I’m quite excited by Galvin’s physical attributes. He’s quite a bit taller than Bateman for example and whilst his upper body is still developing his waist and legs look strong. Putting some bulk on to his upper body and playing him at 13 is something that’s very viable for 2025 and he will still get his hands on the ball and can be a play maker, pushing Luai wider into his more traditional 6 role when required. Hopefully Latu shows the same promise and we will have quite an impressive spine of

Im excited about Galvin, he is a good player......and I dont want to be THAT guy......but.....
Anyone else think there is the potential for Galvin to be an 18yo Adam Doueihi? Big, not particularly fast, passing not elite....better kicking game than AD, passing game probably better (the first try was quality).
@tiger5150 Galvin and Doueihi’s names should not be put in the same sentence… Doueihi is an average NRLplayer at beast ,Galvin on the other hand showed more effort plays on Saturday thanDoueihi has since he has been at the club . On Galvin my mind was made up Re his position when he made that break his body size and speed was all No13.

Hiring Fulton is reason enough for the changes last year.

We're gonna be clearing up the mess left by the previous regime for another couple of years aren't we.
No surprise that we kept changing strategies every 5 mins when these two clowns had agents dictating everything to them.

I like this. Was thinking on Saturday that Galvin could really develop into Isaiah Yeo mkii given his size and skillset. Long way for him to go, but looks positive thus far.
Keen to see Fainu get a run as well - a real shame that he wasn't available for the trials.

Top 8 2023
based on that it looks like no Leichardt and maybe redeveloped CSS (no mention of that yet though).
I am thinking maybe Accor from 2026 ?
Good to see Richo me tinning no more Tamworth
Still listening.
Richo has
Confirmed last year at Tamworth
No decisions on home grounds yet - still more research to do
But yeah - pretty clear that there's no more LO in the future
Go wherever will best grow members and corporates
LO cant do that even if redeveloped
Even big club plays out of a top notch stadium
Women, families, corporates expect first class stadium
Said doesn't need to play out of CSS in order to support the South West
Sounded like there's some wheeling and dealing before a home ground is locked in
Given his statement on Souths playing Accor - and having strong support in South West
My guess is we move to Accor full time

I would hope it is Accor and CSS for some games if no LO
I do wonder if a new stadium in Liverpool shared by tigers and dogs might be an option down the track ?
Kind of think Gould and Richo along with Dogs and tigers could lobby some funding more than campbletown and the ground shared by two teams that border each other
Not particularly a fan but think it is more chance than potentially redeveloping CSS and or LO
Does anybody know if the players were briefed on the new direction of the club on Tuesday as reported by Richo? or has the report been put through the shredder by the New Chair and Deputy of the HBG!
@snake the strategic plan was presented to WT employees last Tuesday apparently
I'm glad that there haven't been any leaks. The system works.
I'm not overly concerned about Romero/Burgess getting back in the HBG big seats. The wind of change has already blown through WT towers at Concord - looking forward to the new independent board members being appointed in the next little while.
