Man he’s everything we’ve needed in a prop

Far be it from me to brag, but I admit I was close - but who knew ypu get penalised for a slow scrum set?

"I don't expect the Eels halves to dominate so the forward battle will probably come down to an arm-wrestle. My prediction is 18-6 our way in the first half with Latu & Bird coming on in the last 10 to set up 2 tries against tired legs. The second half is a lottery." from yesterday at 2.35pm

So?

So I want to win everything mate but if you don’t see the improvement in a trial you are blind!

 

[Tim Sheens]

Surprise surprise, a half plays very straight (Latu) and gets his outside man one on one as a result.

To be fair, I have been a lot happier with Galvin as well in that regard compared to last week.

Addo Carr is Funny

Nice kick from AD

Galvin's future is in the backrow. He looks much stronger this year.

A bit to like about that half - forwards strong, signings have all been excellent skelton a great addition, jack bird, may and hunt providing some much needed quality.

A bit not to like - goal line attack looks poor still, bad discipline at bad times

In one half!

Yeah, yeah 🙂

Who is accountable for that scrum penalty - is it the half?

TDS. Didn't pack in.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

How’s this for an idea. Mason in the centres

Latu’s touches are class. I thought that last week even though he didn’t have many touches. He does things at speed.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Even as Galvin's biggest fan, we might honestly be better served with:

6. Latu
7. Luai
13. Galvin

Or even

6. Bird
7. Luai
13. Galvin

14. Latu

But I don't see Galvin being happy playing outside of the halves.

Don’t get it. He’s having a great game and his kicking game is super, finding gaps and grass on his long kicks every time .

No way. He’s going to be a nightmare for defenders playing pivot. He can run, pass or kick at five eighth and he’s only getting stronger.

Nice kick from AD

Actually nice kicking from AD, 40/20, bomb, short kick and 3 conversions.
Pity about Naden but Douehi ready to relocate for round one.

Latu’s touches are class. I thought that last week even though he didn’t have many touches. He does things at speed.

He is a very direct halfback which is exactly what you need in the modern game. A threat running and passing the footy also

 

[AdelaideTiger]

Pole is such a handful, best footwork at the club. I love how direct we have played, interesting to see what happens when the game opens up a bit and the edges get a bit more room, Toa looks threatening

 

[Demps]

AD playing so well

Good to see

 

[Stevec]

Doueihi's pathetic effort chasing on the inside for Parra's first try highlighted his lack of effort to cover other team mates mistakes.

I thought both Skelton and Naden both missed tackles for Para first try

 

[JC99]

May is in every thing. Twal was solid. Pole did his job, Bird injected energy and hunt was electric. Surprisingly seyfarth and Sammy have been quiet

Not surprised about Seyfarth - Sam Fainu hasn't really been given good ball with AD next to him.

Can't wait to see him hitting holes off Luai
