I’d put him in the same basket as Talagi. Would have a great highlights real after this year, but made a lot of defensive mistakes and takes the wrong option with the ball a lot as well.
Don’t forget the bravery he showed to continue playing with a broken neck after your captain crippled him. And to then follow up with the pickpocket try, *and* to stand up to that cat Klemmer after he tried to pick on one of the littlest blokes on the field. An inspiration for us all.
He might end up better than Brown, who is a great player. He will never have Moses' kicking game but he is certainly bigger and stronger.
Moses is a smarter defender, which is important at the third in position. But Galvin can definitely tackle.
And don’t forget the bravery of Hip Drop Galvin, who will see the Rookie of the Year Award be handed to someone else due to his foul play!
We just wanted it more

Illiterate too!
Btw I think most of us older heads agree that’s a penalty (or in the not so distant past, a good tackle). I watched it in a pub tonight with four other older heads who said unanimously that’s probably the end of his night.
Could it be maybe when he was in Parra as a 12 year old or whatever that possibly he wasn’t that good?
What I was told, he was still growing and they selected him in the development squad rather than the Matt’s team and told him that he needed a bit more time to develop physically and wanted to keep him.The rest is history as he wanted to play reps and His manager and Tigers did a deal which is not unusual given even then the number of players to choose from in selecting reps.
I actually think that this makes sense. Galvin is a weird shape and always has been through juniors. Even now, at the start of this season I looked at him and thought he would get snapped in first grade and would need a couple of years of building up and when he does he is probably a 2RF which is where he played for U18 SoO and (I think) Aus Schoolboys (with Sanders & Latu Fainu in halves).
