OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[tiger_one]

I think he gets his hands on the ball too much …he did some good things last night though …just trying a bit too hard to make something happen,,

I want JL to be the main guy next game ….

I think that's just the position of the game; Romey was out and he was the team-manager for the night.

it’s not just my thoughts from last night .., been much of the season …

Looking at Souths, let's not forget we still have Bud Sullivan on contract for 2 years from next year.

If he actually plays good there under Bennett, it'll be interesting. Either way, we will have his money to spend next year

Yeah, on him unless anything changes.

Is this guy human? Weight via talent, wisdom, experience and age?

No idea...probably some BS made up stat like receipts for supercoach or something

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Wtf does that stat mean. Like really.!

An example the player breaks the defence, then nears to the final end before deciding whether to pass or kick. I hadn’t seen this stat before, thought it was interesting !

I’ve seen it many times. Did you know under Madge the Tigers led the category with old mate Luke Brooks being a leading contributor.

Is this your interpretation or did you find the definition from somewhere?

Need to remove official from the thread title.

Just want to put this out there re: Gould's comments about what the tigers should or shouldn't be offering Galvin.

He has created (in the public eye) a catch-22 for the tigers. He's a sneaky bugger who knows all the tricks is old Gus.

He says publicly "They can't put that pressure on the kid".

So then what? You're trying to influence the tigers to offer less than other clubs will. Other clubs like... Hmmm, I don't know... Canterbury?

Straight from the uncle Nick playbook you offer him $850-900 per season, with a house, car, career after league, all sight unseen....

Sounds like a manipulative ploy to get the tigers to low ball themselves out of the equation to me.

Thankfully though, we are no longer run by the clueless leadership of the past and I feel Richo is a bona fidé sparring partner for slimy Gus who knows all the tricks himself.

I'm more than happy to trust his judgement on this by offering what he knows is fair, and if we have another Stef situation, then so be it.

I've said it before - I think Richardson is close to the best appointment or signing the club has ever had.

Gould did the same thing with Stefano. Probably would have worked if it wasn't for Melbourne.

He proposed to a line 48 times?!

These days with our incompetent media it probably means how many times the players girlfriend/wife rings them up and the line is busy.The media is a joke.

That is my understanding to it

I don't think they'll get the joke either....

How about the confidence, kicking on the 1st tackle to set up LL! Heart was in my mouth lol

Sounds like a line break to me but as with everything we gotta keep changing things just for the hell.of it

I think he means breaking the defensive line with ball in hand not by crashing into the line. As in take a defender away from his assignment the line has been ‘engaged’
That’s my take.

I think is is much more suble than that. We ofter hear the phrase they need to dig deep into the line before whatever - what they mean is engage the line. The NRL definition is pretty poor:

Line Engaged – Player has engaged the defensive line or run to a dead end before passing or kicking

How to you measure that? I thing the line is “engaged” when the ball carrier runs close enough to the defensive line that defenders are forced to make a decision; that be commit to stopping them either by setting their feet, changing their line, or initiating a tackle.

If they kick or get the ball away before they are belted they have engaged the line and in doing so created an opportunity. I think creating an opportunity is the key!
