I don't doubt he has the skills and is better than his last few performances, I truly hope he comes out and smashes it against the eels and I get the feeling with Api and Bula back we may just click. However, you cannot escape the fact he has had a few bad games in a row, we cannot just ignore that in one of our key playmakers.Has been very ordinary since the end of last season.
He's literally played one competitive game. Let's cool our heads on this stuff a bit....
I agree; however, there have been three (generally) sub-par performances against low-quality opposition. Then it happened again against the Knights.
The trials were fine - he looked sharp in the Eels game in particular.
The PM xiii game is irrelevant
There's a lot of confirmation bias with this imo. Even the nonsense about him liking a comment is overblown.
Let's give this new spine some time to develop before we start with the hot takes, there's enough of them in the NRL media.
@dirty-reds, Totally agree. The heat should be on the coaching set-up if things don't improve as anticipated (and hoped) this year. It's way too early to single out one player, particularly a kid like Galvin who's still growing into his body and learning about being a potential headline for media hacks like Chammas etc.
He’s 19, still a teenager. He is still developing.Has been very ordinary since the end of last season.

Klemmer has left the building.
That gives us 2 roster spots and 💰 to spend on a centre 🤣

I’m happy to see him go, but I think the feeling is now we’re a bit light on up front.
We need May and one more forward asap imo.

They will write books one day around how the Tigers fumbled Matamua’s development. A giant ball playing forward in a position we have no depth, captain of the junior rep sides, local. Spent years floating around the edge of a first grade squad that was atrocious rather than developing him in lower grades.

Talent identification and development - where we have been behind the game for a decade. Hopefully things are improving in the development space…though I can’t identify any real signs of that being the case.
