Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Don’t know but surely that lack of cohesiveness caused frustration which no doubt contributed to. Only guessing. Your use of words ‘lack of cohesiveness’ better than my poor choice of the word ‘fighting’. As we don’t know.
It could have been galvin had a piss poor attitude and lack of respect and already had ideas to get out. Or it could have been genuinely they didn’t not gel and that made him more inclined to reignite release requests.
Maybe a combination of above
We don’t know but hopefully better going into next season
Galvin is a dog, so signed with the dogs .I agree his attitude was poor and I reckon he was playing a selfish style of football cause Benji aloud it to a degree so he wouldn't leave ,he always had 1 foot out the door..if the 2 of them got along it potentially could have turned into something good ..
 
Hi why are we talking about Galvin hes gonesky time to focus on something new
Because it is relative to thinking about our projections for this year , with most agreeing the dramas did cost us games last season. Taking that into account, players gains and losses, improvements to younger players and relative improvements of other teams… I have us 8th.
Sign another top class front rowers and I believe we are well in and looking at around 5th/ 6th.
If on the other hand we have an injury to Terrel for any significant period and that will put us behind the 8 ball. I reckon injuries to all other positions are not fatal .

I think a general comment is that the combination of Luai and Galvin did not work in the first half of 25 season. The subsequent combination of Luai and Doueihi did. Fainu didn't play enough for assessment. I want to go into 26 season without having to spend half the year trying to get combinations right. That should be sorted pre season.

We can only hope that the summer follows the script but with Latu and Doueihi's injury history that can leave you feeling a little nervous.

Hoping the rugby league gods are kind to us over the summer.

In my opinion Luai looked his best whenever Latu was there. He was good with Latu, decent with Doueihi, and average with Galvin. You could see how much he liked playing with Latu and loved how he straightened the attack for him.
 
They didn’t have much time to prepare together. Jarome didn’t start training until January. He also picked up a leg injury which forced him to miss a few sessions as they had to manage the injury
Don't think it was that at all at the end of pre season training when Galvin calls Luai the teachers Pet and Luai's face changes that's the moment

You could see Galvins jealousy of Benji's attention to Luai as a 4 time premiership winner and origin player
 
Dunno if Luai was getting extra attention from Benji...seemed to.me Benji had given Galvin free rein to play what he seen......Luai being new to the team, sitting back and watching it unfold...si i highly doubt Galvin was jealous, maybe felt threatened or pressured a big name 4 x premier half had arrived

Absolutely that played a massive part. But they didn’t have as much time together as people may think.
 
The reason it didn’t work is because Galvin had the blessing of the club to play what he saw as he was the golden child.
Luai is a golden child from a different system who plays similarly.
Neither can organise a root in a brothel.
