I mentioned the Origin thing because you said he “was cooked “ when he went to the GC…
Whilst he was obviously not at his best .. he was still a more than capable player to be having the impact he did in the 1991 series …the highest level of the game
The side the Broncos had in 92-93 was much superior to the team that Wally played with .. he had a personality clash with Bennett and got moved on … no surprises there right ?
You still seem to miss the original point I was making .. Luia needs more help to make a difference to this WT team … do you really think differently?
Is the Galvin stuff real , or sensationalist nonsense again ?
The Stef stuff is meh IMO . He is not worth a mil a year . IMO we should let him walk and get 2 above average hardnuts.
And the Galvin stuff is also Meh . If he wants to go then unless your offering an elite back rower as compensation than the answer is no .
He’s a weapon , no doubt , but with Latu waiting the wings and Makasini (centre I know) and Large also coming through , it’s the one area we can leverage into strengthening another area .
he’s the one I’d like to have kept the most , but that’s also recency bias , as much as anything . We haven’t seen Fainu in the halves yet or fully fit and Large is 16/ 17. I will say this ! Fainu chose to come here knowing how shit we were going to be .
like I said , if Galvin wants to go , I honestly don’t care , but uncle Moses needs to front up and score us an edge back rower of real quality , otherwise his star 18 year old will be stuck here , and if Fainu comes good then there’s a real chance , Lachie could be starting for the magpies next year . Such is the fickle nature and “what have you done for me lately “mentality of professional sports . Look at Adam Doueihi . Was the next captain … until he wasn’t .
Not to mention Luai is the current NSW 6. So you know … we have strong bargaining power on this one

If the club holds strong & doesn't sink it's future into Galvin, this gives Fainu vs Galvin to be Luai's partner in the halves real competition.
I STILL believe Fainu is the better 5/8.
Galvin just looks like an edge forward of the future to me. Wade Graham/Gavin Miller/Liam Fulton/Josh Schuster type. Probably more Graham.

I agree mate .
I find all the whinging because he had only with a sore hand to be very Matterson like re. Attitude . At the very least it’s the same play book as . Claim negligence to agitate for a release .
What’s the go with players from Parra having shit attitudes . Matterson , Moses , Stef ( maybe) , Galvin … that can’t be a coincidence .
He’s not BIG , get over this winger thing , we need forwards 1st and foremost, get up front sorted 1st the rest will come , have u ever put a football team together , I got 30 odd years at it .

I think that's what a lot of us hope once Luai get here, no doubt he will drive culture. Hopefully they all buy in and as a collective him and Api can make the difference.

Mate you said all top sides have big outside backs. Just pointing out that if your hungry enough you don't have to be big. Although it helps. Too, Turuva, May and Tago makes a small back 4 compared to other teams.

is it Latu’s hamstring issues that make you so confident ?

Bit wild reposting a photo of the bloke that put 32 points on you on your instagram story after apparently doing all you can be to leave the club

I have actually. In the days before NRL coaches had large mobile athletes playing centre and wing. I used forwards to do the hit ups too. Times change.

Replace big with powerful then if we’re getting ticky tacky. I’d chuck in Burton and Crichton also when thinking about this panthers dynasty.
Funny on 180 Gordon Tallis sticking up for us in regards to Galvin and his stage parents! Saying they knew he was at a struggling club when he signed his last contract and nothings changed. Then one of the other weasel journos said his parents wanted him gone before the season cause tigers signed Sullivan and Latu even though they had a star sg ball player coming through as a second rower. Stupid us!
What’s your point?? Is your point that I am right? If so I agree…

You expect the same from both is my point? Am I right?
Read again champ I was saying u can’t compare them at all, they’re at different stages and one already has the runs on the board and one has vertically none!

Is similar to the big 4.
Instead of wanting to work and build success, I want to leave and go where I can leverage of the success of others

The craziest thing about the big four is that the only player who didn't seem to completely cheat the club was Brooks. Moses tanked the remander of his career at tigers than ran to his role at parra. Woodsy, did a woodsy, and Teddy went to the roosters and leveraged of the insane team they had. Brooks stayed through with us, although on huge money, and seemed pretty loyal till the end putting up with all sorts of hate.
