Anyone else feel Galvin didn’t look to happy playing second fiddle to Sexton today. I noticed a few times Galvin expecting the ball and it went to Sexton.

I couldn’t watch it bro . Sexton dummy’s to kick , throws a beautiful ball inside to Kiraz , then gets it back , and the commentary is all about how Galvin set the try up on the previous tackle …. LOL spare me . It was simple crash ball into a hole runner because the play had broken down .. under 15s stuff .

Keaon Koloamatangi fractured his eye socket also, Terrell may be off to origin camp

Snoz has called up Sharon Woods from retirement. May still in his future plans though.

Carryanis said it in some segment… never mind the fact Benji has repeatedly heaped praise on how Latu has done amazing holding down the middle when he’s a half . Key reference in there “Benji thinks he’s a half who can do a job in the middle “ .
Carryannis has zero ins with the wests tigers

Surely Benji is going to have to pick Latu in the halves next week …I can’t believe he would go with Mason again …

Yeh was a few time they scored and oh wow he passed the ball was magic even Blocker that pissed me off.

Galvin could take steaming dump in his undies and the commentators would talk up how great a job he did shitting himself.

Thanks very much, Tcat. I won't get to sleep I'll be laughing for hours. 🤣

Who is saying this?

I thought Luai was pushing for Latu as the 7?

Thought one of the previous posts was quoting a Carryanis article regarding our pursuit of Jonah Glover as a 7?

I hope that's the case, Lestronge. Latu could almost certainly be successful as a 13, even more so if a style of play was constructed to suit, and more artillery added to our pack. My preference is to give Latu & Luai time together.

I’m hoping Latu is the next Alfy Langer but if good options start falling out of trees I hope Richo is there to catch them.

I'd prefer Richo to position himself under the forwards tree.

This was mentioned a few weeks back.

Thanks Oldschool.

Maybe Richo is adament in recreating his golden rabbit John Sutton. It was initially Galvout but maybe now Latu is the original 5/8 to be transformed into the ballplaying culture-building lock.

Hope he's not as stubborn as Sheens was re Morris.

But the bulldogs motto is "Breed NOT Brought" ...

They have to be the highest recruitment club in the NRL and completely opposite to what they say..

Yea, but that Gould...

Sure, I hate him like I hate the rest. Heck this person drives the team out of the actual team...

That said, he gets results. Penrith went from Occasional finals appearances to a 4 peat!
Dogs went from spooners to likely top of the table.

The dogs are no longer the dogs under Gould. Heck they threw out Josh Jackson and I still don't know why. So Ruthless.

And my last ABC related post (I was in the garden today) is that carayannis also said that while there's been no deal yet, that Bud was definitely not coming back to the tigers.

People asking about the Jonah Glover rumour...I posted earlier that carayannis had said today that we were after him and they see Latu as more of a lock (hence their unsuccessful pursuit of Reynolds - which carayannis thought was good for us that we missed out on him). All the commentators thought we should play Latu at half (I agree).

I don't know whether carayannis knows anything, just wanted to contribute to the rumour thread with a rumour. He sounded pretty certain about all of that, saying firmly that is what we're doing rather than those journalists who sound more like they're speculating.

Interesting. I think the team list this week will tell us a lot about where Benji sees Latu.

I had to laugh when I heard that, I think it was Roach, too.

No but what about the poor dudes with penis fingers, so clumsy they F everything they touch.

That's who Train and Trial contracts are for.

How do people rate Canterbury winger blake Wilson

Too small for modern game unless yr rigged like TOo

Any talk of Latu being anything other than a long term half is crazyyyy.

Theres probably only 3-4 halves under the age of 21 that look like they will be a half in the NRL for 10+ years and Latu is one of them. Even Galvin has question marks over his long term position in the halves.

Might be bias but I see Latu, Katoa and Strange as certainties. Galvin, Fletcher Sharpe and Purdue are definitely 10 year first graders but long term position is a question mark.

Pezet, Sanders, Talagi and King-Tongia all possibles/looking likely.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

On the Latu situation, i would prefer we give him the same opportunities at half or 5/8 the other ungrateful flog got before we pigeon hole him as a 13.

After this time say til the end of the season if he's still shaping up as the most viable option for 13 then so be it. I think he could definitely play there i still think he's a half be it a 6 or 7 but thats just my 2 cents.
