Galvin has some ability, far from being the finished product and I wouldn’t be throwing a mega contract his way. Good luck to the team who lands him.

Galvin's vision and creativity is 11/10. His execution is around 6-7/10. Does some ridiculous things but regularly fails pretty spectacularly as well. I feel like we've got a similar player in Blaize.

I'd prefer we strengthened elsewhere

Edit: Worth noting there was legitimate interest in him coming here last year, prior to the Tigers shutting it down. That was pre Blaize signing though.

Comes with age, the execution will come. Should really have a go for him, he is just one of those players and he'll end up playing for state and country.

dont need Galvin - gotta give Talagi time to develop here

Toelau is another option we have if Talagi doesnt work out

Attack needs addressing but our defence is awful atm - if we are looking to strengthen our squad - defence is what we should be focusing on

If Galvin goes to the Dogs that would do me. Should have given Gus a 10 year shut up contract to be a back room stuff.

Gould has been over the top with praise recently.A future premiership winning half bullshit. It wouldn't surprise me if he went there.

A leak by his manager seems to indicate he wants a good coach.That rules Parra out. Should rule Seibold out but he is a Moses client.

Talagi should be our long-term project. We need to strengthen elsewhere.

So he doesn't rate Benji I guess.

I wonder if we might be more in the running for this than we'd expect.

Swap Galvin for Tago? Tago gets his May connection back. We get several hundred k off our cap. Galvin gets his good coach and cements a move to a club he wanted to come to previously, play next to the GOAT(s) etc.

Although he is a talent, it would be a little silly chasing Galvin. Particularly when we have Talagi on the books. More than likely on half Galvin's up coming contract.

Galvin’s testing the market for the big dollars and he will get them.

Some club out there will gamble 7 figures.

It won’t be us though, massive gamble and we will not go there.

The clubs will be queuing up I’m sure but I honestly don’t think we will be one of them.
