    Big no to booing Galvin from me. Whatever opinion you have of his play, he puts in and he's entitled to leave if he wants to, he owes us nothing. We can boo him when he's wearing other colours. As for releasing or dropping him, why? He's a quality player on a cheap contract. Even if you put...

    OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

    I don't think we should drop him, he's too good, I like the @Tucker solution of playing him at centre. It will probably simplify the game for him anyway. Doueihi into the halves until Latu returns then it's Latu time, a player who is arguably as good in potential as Galvin. Sad to see Galvin...

    Alex Seyfarth #232

    With tail between my legs, I'd officially like to join the Alex seyfarth fan club. I always thought of him as an error riddled weak defender with poor decision making. But this year he's been rock solid out wide and does all the little things that allow the rest of the team to play well. He...

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    I think luai is fine at 7. I don't think it's easy with a halves partner who doesn't even seem to know what he's going to do, let alone what he wants others to do. I like Galvin and his talent is obvious, but he's going through a patch where he seems scrambled.

    Yes, his play is concerning. His ball hogging is too predictable. Needs to do more just early balls to the backs, let them play.

    Most importantly, he's been much better defensively lately.

    Not really much to draw from it, but in recent years players who left us have gone on to find better form at their new clubs. It felt like the same might happen this year with well credentialed experienced players leaving us in bad form. However, that form has continued at their new clubs so...

    TEAM LIST Round 6 vs Knights

    People on here are pretty confident. I see that Newcastle have a number of injuries but I think a win away at Newcastle would be a big achievement for our club and I don't think it will be easy. The last time we played them they ran over us and would have had quite a few tries were it not for...

    3-2-1 3, 2, 1 vs the donkeys

    Interesting a lot of people have Galvin very high. What do people who rate his game think of his organisation and pass selection? His attacking kicks were very good, but I think he had a lot of bad moments and we looked choppy and messy without luai, and I don't feel that was latu's fault. Seems...

    Alex Seyfarth #232

    Yeah those stats are poor. I'm a really big critic of seyfarth but I actually think he's been doing well. I don't know that he's really there for hit ups. It's not like we struggle with go forward, and that's definitely not his strength, so I think he does his part in the team, which is to...

    LIVE GAME Round 5 v Broncos

    I don't agree at all, but it was interesting in the press conference that Reynolds said when talking about the chip kick that they had looked at Bula during the week and were planning the chip to catch him out. Obviously they're seeing something similar to your frustrations.

    LIVE GAME Round 5 v Broncos

    First 30 was very impressive. Line speed and physicality was best I've seen for ages. We obviously ran out of puff before half time. Right throughout the Broncos halves looked so classy, all the little things they do well and they really singlehandedly lifted them with the 2pt field goal...

    Katouga doesn't look impressive to me. Inconsistent in attack and poor in defense. True that he's better than tumeth, though.

    The Election 2025

    I too lament the rapid rate of migration, but what about arguments that suggest they play a vital role in skill shortages and reducing the migration number therefore has deeper economic impacts rather than just the simple suggestion that fewer people equals more available housing stock? Perhaps...

    The Election 2025

    Long rant, sorry. I want to get it all in before we all get banned: I am really disappointed that both the government and opposition don't push for tax reform or spending cuts that prioritise a balanced budget. This idea of surpluses in 10 years time by both the libs last election and Labor now...

    Galvin has many really good moments but I'm still not convinced he's a top tier player. Still a liability defensively, inconsistent in attack with plenty of errors, often cramps up attacking movements. So much also to like: variety of passing, kicking game getting better and better, strength...

    NRL Refs

    I'm confused about 'six again' calls. In the set before the Bula no try we got a six again call in goalkicking range. I assume if we knock on in the play the ball or something like that then that would become a full penalty because there was no advantage. Which is weird that only after an error...

    LIVE GAME Round 4 chat *spoilers*

    I'm surprised by Papalii's fitness. He always looked tired and unfit at the tigers but you expect him to go to another level at Penrith, but there he is huffing and puffing after his minimal impact and small minutes. It's hard to figure out what happened to him.

    TEAM LIST Round 4 vs Warriors

    Warriors have a good side. Excellent props. They're a bit weak in the halves. If we can stay even on the play the ball speed I'd say we will do well, but I'm not as confident as some.

    OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

    Luke Brooks was crap for us, what is there to do but observe that? I don't think the fans did that to him. We all hoped he would be better. Brooks' first game was his best until his 200th. He did not improve. Galvin is rough but shows a lot more promise than Brooks. You see him getting better...
