Nothing has changed since round 1 despite fans saying he had a delayed preseason. He is probably the only half in the NRL who has no try assists across 4 games. Maybe Chad Townsend the only other, but his team's been struggling
Galvin imo needs the ball in his hands, he is the energiser bunny, but he just needs to learn to control himself a bit and pick his moments better cause many times he stifles our attack and it breaks down, though he's only a pup and will learn, develop and get better, it's having an impact on Luais game as the combination is still gelling.
What's he done so far?
That’s a good question but man let’s just sit on it for a bit first eh? He’s a 4x premiership half winner for a reason. Everyone takes time to adapt
He's been next to nathan cleary in 4 of those premierships, and a stacked side too. He has not proven himself
Try assist is a skewed stat .. if you look at it realistically he’s had a hand in about 4-5 tries I’d say. Just not the last pass
yeah I think you might be on your own here 👀
Saved at least 4 certain tries defensively, led the line speed and kick chase, kicked well and setup the plays from the inside. He’s been solid. Has he lived up to a 1.2m price tag? Only coaches can gauge impact on the squad internally. The key here is he has the ability to take over as proven without Cleary at Penrith. More of Luai and less Galvin needs to be a feature moving forward.
Cause all you do is talk shit. You do nothing but bag most of the players amd talk up players that left. Hows Bateman going . You spent the year telling the story that Galvin is over rated you even had Brown from the Eels as a much better player. Like the rubbish you talk abt Mak and how we shouldnt play him this year , yet you carry on that Suali was a superstar at the same age. Wasnt Suali worth more than Galvin. You carry on like a keyboard expert that knows better than everyone as i have told you many times thats why you get bashed from pillar to post. Then sending someone that there a pedo because they dont see things the way you do show just how much of a little man ypu are.
Well said !! Agree with this.
The problem with Galvin always wanting the ball is he is no threat as a runner. So when he has the ball he is very reliant on his players to run into holes. But it’s hard for these players to do so because a lot of the time Galvin doesn’t even know where he is going, he just goes back and forth.
I think your last sentence is spot on. We are rushing to re-sign Galvin without properly evaluating Latu as an individual or in combo with Luai. Latu’s hamstring injury at the start of last year which opened the door for Galvin will end up being a fork in the road for the club as we will lose one of Galvin and Latu after this season (or possibly next). Whether we took the right path, only time will tell.
Yes I accept this is correct. We only see 80 minutes 24 times a year. But it is the most important 80 minutes!
You forgot that he brings the boombox.
Always an excuse
Is what I said not true? You could name 5 penrith players at least who are more important to their dynasty. Ivan was happy to let him go
His kicks haven't been great. He let in two tries recently vs warriors one being the crucial match deciding one and one against niukore. The week before he let nikorima outmuscle him. He ran for 11 metres. 11 metres on the weekend. That is luke brooks in a tigers jersey numbers. At least luke would set up a try and not be a complete liability and passenger
I would utilise that bunny's energy by having him following up the middle on every tackle other than a wide shift, and even use him as a decoy when using a middle as the distributor for some of the shifts.
well said Modman
