Yep, one of our NSW Cup props is Josh Finau.I think we have a Finau on the books don’t we KR?
I think it’s confused me previously. Not that it’s difficult to be Confucius.

More like Wish, refunds are very hard to get.Is it like K Mart we get a refund as long as we have the docket?
Some good ideas, particularly the Galvin upgrade/extension.My view for what’s it’s worth is
1. Upgrade galvin now and extend him for a further 3 yrs (if possible)… would have to upgrade the next 3 years from (these are numbers I believe in media for his current contract)
yr 1$150 to $250 ,
Yr 2 $250 to $450 and
Yr 3 $350 to $500,
and then further 3 yrs at $1m. (Moves up with salary cap)
* he’s only going to extend if we upgrade the next three years of his deal so we can use that as leverage.
And then get rid of sullivan and douehi
Keep sezer for next yr
And then play Fainu in the centers like Matt Burton did for Penrith. (If he’s good enough)
Have sezer on the bench.
Play galvin 6, luai 7, fainu 3.
Then in 2028 when Fainus deal is up we have luai for another two years - if fainu is better then luai - sell luai last two years of his deal to someone else or if luai better let fainu go and be a 6 somewhere and earn bigger coin.
Sezer is our back up next year as 14 and then after next year TDS is our 14 until API retires and then he takes over
Munster was a fullback / centre , then a makeshift 6 .Lol
Cam murray makes like 50 tackles a game.
You think he wants or should do that with his talent? Listen to his interviews - “I want to play 6”.
He wanted to leave bc we bought too many halves ! He wasn’t thinking great I’ll move to 13.
He’s favorite player he models himself on is Munster - a 6.
We’ve basically got Munster in jack wightons body - and everyone wants to shift him lol.
Galvin is a better ball player than Sutton and yeo and Murray - and probably if we had him in the team against the dolphins we win he’s that good.
Playing in the middle of the ruck is a waste.
I get everyone wanting to fit everyone in the team but he’ll leave
Someone will offer him the chance to play 6 for $1m a year and he’ll go.
Lucky Richo and Benji aren’t as short sighted as people here
You are right.Luai is not a kicker. Not a sharp shooter. What his role is will be experience. Who will do our kicking in 2025? Who will direct us around the park? Sezer is a good start. We have some sort of navigation.
What all 85 kg's of Galvin??My only issue with Latu in the centres is that Faataape is the obvious one to be relegated.
2 tough outings against quality players at the Sharks & Parramatta. And Canberra- but we try to forget that game. In all those games it can be argued he held his own, and improved in each outing.
Then against the Dolphins- 2 tries. His defence alongside Staines is REMARKABLY IMPROVED over To'a & Nofa. I think we got a low cost, quality player.
As much as I want Latu in the squad, I don't think it's at Faataape's expense.
Moving Galvin seems unfair on Galvin, but he's better suited to shifting position that Fainu.
I'd still be looking at Galvin playing in Bateman's spot & having Bateman play #13, moving Pole to the bench.
Galvin could be the new Liam Fulton....or better yet, Gavin Miller. He's probably everything Josh Schuster SHOULD be.
Perhaps I should preface my comments with the words 'eventually', or 'in time'?What all 85 kg's of Galvin??
Sure we can break him at lock.
Fainu is 90kg and Bateman is 95....
Galvin is NO WHERE NEAR ready for a regular forward/lock/second rower and I don't think we want him to be that just yet. Sure the guy is tough, Physically he is no where near ready for a regular spot at the front. He has claimed 5/8 and with his current form I am happy to leave him there or let other players try and outplay him.
We do need to give our new players solid spots that they can train in. It's one problem we have in recruiting 4 halves at once.
Dude, you pasted me for saying Luai could fill 13 if we needed to fit Luai, Latu and Galvin into the same team and you come up with that?Great post. I’ll concede. I think he has to be at 6.
I’m just worried about Luai at 7 - and Sezer is an experienced 7 guiding us really well.
I still reckon an opportunity exists for Sezer to play 13 next year.
Galvin is number 1 priority.regardless of what we all think and believe and differ on … how good is it to have a gun junior again lol
Not since moses and teddy days!
Hopefully we just hold onto at least galvin.
I would be gutted if he left after 3 yrs.
He’s going to be better than teddy and moses IMHO lol. I know that’s a big statement but if he stays injury free I can’t see why not
Is he any good, is he a candidate for NRL in his lifetime?Yep, one of our NSW Cup props is Josh Finau.
People are dreaming if they think Galvin will extend his contract now if we offer him more money. Moses his agent knows he is sitting on a gold mine. Okay he probably will push for an upgrade of his current deal, but Moses knows he will be worth mega bucks on the open market when the time comes. Okay Galvin may be happy to stay by then, but the market place will determine what wehave to pay, and that will be plenty. As a act of goodwill it would be worth upgrading his current contract now
