OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Magpie_Magic]

He held his own when ran straight at. He was wasn’t good laterally and was rarely dominant/easily bumped off when in cover.
Certainly a part of his game that needs work.

Certainly not Wally Lewis.

Not a fast twitch player. Could use an extra yard of pace but still developing.

But really at 18.

Can't really think of too many better defensive halves.

And with Luai we will have two of the better defensive halves in the competition.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Geez we are getting carried away.

Andrew Johns was the best defensive half I have ever seen buy a long stretch. Would belt blokes. He debuted at the same age as Galvin. Much better defender than Galvin or Lamb.

John's was super, but I'm talking about at 18.

The King and the black pearl were the best defenders I've seen at 5/8.

Didn't see them at 18 though , saw Lamb however and he was belting blokes at 18.

Didn't say Galvin's allround game is anywhere near above.

 

[Buttface]

Anyone remember a better defensive half especially at 18.

The closest for me was Lamb at 18 with the maggies.

Noticed at the back end this year Galvin wasn't even targeted much in defence by opposition coaches...........
..rare for any half especially a rookie.

Lamb broke my heart when he left us, there’s still a scar.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Luai made 8 tackles last night, 4 missed tackles and 3 ineffective tackles.....

Sounds poor. Thought lots of players were off their game from the outset from both sides last night despite the tremendous intensity and commitment obviously.

How does Luai rank defensively for missed tackles as a half through year throughout the competition?

Don't have stat's but would think he is above average as a defender in his position.

Are you talking about Galvin?
If they counted arm grabbing or running a pilot vehicle for the attack - he’d have won the dally m

Whilst your are correct,I’m pretty sure we’re not buying him to tackle !

Agree and likewise,

And the scumbags had to boot the Magpies out to get himto break contract.

Greg florimo .great defender at 5/8

Well, to cut a long story short Lamb was contracted for 1984.

They kicked the maggies out so Lamb was a free agent.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Im not the one claiming he will be one half of the best defensive half pairs in the NRL. Far from it.

Apart from Hughes and Munster and DCE can't think of many better defensive halves pairs actually.

Also Townsend and Dearden.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Mate you are entitled to your opinion

Certainly potential.

Seriously though can't think of too many better pairings as defensive halves, notoriously a week spot for all clubs.

 

[Tucker]

It’s one for us as well, don’t you worry..
Our entire squad needs extensive training.

 

[Merlot]

more fun then the others,thats 4 sure

 

[Tucker]

He’s gone.
Where were we?
Our defensive halves….Surely Luai can bring some systems with him that will get our backline understanding how to work together. This year was our worst in 25 years.

Yea...

Trying to think:
Hugues/Munster is probably one of the better ones.
DCE/Brooks is decent, because DCE is just that good.
Cronulla don't do too badly as Hynes/Trindal can tackle. ....

O'sullivan/Milford for the Dolphins perhaps? (if they go with that pairing). Which could be Katoa/Nikorima??

oh yea, forgot Cleary/Luai... Which I am certain Penrith will keep Luai's replacement defending well

 

[Tucker]

Seriously

Yes

 

[Merlot]

Seriously

unsure if ive got it right,no notifacation here,but i think Tucker may b a Mummys boy,sorry that this kicked off on your tag,it wasnt what you said,it just grates me when people(not you) constantly ridicule most people 4 an opinion
