People still are mesmerised by the good things Galvin does on the field , so what he’s saying is … Galvin >>>> AD . That’s what he means. Galvin absolutely killed our attack on Sunday . It was driving me crazy . So many times he just need to straighten and feed the ball along and he decided to crab across field and run in between the 2 and 3 man defenders where the centres and edge back rower should be running . It drove me crazy to be honest .
If that’s the rest of 2025 version of Galvin , which I’m guessing he’s been told by his management to play that way to put himself in the shop window.
I’d rather luai on the left with the ball in his hands zipping around , and AD giving early ball to Toa and Bula down the right .
Galvin is the 4th best player in our spine . No matter how good he is .
He’s not better than luai , he’s not better than Bula and he’s definitely not better than Api . And only the biggest homers of all time , can say what I just said isn’t true .
People think because Galvin has the try assists that he’s all the attack , when in reality , the gameplan was setup so whoever had the ball in that situation was to make that play .
Like the Toa try . People saying it was Galvins try assist that put toa in the hole .
He literally just passed Toa the ball . Toa , changed his line and moved in and away while the ball was in flight , and wrecked Best before he caught the ball . Zero of that was Galvin . But because he passed the ball OMG …..
like half the tries we scored in previous weeks were because Luai sucked in a whole bunch of defenders gets it to the edges for Galvin or Bula to draw and pass and get the stat sheets glory . There’s 1 try I give Galvin that was all him , but I think it was coaching in the first place to point out the wings stay up and are exposed behind .
Was the kick to Luke down the edge a couple of weeks ago . Other than that , you can tell there’s game plans around who to target in defence , and and he’s just executing on those game plans . To be honest with luai there , the percentage of really 1 in 4 strike rate on taking advantage of these defensive errors , I think increase exponentially . And the right side IMO , is not like this creative masterclass , it’s giving with to Toa and Turuva and watch them work their magic .
