He is the perfect foil. Just does his job. I actually liked that he tried to take on the line a couple of times to keep the defense guessing. His defense was actually pretty solid apart from a couple of misses. Long it may continue so to ease the pressure of Api.

The kid has Scott Hill type all over him. Scott Hill had all the time in the world and was tough as they come. Top footballer. Galvin has similar build and football playing style. He plays with pose and can handle the tough stuff also. Him taking some hit ups and playing through the line at his...

I just tried to look also but no luck. To be honest I would go into hiding also if I was that person and his staff. Peter Moussa is the Head of Performance which I assume S&C comes under his remit.

We have not had a decent S&C coach since Steve Flokes (one of the best there was). How did we do in those 2 years he was with us. we made the semi's and we had a harden shell within the squad. Everyone worked their socks off, we were fitter and stronger than ever before. We have never been like...

Should be rolling that footage at all times around the joint. Best backrower the club has ever had.

I will be happy to proven wrong but I do not see Marshall succeeding as the coach. If he was our attack coach last year, then I expect no improvement in this area as they played exactly the same way in the trial against St George. Marshall should have surrounded himself with experience coaches...

Not the worst option to be fair....did pretty well at 5/8 the other night against Penrith. Can cover most outside back positions and has now been in pretty good winning culture system at Wigan.

Cant disagree with you on that mate but just running hard and into holes should be bread and butter. That is a coaching issue which I agree with you.

Blair all over again it seems. I just want him to be running hard and those decent lines he run at Parra. He doesn't he get in the right position to make those type of runs. I long for the days of getting a Gareth Ellis type clone backrower again.

Shame about Alan Thompson as he is highly regarded in the Welfare space. Hoping this area of the football club does not go backwards as its presence cannot be underestimated. I would assume the gear steward is Vincent Marando who has been around for ages. If so, are they bringing in Bryce Gibbs...

I walked backed from Paddy Markets to Parramatta once and thought I was pretty tough and resilient. I have also done the Bay Run plenty of times also :) - all jokes aside, respect anyone who has done the Kokoda trail.

I am happy with this trade considering our forward depth. I do like Blore but to be honest he had a run back end of last year and didn't really set the world on fire. I think this is a good swap deal in an area we are lacking strike power. My only concern is that Olam is a pretty simple center...

Glad to hear that you are on the mend mate.

everyone has a little apprehension when starting a new job and this is no different. He looks like he is embracing the change and the challenge. I like how he plays and hoping he gets a good run and partnership with Sezer early on.

Do we not have offices to conduct business at HQ? Seriously, why are we conducting negotiations at pubs/restaurants and in the public eye and then people complain that it is leaked. This is not just us but all NRL clubs. Just shows the lack of professionalism in NRL negotiations. No...
