It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

I initially thought he lacked a little movement speed last year......the so called fast twitch and that he needed more time. But no, it's just him, he just lacks a yard or two of pace. His definitely ready and going to be a very good player imo.
Anyway, the two things that impress about this guy to me is his ability to pass late into the line, and his defence. Seems opposition coaches don't even bother to target him much because they don't see much of a weakness. Rare for any half especially at 18, last guy I saw like that defensively at 18 was Lamb.
The way the game is evolving into high scoring affairs the coaching staff might have an opportunity to leverage onto this by basically putting the 13 on his back and playing Luai pretty much the way his used now with Latu at 7.
Reckon Galvin can lope it up and with 3 guys around the scrum base taking on the line passing late asking questions virtually every play it might be a revelation.

Thing is Galvin is maybe going to earn 350-450k total over the next 2 years. If he re-signs soon then he could earn say 2.5-3 million over the next 4 years, tell him we want you to be the King of Campbelltown and the face of the club.
If he's genuine in his claims that he loves the club, the region, his team mates and the fans then he'd jump at that. Giving him everything he wants, increasing his salary by 600% and giving him the opportunity to carve out some history at the club
If in the end it doesn't go to plan he would be free to leave the club and still not even be in his mid 20s to chase a premiership elsewhere.
If he signs on his agent also gets his slice of the pie now,, not in a few years. Everyone wins

Galvin would be waiting on Luai to arrive do the pre season , see how they bond and once we get 2025 under way , Richo will be sitting ready to jump ,
4 wins from first 5 games and he signs on , he will,be lapping up the connection with Luai and winning feeling will also help our whole team become stronger , I feel we can if this club buys 3 solid players , make the 8 next year , we have 3 good players coming so far , just add 3 more

Goulds comments on Galvin!
“But honestly, Lachlan Galvin, by the time he has retired, god willing, touch wood, and I don’t want to mock him, Lachlan Galvin will earn more money out of rugby league than any player in history. That’s going to be my prediction.
“I think he’s the best teenage footballer I’ve ever seen"
You know what that means...! Gus and Laundy hatching a plan!

Not a truer word said. I love the passion of our fans but we need to be patient and have Lachie enjoy his footy and know our fans have got their back. You would be surprised how much of this gets back to our players especially the young kids that read into this a lot more than they should.
He is a superstar of the future and we are lucky to have a kid of this calibre playing for us. I remember it wasn't long ago that the Knights and Eels had earned 2 or 3 wooden spoons, we are trending in the right direction, hopefully with a couple of good signings to add to Luai, Turuva and Skelton we are looking good to change the direction of our club.

It is a travesty that this guy (Gould) can have such a high profile media role whilst being so closely aligned/ employed with 1 team

You would think a conflict-of-interest declaration would be mandatory for high profile media identities commentating on rugby league. This should be updated annually.

He needs to give up one of the roles he has …simple as that

We all need to write letters to Vlandys demanding this conflict of interest be removed for everyone. You can either work in media, or be an agent, or be a club official. You can only be one of those three.
Step down from one obligation to pick up another.

Its really crazy that a manager who has sat in positions of power in this organisation for decades, equates money earnt as the highest indicator of quality.

Whether true or not, it feels as though the vast majority of his comments are motivated by his own/bulldogs self interests. He can publicly praise the hell out of these players so the next round of negotiations he can say something along the lines of "you just need to read what I have said about you all this time to know what I think of you".
His criticisms of the game in general and officiating are similar.
Maybe its tall poppy, maybe I just can't stand the guy.
