Yeah it’s massive.

He’s not a Cleary type player, he’s probably going to be more late model Fitler-type. He’s got that body size and passing game.

Galvin reminds me of early DCE more than any other player.

so you think he will stay?

After a backflip to Queensland lol.

Galvin with that grin of his, doubt he will ever be despised, no matter how many plum's or chestnuts he decides to store in his cheeks over winter

only game that ive ever seen Cleary totally take a game by the scruff of the neck ,was last years GF ,when it was on the line

But he is always in the mix with every game. He will make Legend status.

He’s done it plenty of times.

Mate give it a rest ffs. . Hes played a year and was a standout, Browns done nothing for years. One wants the ball every chance he gets the other is allergic to it, especially with Moses.

If I was a young half, I'd be watching Cleary and Luai. Cleary was involved in nearly all the play yesterday, but his involvement value added to the play. Wanting to be involved in plays is good, but it is the value adding which separates the outstanding halves like Cleary and Luai from the remainder of the field.

Some people on this forum need some time away from here honestly. I like to check in here every few days to catch up on any news, but instead I have to wade through pages and pages of the same half a dozen people talking absolute rubbish that has nothing to do with rugby league whatsoever. If you are regularly finding yourself having public personal disputes with a stranger on a footy forum at 1am you need to do some thinking about your priorities in life...

Here's the real question.

Would one pay any player $1 million a season after a handful of NRL games?

That is, in a nutshell, what we are dealing with and frankly it's madness to invest so much, so early, when Galvin needs to answer a lot more questions about whether or not he'll reach his potential.

2027 could be a big payday for him depending on how he goes between now and then. A million bucks now?...it's way too risky.

Yes you are right, it would be madness, but the market place will gamble a million plus on Galvin come November. He ticks all the boxes for a lot of clubs. Hope Iam wrong, but it would screw our cap to keep him if his price tag goes crazy

Player managers only have to look after their client. A CEO like Richardson has the entire roster of 30 players to consider. I would imagine this is replicated at all NRL clubs meaning how are clubs going to afford a crazy price tag?

I don’t think he will even if we do have a couple good years. He’s been pretty open about how he hates it, I would be surprised if he changed his mind.

This is a tactic uses woth this Leadership style, it's likely an element of posturing to present a strong anti position.

By year 4 or 5 (if we are good) the NRL will beg us to go

Ring Webster and offer AD for a centre or 2rf richo

Star instead

I think Galvin could learn a lot from watching Cleary. He doesn’t try and do anything every time he has the ball but and he is involved without the ball just as much as he is.
I’m really keen to see how Luai goes with the chance to take charge himself.

Titans have done it a couple times,
So yeah - People would do it.

They did it with proven origin players. Fifita and Cherry-Evans if I'm not mistaken. Is that what you're referring to?

Will he? Maybe, maybe not. Getting really, really boring. Give it a rest. Enjoy the next couple of years.
