OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277

What a bad take this is. Improvement would've been May & Hunt being an addition to Stef (or other NRL standard props), not a replacement. The other mids at the club are barely first grade standard and have clear weaknesses in their game.

Meanwhile Melbourne add Stef to Nelson, King, Kamikamica, Loiero, Lazurus, MacDonald, and keep all their other Grand Final team pieces intact.

The way some of you guys merely see the Stef to May/Hunt myopically as a comparison between the two is fairly sad, particularly when the squad also lost Paps and has been severely weakened in the backrow with another barely first grade career middle in Seyfarth shifted there.

But we got May 😂

Keeping Galvin doesn't fix up this shit of a roster.LO I'm

Not enough pace in the outside backs for mine X maybe Taylan can help in this area, are you not happy with Benji?

Not happy with our spine RHS? Benji has the team he mostly wanted. There are no more excuses. Put it that way. Again. Love Benji. Put us on the map as I stated earlier. He manufactured a Soul in our identity. Coaching however is a different kettle of fish than playing. Wouldn't you agree?

On Benji if he is as smart as people think he will learn from his mistakes quickly and adapt I will be patient and give him the season to impress.
The spine has 2 coming back in this week to be at full strength do you think there is a weak link, who is it?
 
As i stated before the season started. Our centres. And our coach ( benefit of the doubt right now).As I stated earlier also Penisini and co. should/could have a field day. Who is responsible for signing Olam? And Bud? Anyone?

Bud was signed before we knew Luai was coming because we were desperate for a half and Olam well it's a crap buy now have to agree they took the gamble that the knee would come good and lost, again desperate for a centre at the time.
 
Thanks RHS. But who signed Bud? Who was that person? The gamble did not pay off. In fact gambling never really turns out well. The difference btwn the top and bottom teams would you not agree?

Yes I agree but the signings after that were all good the trend looks to be heading in the right direction now, he has learnt you would hope and if we were to dump him there's not much out there to bring in his place anyhow.
 
Absolutely. They all seem happy. With Benji. Family first. However we do need a clause for the club as a whole. No more Moses in our club. A cancer.

Really though Panthers were just copying..

Souths with Burgess and Burgess and Burgess used that highly mobile front row as a playmaking pack.

Sharks had some pounders like Gallen. But they also had Luke Lewis who was a 2RF who did play in the halves, along with Heighington and other mobile guys in the front row.

Honestly it's a good idea and one we should copy, but notice the difference?


Penrith, Souths and Sharks had big bodies play a mobile game.
With Galvin were talking someone who is fit, but not a big body like Lewis/Burgess/Yeo.

^Maybe you can credit Sheens with a bit of the above. Heighington, Ellis, Fulton, etc playing a high pass game as mobile 2RF was something he started. Really when I think about it more, Kite/Watmough at Manly seemed to perfect it better.

mate, Stef was never going to put in for the tigers the same way he will for Melbourne.
It is no loss to us, because "the potential" was never going to be fulfilled.
also how big do you think our cap is to fit everyone in?

I was trying to point out the relentless attack on WT by the media (especially the Murdoch media) as I've said before seem to have an agenda to destroy the JV. I called it clickbait because that's what it is, but it's concerning because it does sow seeds of doubt and suspicion around the club & playing group.

It didn't take them long, did it?? It's a concerted effort.
 
According to Murdoch. The world is beautiful and I intends to keep it that way. My way or the highway. The media is a business - trading on Wall St. The spirit is void alongside truth. So take it with a grain of salt TD. And remember stress is the biggest killer in humans in today's society. Social media ain't perfect neither are podcasts. Thats why we were given a brain - in order to reason. This is why the forum is good. We can exchange information. We can call you out on your bullshit. Not you I mean. All of us. The problem is and where I totally see your angle - is the part where young minds being shaped buy into the Murdoch Empire or anyone else's in fact. The brain has not matured enough to have the capability of critical thinking. And I want to throw it out there- thst possibly. - tne young ones in our team buy into it as well. Murdoch mainstream medazalin. Valid point TD2

If he has a great game this week in a win, there’ll be plenty of 180’s on here. Forum-life.

For me, Galvin’s kicking game was poor on Sunday. He’s allowed to have off games but there’s been a few in a row now including trials and the PM game. It’s also the off-field distraction. He’s just not worth a million big ones.

I’m more concerned with Luai’s form. Hopefully Api and Bula will lift everyone.

You don’t need to worry about Luai’s form. He is an experienced professional.
The young blokes are the concern.

I thought he looked good in the second trial, busting tackles. Looks a bit stronger.

Over-played his hand last weekend.

Hopefully the coach had a good debrief with Api & the halves and we play a bit more direct/structured this weekend.
