plays at them until they succeeded. I was disappointed with his second half though as he was invisible when we needed to shut them out. Our failure to drive home our advantage afforded them the opportunity to almost steal the win.
Guess which part people focus on?

Thank you for the response.
I've only seen one side of it mate, I'll pay more attention moving forward.
 
Galvin is so young and when he puts on some muscle he will be a real handful. He’s already getting hands free for offloads and he’s a kid.
I tend to agree, Benji was a freak at his best but could be inconsistent. Galvin might not be as flashy but has the potential to be a future NSW and Kangaroos legend. Let’s hope he gets there with the Tigers.
 
I’m wary of Galvin next season( second year syndrome). I rightly identified that was a concern with Bula this year and think it’s proven correct.
I believe it’s real and will happen again, reduced space and more intense tackling on him etc.
It may mean other clubs become less interested which should be positive for us.

No he won't

I can only think of one player that brought a team to the finals and that's Jarryd Hayne with Parra in 2009. (from memory). You still had plenty of good players in that side too.

Even Benji did not carry the tigers to the finals in 2005.

Galvin may be the right guy to play 5/8 for us and get us out of 16/17 into 8/9th. He seems like a good player, but not an Andrew Johns or even the potential of Moses/Brooks/Teddy.

Finals now seem to be teams where the starting 13 are made of a minimum of Good players, many great/excellent players sprinkled between them.

Galvin is good, he is certainly no Andrew Johns or Greg Ingles.

If after more than 20 rounds it's still a suprise to the outside backs that Galvin is going to take the line on and create space, then they aren't using their brains or they aren't at NRL standard.

The job of outside backs is to be there when the halves create space and overlaps.

Could you imagine blaming the likes of Cleary, Johns and Langer for creating space for the outside backs? Time to swallow your Galvin pill mate and start seeing him for the talent he is.

There's obviously little structure and no control, no one calling the shots... It's clear at times during games he plays it by ear and doesn't know what he's doing until he does it... How do his backs know what's going on?

Agree… but that was 1 yr… and he debuted in 2003.

Anyway my point is consistency over a long period.

Benji 2005 was amazing!!! Better than galvin for sure… but I believe over a 10 year career galvin will win more accolades and be more consistent than Benji

Just my opinion
