Galvin

My take is that he is massively overrated at this point. He is the gun kid and feel good story and he may turn into a great player but he isn't there now.

He's 19 in his first year of FG, in a dud side, he has shone through in a lot of games, give him another season or two.

He has been very good but they are talking about him being the best player of all time.

Hopefully he becomes an immortal and he stays with us then.

He's by far and away our best attacking player. Early in the game last night he set up 2 tries that a veteran rep player would have been proud of. Especially the second one, where we passed short, then went back to the middle, and then went left again throwing a bullet pass cutting out 3 players to put Tupou in the corner.

For the last month he has been popping up on the right side. This hasn't been effective and you can see he's not comfortable with it, but at least he's trying to learn. Not sure if this is at the direction of the coaches, or something he's done himself.

His defence is poor at the moment. Hopefully over the next 2 years he'll bulk up a bit and that, and experience will help him improve. If Brooks can improve in defence then Galvin can. His kicking game needs a lot of work as well.

I'm not saying he's a future immortal, best young player ever, or any of that stuff. He certainly is showing he is already a good attacking player - our best by far, with the potential to be a star well into the future.

to me, it's essential we re-sign him long term.

If we can't do that, we might as well just admit we're a feeder club for SW Sydney juniors, for the rest of the comp and give up so we can all get on with something more useful in our lives.

I think Latu might be better but Galvin has been our best attacking player this season.
