Latu’s performance was much better. He carried us
OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.
- Thread starter ancient_magpie
- Start date
Interesting that some of the best young talent in the halves is coming through away from the Sydney media spotlight. There is nothing in Galvins game that elevates him from the likes of Strange, Sharpe, Katoa, maybe Purdue - havnt watched him enough - yet the talk has been ridiculous and still is.

Yep, not saying much really is it

Stuart has said the long term plan is the Ethan’s - Sanders and Strange, however he wants an experienced head to guide them…maybe a Jake Clifford.

Was a shoe-in to be the comps Rookie of the Year if not for a dodgy hip drop charge.
I’d say that’s mighty impressive 🤷♂️

Individually that’s great yeah .. but how did he go as a team player? Always selfishly took the wrong option

We (Wests Tigers) are responsible for that.
We told the world we had the next superstar and the talking heads ran with it.

Don’t go doing to Latu what we did to Galvin.
Latu was great against a very weak Roosters side, yet shit against a weak Warriors side.
He is a work in progress just as Lachlan is.
I think Gus took it to the next level

“Always” ... and yet keen league judges, former stars and even immortals kept raving about how good he was.
Funny game rugby league 🥴

Undoubtedly…Latu has got a long way to go…
he seems shy which isn’t the best trait for a halfback trying to order his forwards and two older brothers round the park … we know Galvin by comparison has no problems with his confidence in his own abilities ….
Where I see that Latu will eventually become a better player is that he has got some zip whilst Galvin is a turtle…the better teams defensively won’t respect his lack of pace and will cut down his time by rushing up on him …he has 13 written all over him if he can put on the weight ..would need to up his defence to be anything more at that position than average ..
Do you think Canterbury is going better or worse since he joined?

lol these same judges have pumped up Brooks and plenty of others in the past. Let’s hope for your sake they aren’t wrong 🤞

Yep along with Michael Ennis. Joey and Mathew Johns and quite a few others…like Cronk and Alexander were also very premature in their high praise.

Said the same thing about Ash Taylor too. Joey likes anyone who holds the ball in two hands and throws the occasional good cutout. Generally a good commentator but he does get obsessions with certain players.

“For my sake” ?
I’m just being positive about a kid that everyone who knows him, says is a bonza fella 👍

Galvin has a distinct advantage atm being in a better system with better players around him. If things don’t change, it won’t matter how good Latu is cos it will be Galvin who makes a name for himself.

This is true, let’s just hope the bulldogs and co crumble. I can’t stand them

He probably is a good kid but I hate him as a footy player, which I feel is perfectly fine 👍

Me too. But last night is proof that death riding him is a pointless endeavour.
You're right. I'm happy to never think about him again, except to see if he's named against us, or not. And, because I dont like the dogs, any loss for them is a win for me 😂
