"...... following injuries to new signings Latu Fainu and Jayden Sullivan"
What??
He's too talk and skinny to be the next 'Joey Johns' though....
He's the next Nathan Cleary apparently...
You'd reckon Jett Cleary would be the closest thing to the next Nathan 😂😂
There seems to be a massive push for this bloke,all i can say is i hope he lives up to expectations.However like all young blokes he needs time to mature and i just hope that he is allowed enough time to get it.When you are trying to bleed a young bloke into first grade it is far easier if it is just one unfortunately we don't have that luxury as we have quite a few who will be feeling undue pressure on them this year.If they have bad games the most important thing to think about is they are very young and should learn from the experience

Sullivan injured, doesn't surprise me. Will probably be the next Josh Reynolds for us....
Let’s hope he handles the hype more then the ‘next Andrew Johns’ did.
He is a half mate. You might want to believe what you want but he is wasted on an edge.

All clubs are very cautious with sitting players out who have niggling injuries in pre-season.
Sullivan and L. Fainu have both been doing sessions in the recent training photos, so looks like they’ve recovered from whatever niggle they had.

Maybe he did handle the hype. Maybe the media just put an unfair label on him. Maybe it had nothing to do with the hype and he was never going to be that good
I’m not talking about ability. I’m talking about mentality.
Unfairly our new young hot shot has been compared to the best player in the game.
With brooks. In interviews he said it so himself. He hated that tag a rookie being compared to the best player in the game.
History repeating again.
Brooks wanted to shy away whenever it is mentioned such is his personality.
I just hope Galvin can take it in his stride and not let it affect him.
Ironically though I do see ability similarities between Cleary and even DCE in Galvin.
Though in 2015 the year before his debut Cleary was tearing up the 20s comp I’m not sure Galvin has played even 1 game of Flegg.

The mole probably went to training one day and from the outside of the fence looking through binoculars seen Galvin having a run while the other two were taking a piss and made up a story.
Click bait, got me.
I reckon the chance that he actually bothered to attend training to make that observation, rather than make it up, is less than 1%.
He is remarkably awful considering his stature as a journo during the Rugby League Week days
I'm well aware of the kid....
Read what I actually wrote maybe?
I didn't say anything about 'him' playing on an Edge
- I said we're the Tigers and we've played plenty of Edge players in the Halves over our history before picking a lower grade player whose actually a half
(To'a played 5/8 last year yeah?)
That said, Galvin plays rep footy in the back row....
That was before most here even knew who he was
- In answer to your mislead reply....
Either way, it matters very little what I believe - Nor you for that matter...

He's a big lanky lad with talent, but he's not ready for first grade. I doubt Benji will throw him in this year.

ahhh Moley. well behind the times.
Galvin was spotted in a moon boot only just this weekend. while photos indicated a little while back that he was playing down the 'first grade' right edge, it looks like Sullivan's been getting plenty of reps there of late.
all of these articles and rumours are irrelevant anyway. all three will be in the mix to partner Sezer, and I doubt we get a clear picture until the end of the trial period.

I remember when Tony Adams was a somewhat credible journo. What the hell happened.
He probably had a few drinking sessions with Slothfield
Interesting both budd and Fainu both training with the main squad on Monday. Galvin was injured and didn’t train.
