The other point still stands...they are running 1st the Bulldogs.

Are they totally sure they want Galvin straight into the spine? He is a talented player but green. It's a gamble.

Hopefully it derails them, what does Crichton think (being good mates with Luai)??

Not as though Gus doesn't have form with doing what he wants and dealing with the consequences later. We ended up paying multiple players to leave the club.

I'd be surprised if they haven't consulted their captain on this.

Will be good to watch how it all ungolds from the sidelines. Best case scenario he makes them a better attacking outfit. Worst case could be a number of things.

I think he can sense a premiership is available this year. It's not the strongest comp that's for sure.

The Dogs spine just isn't scary enough. But that's all big pressure for a guy as young as Galvin.

The teenage son of Parramatta legend Nathan Hindmarsh has been snapped up by arch rivals the Penrith Panthers, beating the Eels to the punch.
Buster Hindmarsh, 17, is a rangy second-rower — much leaner than his dad — who has signed for two years with the Panthers.
“Penrith gave us an invitation to go and check out their facilities and they were really impressive,” Nathan said.
“The Bulldogs did the same thing. The Dogs were very close, too. They’ve got a great set up.
“He was keen on the Bears too, where he played SG Ball this year, but we decided the Panthers were the best option at this stage of his career.
“They’ve got such a great record bringing kids through and looking after them so professionally.”

It will be upsetting for Eels fans in that Nathan Hindmarsh is such a club legend.
The family has a rich history at Parramatta where Nathan played 330 NRL games for the club and his brother Ian played 164 matches.
“It was a bit weird when he came home the other day in the full Penrith kit,” Hindmarsh said.
“But we’ll get used to it.

“He loves the game and he’s very happy to get the opportunity with the Panthers.
“This is just the start. He knows he’s still got a lot of hard work ahead if he’s to play NRL.”
Penrith CEO Matt Cameron has high hopes for the youngster.
“He’s a beautiful young kid,” Cameron said.
“Our pathways manager Lee Hopkins has been tracking him for a little while.
“We’re really pleased he’s chosen to come here.
“We’ll get him into the building and get him started and see how he goes.”
