OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Tom Shines said:
I think it’s got something to do with poor defence, being a very selfish player in attack, showing a complete lack of effort at times… and having a crack at younger players when they make an error ,when he should be taking a look in the mirror ..

Don’t know if it’s part of Benji’s game plan, but he seems to handle the ball a lot for a centre.

Tucker where do you think Galvin's future is. You reckon once he fills his frame in he could be a ball playing lock in a yeo mould

Yes I do but not necessarily in the Yeo mold. I think he gets more involved and wont be as powerful.

I would like to see him base his game on Brad Mackay. For those who dont remember him, Brad was highly skillful and versatile, proving invaluable to his clubs, NSW and Australia. He was also an energiser bunny who just played his guts out every week. As a QLDer, I saw him as a constant threat because he was tireless and kept coming at you. There was one origin where he started at 5/8 opposing the King. Everytime Wally touched the ball, Brad was in his face and smacked him. At halftime there was a reshuffle due to injury and Brad was moved into the pack, with Brandy taking over at 5/8. Lewis ran riot in that second half and we won.

He was one of my favourite players as he was a born footballer. He thrived as a ball playing lock due to his big motor and the skillset of a half and thats where I see a lot of similarities in Galvin and also see his best use.

I thought it was one of Galvin's best games, didn't take Walkers crap either, very good players have time, and he has it.

I realise this is a Galvin thread, but my remark was relative to a AD discussion.
On Galvin, I saw a good performance from him also. If I may add? His defence needs work though, particularly when he’s chasing. He has the speed to touch the shoulder of the ball carrier but that’s as far as it goes.

You can see by how much Glavin gets involved and runs the ball that he just doesn't get tired. He could be an amazing backrower if he thickens up appropriately. A combo of Scott Hill, Brad Mackay and Brad Clyde (style wise I'm talking, not saying he is better then all 3 together).

imagine if the halves are Galvin and Latu next week . Dway-he will be running roughshod over those two …playing inside them most likely

I dont mind Doueihi touching it near opposition goalines. He is big and powerful close to the line and worries defences. He shouldnt be conducting plays outside the 20. Our halves are there for a reason.

Yeah good call on Scotty Hill as well. Deceptively brilliant ballplayer and an energetic hardnut to boot. Clyde was top of the heap. A combo of those three is a future immortal.

Remember him well, such a great player for St George, Illawarra & rep teams.

A ball-playing, roaming, backing-up, cover-defending lock could well be the position for Galvin to take advantage of his assets especially fitness.

If it worked and we had a spine of 1 Bula - 6 Latu - 7 Luai - 13 Galvin - 9 TDS/Api, we would be very dangerous!

Obviously players get targeted more when we’re losing but with some of the comments i’m seeing on here are people forgetting he’s in his rookie year?

19 yo rookie.
I’m not sure if he will end up a 5//8 or not but to say he won’t is still to early. The kids got skills trains hard and has a go. He could end up being a 3,4,6,7,11,12,or 13 at this stage. If Luai is 7 and Latu goes well at 6, to fit them all in, I’m thinking centre then lock as he gets older and hopefully fills out. But I also reckon he’ll go to the highest bidder, so we won’t have to worry ourselves too much.

Would you consider him at fullback? He definitely has the motor and the voice. Maybe not as quick as some but I think he has the height, defensively serviceable and can ball play. I also think it will allow him to choose his time in injecting himself in the play and not over play his hand. Bula to centre is not a bad option either.
