I personally don’t see how they can play him now. In an ideal world we have Latu, but Galvin may be more detrimental in the team with everyone against him than having him out of the team.

If you pay close attention to his body language against the knights it’s not good. He doesn’t get much engagement from teammates, and he blames them when he makes mistakes. All irrelevant now, but it sheds some light on why Richo pulled the pin.

Yes, he’s made some big errors. TDS also made it clear he wants to stay and build.

I don’t like commenting on this, but I know some people who know some people and earlier in the year Lachie was genuinely happy about the club and its direction. My word is that it’s changed recently, and maybe it has something to do with the click of Luai, May, Turuva etc and their relationship...

Yes, I thought as much - I think there's more to this story than we know i.e. Richo must know there's offers from other clubs or something like that.

It's not punishing him, it's doing the best thing for the club. How does it make sense for the tigers to continue to develop him when we have another option that is up to it and needs development? He made he call, he knows the potential consequences.

is it possible that the club will change it's mind or is it done?

Well, I think that Richo has been in enough situations like this to know when Galvin isn't being straight. There's wanting to go to market, and there's wanting to go to market. When we have cards in our hand like Latu, you don't play games with a player that has a foot out the door. Look at what...

I think he could be a very good 6 - maybe he doesn't have the speed, but he has the deception and as he gets bigger he'll be even harder to stop. I agree that he'll most-likely end up in the back row. However, I also think Latu could be an excellent 6 so I'm not too concerned. First step...

I don't think it's sour grapes. It's just business. We can't afford to put more time in to a player that doesn't want to be at the tigers, and you can't win a comp with someone that doesn't want to be there either.

His latest injury was contact, not breaking down. He'll be fine.

Not when the future of the club depends on it - with more game time Latu could be just as effective.

If he doesn't want to be at the club, you drop him once Latu is better. Galvin is doing what is right for him, and the club needs to build for the future without him.

He scored a try that he created, delivered a pass to score a try, was good under the high ball. If that's coming in and out of games then I'll take it. You don't want him hitting his straps till later in the year anyway.

Don’t disagree, was just posing the question. He’s been good in many ways - let’s hope he can sort out his kicking this week.

Douehi has offers meters out of yardage too. I’d like to see him put up a couple of monster bombs at some point.

the “run meters” stat that gets brought up isn’t necessarily a positive. He’s running too much in my opinion - least year when he was a bit more of an unknown quantity he could make some line breaks, but this year opposition are all over him, and he’s not strong enough yet to make more line...

Probably score another if Galvin hits Deouhi with a pass in second half. Agree with Benji from presser - attack was poor but take the positives. In the past if our attack was poor, so was our defense and we couldn’t hold the opposition out.

Given how poor Douehi’s kicking has been, do you pick Naden instead? If Skelton wasn’t injured I’d probs got say yes. I don’t think we should put Laulili and Naden in same backline.

hamstrings are tough - general idea is that once you feel ready you should wait one more week, but it’s competently up to how the player feels. Skelton probably would have said he was fine last week.
