You realise that Galvin played Harold Matts for Parra? 3 years later he plays a full season of NRL as a 5/8, would be rookie of the year. Hardly a late bloomer.
No he played Harold Matts for Wests: https://18thman.com/players/lachlan-galvin/

Played every game in the second roe except for one in the halves: https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/?competition=143&season=2022&team=500244

Whichever club he played for in 2021 it wasn't in Harold Matts: https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/?competition=143&season=2021

He honestly can’t believe half the shir he posts. It’s all to get a reaction.
Just sharing the facts mate. Even his own club (which wasn't Parramatta) didn't rate him as a half in Harold Matts.

In SG Ball he played at 6. We actually beat him on our way to winning the comp: https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/sg-ball-cup/2023/finals-week-1/game-1/

Good on him for finally realising his potential, but before last year he was just a tall skinny unco stuck in the forwards.

he was in the Parra Harold Matts Squad. Thats the whole point. He couldnt get a game. A year later he is a massive part of the the undefeated harold Matts Wests team, 2 years later he is playing pretty much the whole season at 6 in NRL.

But yeah, late bloomer...

Still got the 3peat with a decent side on paper.
Hope arguing with Pou is helping keep your mind of that fact.
Im sure he is glad to be of service.

We were also offered Reece Robson, Sam Verills and Egan…….MON still has a job btw
f**k you merkins make shit up. Robson was contracted to the Cowboys until the end of 2023: https://www.cowboys.com.au/news/2019/08/12/cowboys-sign-junior-kangaroo/

Verrills was contracted to the Roosters until the end of 2024: https://www.roosters.com.au/news/2020/12/17/sam-verrills-and-sitili-tupouniua-extend-with-roosters/

Yes he probably would've been available when we signed Hodgson (at the end of 2021) but that's because the Roosters wanted to cut their losses. Verrills had played fewer games than Hodgson in the preceding two years with his own ACL and detached retina.

Egan would've been good in hindsight but in 2021, when we signed Hodgson, he was going better than Egan. And offered much more experience.

Decent side on paper? Its clearly the worst squad in the NRL. On top of that we debuted 12 players this year. Last night 3/4 of our spine were 19 years old and we had 5 players in the team that are 19yo and two others 20yo. Yeah shocked that that team isnt setting the world on fire.

Just helping him out with his cope for letting Galvin go.

Because he wasn't good enough.
A year later he is a massive part of the the undefeated harold Matts Wests team,
And also not good enough for the halves.
2 years later he is playing pretty much the whole season at 6 in NRL.

But yeah, late bloomer...
Wasn't ready to play in the halves until he was old enough to drink ffs. That's why he throws so many forward passes and can't kick long.

Ours was way worse on paper and we lost 3 more by games end.
Galvin will be at the Chooks or the dogs by next contract. Gus is already sniffing about.
Cope on!
