OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

He is very rough still. Some brilliant moments and some momentum killing moments. In thinking about his creativity and instincts, however, he is a pretty rare player. There's not many halves out there that have that ability to play that way, let alone teenagers.

I still think katoa is the best young half in the game, his organisation and defense and kicking game already look very consistent and solid. But Galvin is a different sort of player and potentially as valuable.

He's much looser this year which has both created errors and moments of brilliance. He is already a much better player than Moses or brooks ever were for us and he is probably close to that Tedesco level where the tigers game is starting move around him, with or without luai.

You can also see the way luai creates the space for Galvin, holding up the defensive line with his guile, and they are looking like a surprisingly good combination, even though they do still have moments of getting in each others way or pulling in opposite directions.

You can also see that the tigers would still be threatening with only luai, where I'm not confident Galvin could carry the team on his own. In other words, I think luai makes Galvin better and is allowing him to do his random stuff.

Katoa indeed look dangerous last night. He and Nikorima carved us a new one a couple of times.

I think it showed that he is more effective playing a little wider of the ruck at the moment. He doesn’t need to touch the ball 5 times a set. Just pick his times to inject himself when he sees an opportunity.

In the To’a/Turuva movement, it was actually Api who played the pivot role and got the defence to slow down which provided Lachie the necessary space to do his thing.

Exactly as I saw it.
Api is our best first receiver inside the opposition 20.
Id like to see Api as first receiver and he is chosing to either go right to Lachy or left to Luai, having both those guys a little wider and in full on attack mode with Bula floating is very dangerous for defences. At this time of the year it will reap big point hauls.

Terrell May can also jump into pivot too. Getting both our 6s playing for 3 on twos is the recipe.

I think that Latu and his manager will look to move on if stuck behind JL and Galvin… he probably wants his chance to get his own big deal , but that will require a couple of years playing in the halves in the NRL which is unlikely to be happening at WT

Inevitable..we can live with that
Buds still floating around too
