I would like to debate this.......................................................................................YOU WIN!We have arguably the worlds biggest pool of juniors, But we have the shittest talent scouts in the NRL . Havnt found a worthwhile talent that has gone on to any great heights since probably Robbie Farah or Chris Lawrence, its pathetic!
Can he be offered a contract while he’s already under contract with us?Yep ok...all good points. If he continues to improve under Bennett and holds his first grade spot then it seems logical that he'd be offered a contract at souths ( to stay)
What do you mean?I would like to debate this.......................................................................................YOU WIN!
No idea, talk to the originator.What do you mean?
They identifed Brooks.
They got us to lock down Ryan Hoffman, Josh Addo Carr, Ryan Papenhayzen to long term contracts.

I just think if Galvin goes, we will need a reasonable back up.Good point...but assuming permission is given which it probably would without hesitation. I think he takes up a good chunk of our cap (?) if he returns
Surely he won't get that at Souths so we'll probably have to pitch in.....business as usual.I just think if Galvin goes, we will need a reasonable back up.
But yes, he is on good coin, $600k a year from memory.
Yep and we will still a backup, halves aren't cheap.Surely he won't get that at Souths so we'll probably have to pitch in.....business as usual.
We'll end up with Luai and AD with Fainu slotting in.Yep and we will still a backup, halves aren't cheap.
In fact the cheapest option I can see, is to keep Galvin here to fulfil his contract in the reserves.
We have some kids who look promising I believe, but imo, probably not ready yet.
I'm thinking the other way, Luai and Fainu, with a back up.We'll end up with Luai and AD with Fainu slotting in.
We'll have the same issue. Luai, Fainu and May are all the same type of players, you just have to read the body language Tm. AD adds a different dimension.I'm thinking the other way, Luai and Fainu, with a back up.
TBH, I've been surprised how well AD is travelling ATM.
We'll agree to disagree then.We'll have the same issue. Luai, Fainu and May are all the same type of players, you just have to read the body language Tm. AD adds a different dimension.
How can we disagree when we know jack shite. I don't disagree with opinions because that's just what they are.We'll agree to disagree then.
MasonWe'll end up with Luai and AD with Fainu slotting in.
Yep true, forgot about Mason. But he's a half too. Mason was a half in pathways before we threw him at fullback.Mason
It can't hurt but he has been injured hey which was untimely. Fainu has to come into the side.This is why we need to get Latu into 5/8 for the rest of this season and piss Galvin off to reggies. So many unanswered questions. We're paying Latu good coin and he's come to us very highly rated.
From the limited amount I've seen of him so far he's got a good running game, especially close to the line. Luai likes him, which probably shows that he listens to advice.
10 games with Latu in the team (fingers crossed) and we'll have a good idea of his skillset and if he can be first grade quality, or more.
