I don’t care about Galvins growth anymore. I do care about ours though and so we need to focus on what the best strategy is to achieve that objective now.

You could add Tino F to that list

Yes I keep on saying it the need for another big middle and two 2RF's for top 17 and depth is needed still.
With all the movement that could be about to happen targets could arise from Knights/Manly would be my prediction.

I think the point he was trying to make is a couple of key injuries in the forwards and we look weak.
Surely you agree we need more depth, you seem like a smart guy.

I’m happy to share post-game thoughts, but whether we win or lose, it has no bearing on your original claim — that he's "without doubt" a top 17 player. That’s an isolated and absolute statement.

I thought PTB speed was a usable stat when I pulled together the controlling the ruck deep dive. What I found was that 50% of the teams that won had the slower PTB speed. when I dived into it a little deeper I found that it really doesn' stack up as a stat worth worrying too much about.
I understand where you are coming from with this; however, Melbourne have one of the slowest PTB speeds. What they get away with in playing off the mark is forcing the oppositon onto the back foot just as the play the ball occurs - more in your face cheating that simply doesn't get pulled up. They aren't the only ones though - when was the last time you saw Herbie play the all on the mark? He hardly ever gets called back to the mark.
What I think this achieves is having the refereee and the opposition line moving back at the moment the ball is played which affects the opposiotn line speed which creates time and space for their playmakers. I think if there was a crack down on playing the ball on the mark it would have a significant effect on the Storm and Dolphins.
For info , here is where the clubs sit at the moment in respect to PTB speed. It clearly shows that it is not a stat worth spending too much time on.
Sorry can't get the data to post.

It’s okay to admit you said something stupid, little buddy. You don’t need to deflect and double down on it to all but confirm you’re just another moron who has the critical thinking skills of a toddler.
But you do you, kiddo

Yeah, I’ve noticed the off the mark stuff too which annoys me. We need to do it too if they’re not going to police it.
An easy one to pull up is the crowding however subtle, because it’s a rule that it’s not allowed and teams should be getting more six agains . I hope our coaches point it out ahead of our game against the Storm.
Mate 100%. At 19 I was starting my second apprenticeship, working 7 day weeks (weekends were unpaid to get experience). Helping pay off mum and dads place, volunteering and starting a buisness i eventually spent the next 20 yrs working on.
This isn't a wowwee look at me post. This is a only being 19 excuse is pitiful.
I'd be livid if I was his dad and followed his managers advice. Galvin has been shown to be closer to 9 then being a young man.
Whats the injury

The Mrs calls me that when I’m a smart ass, which is regularly, and for about 20years or so. It is my online poker handle.
I was a big fan of Bugsy as a kid.
If I have remembered the wrecking ball thing incorrectly then i sincerely apologise. I may be a smartass but I can be corrected.

BWP time to start playing fair! At the end of the day we all hope that Wests Tigers continue to win footy games and the club put the Wooden Spoons way way in the past.

Solid deflection. I’m sure you’ll understand one day, little guy 👍

I love Latu, but if we could get Reynolds for 2 years with Latu learning from 2 great halves that would be magic and our team would be incredible. Reynolds will spend time on the sidelines with injury and Luai may make origin so Latu will get his fair crack without putting the weight of the world on his shoulders too early.
I've heard worse ideas.

Please God no.
Reynolds is cooked. Latu has good foil there with Luai and the brothers.
Dont impede the Fainus.
As much as I have come around to Twal and Seyfarth, we need two back rowers.
