OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

It’s been said by the coach and on here that he just wants the ball all the time. Enthusiasm of youth.

He’ll learn pretty quickly when it’s not on in FG and that enthusiasm and love of the game will be the reason that big money will come his way.

The best passer of the ball we’ve had since coach was in his prime. Gives his centres space.

His cutout pass to To'a to set up the Turuva try was great. Read the defence and acted accordingly.

The slight double pump showed his instincts beautifully. He’s reading how defenders react to him. It’s that sort of ability that earns the moola.

Edit: Luai did similar with his ball playing on the first try. Genuine ball players creating points. Pretty to watch.

Galvin looked great again, but he is still developing. He has alot of up side. We cannot let him go give him 500k per Y for 5 years. That's enough to keep him and still have money to upgrade De Silva and co.
Does Latu have an injury as l rarely see him running?

I think it showed that he is more effective playing a little wider of the ruck at the moment. He doesn’t need to touch the ball 5 times a set. Just pick his times to inject himself when he sees an opportunity.

In the To’a/Turuva movement, it was actually Api who played the pivot role and got the defence to slow down which provided Lachie the necessary space to do his thing.
 
Luia showed his class with the double pump, having Api back makes a huge difference 3 points of attack is scary for any team to defend. May needs support and Seyfarth worries me everytime he gets the ball. We need another wrecking ball like Hunt. Any news on Shelton's knee?
 
He is very rough still. Some brilliant moments and some momentum killing moments. In thinking about his creativity and instincts, however, he is a pretty rare player. There's not many halves out there that have that ability to play that way, let alone teenagers.

I still think katoa is the best young half in the game, his organisation and defense and kicking game already look very consistent and solid. But Galvin is a different sort of player and potentially as valuable.

He's much looser this year which has both created errors and moments of brilliance. He is already a much better player than Moses or brooks ever were for us and he is probably close to that Tedesco level where the tigers game is starting move around him, with or without luai.

You can also see the way luai creates the space for Galvin, holding up the defensive line with his guile, and they are looking like a surprisingly good combination, even though they do still have moments of getting in each others way or pulling in opposite directions.

You can also see that the tigers would still be threatening with only luai, where I'm not confident Galvin could carry the team on his own. In other words, I think luai makes Galvin better and is allowing him to do his random stuff.
Katoa indeed look dangerous last night. He and Nikorima carved us a new one a couple of times.
