I don’t normally follow, nor care too much about former WT players, including Galvin. That said, I will likely happily continue to have a quick gander at this thread each time that it resurrected. As long as he and/or others continue to think he is an NRL half, he was never going to be much of...

Not really, we had a halfback capable of directing the team this week, and absence of one last week.

^^^^This^^^^ Horrible pass, but he made it look easy.

I have only caught up with the Mini version, but even from that it was clear the boys were mostly good, and having a proper halfback made a huge difference.

Agreed. Api has surprised me on the back of his off-season physical improvement to have arguably been our best so far with long minutes. I would still prefer he plays less minutes, but I have little hope of that currently with Hope as back-up.

Api looks so much stronger and fitter in recent photos.

Agreed, though if Herbert isn't ready to play NRL in round 4, why on bloody earth was he signed up to our top 30!

Just glad to see an actual halfback in Madden there this weekend.

A Samuela and Latu edge, I like it and hope that the younger gets a run of games to show his wares.

I am looking forward to having an actual halfback on the field, and hope that Madden can make a good enough go of it to make a genuine claim for the spot, short or long term. Doueihi has really picked up his game, both defensively and effort wise in general as shown again against the cows, but...

Madden is considered good enough to be chosen as the 14 by Benji, yet having him spending all 160 minutes on the bench wearing it thus far.

Definitely.

I wouldn't be able to stomach watching that again. Maybe the last five minutes of the first half.

Not really, he would almost certainly be playing wing anyway without our centre injuries.

I/we would be able to say "so what" if our forwards hadn't pretty well dominated theirs despite basically wasting KPP, yet they still failed to capitalise. Only scoring two tries on the back of all that field position, both coming in a few minute period on the back of Sione and Royce efforts.
