Very disappointed with a couple of the passes that Galvin tried to pull off today that ended up being costly for us.
Just needs to calm it down a bit.

He’s still a kid and got excitable. We made some dumb plays but we hung tough. That impresses me and I’m sure it will reap dividends down the line.
I think Benjis comment re the ref was quite pertinent. I don’t like whinging about refs but he seemed to give them extra latitude in the ruck, especially slowing down the play the ball, but maybe I’m just a biased old Tiger.
I feel disappointed but not down.
PS, you can now see why JL was more effective at Penrith, the reason I. Yeoh !!!

We need to keep all of them
Galvin , Luai , Latu , they all offer great value .
I’m Gal moves on I am not to worried as Latu with more top grade time gets better , he is running around In Reserves , Galvin has the luxury of first grade now , swap them for 6 weeks you see Latu blossom

Honestly hope latu gets a chance to be our five eight but I known he wont Unfortunately he is a much better fit with luai then galvin and I think he will end up being the better player of the two

My mix would be Latu 6, Galvin 7 and JL 13.
JL at a restructured club favour deal,all 3 getting the same in 3 years - if they wanna share .lol
Sure, until Latu has a bad game, or he entertains offers from other clubs. THEN he doesn't know how to play and we need to get rid of him.
Rinse and repeat.
They are both equally talented and different players. Love to have them both on, and if it means one of them at lock so be it.
But if one leaves, I'm happy with the other.
Keep both or either one.
Kid is impressive.
Haircut is a shocker though.
We need him in the 17, somehow.
Offers too much, not to be.

Do you think mason could fill in on the wing ? Gotta be a better option than Faataape
Yes/no...
Hopefully Skelton is back next week and AD injury isn't too serious...
Thinking we need to get that Taylan May deal done asap.
Can’t agree… he does what he’s told. Latu was great for 5 minutes
Let’s bring Latu out of Galvin’s shadow - he’s a much better fit with Luai ..
I think last week and this week had shown that Galvin is more effective wider of the ruck. I like Latu as first receiver as he plays much more direct than Lachie - which provides Lachie the space to do his thing (also think Luai is better wider as well).
We should figure out a way to include both in the team.

I feel like I've read a lot of these "get Latu in the team' comments before...centre, move Galvin...only to see them shouted down...
Way too hard on Faataape, what with 2 minutes to go in the wet he doesn’t dive or pick up the ball?? It had a shocking bounce, he was waiting for it to pop up, but it didn’t.
Yet he scored a crucial try defused several of theirs plus some very hard bombs!! It was a Hail Mary play at best!
I don’t get u lot sometimes, just got to hate someone.
