Congratulations and good luck on your debut, Latu🎉

Happy to see him get this opportunity and I hope he kills it! Wishing him all the best 🙏🏉🐯

You can tell their brothers.

There is no reason in the world Galvin would entertain the offer even if it was true.

He’s 18 and the starting 5/8 at the club with no indication of him being moved or dropped.

If the noise was re Latu wanting to leave, it would be somewhat believable, albeit still a stretch given his age and the fact he is here with his brothers/hasn’t debuted yet.

The club (Benji, Richardson etc) are well and truly aware of the talent we have in the halves and it doesn’t take more than common sense to figure out the fact they would have had conversations with the talent to let them know what their position in the club moving forward is.

I.e club may have spoken to them and told them they are both viewed as halves and Fainu will takeover from Luai in due course or Galvin to bulk up to move to lock.

Who knows and who cares, don’t feed the media the bs attention they are seeking

Wait till Latu carves it up today and over the next couple of weeks, there will be the same rubbish even though he’s only just started a 4 year contract.

Oh I’m not doubting what you heard. Just saying good luck to them, he’s contracted

Thanks true every club has target's they want and Galvin would be a long term contract for the Dragons with Hunt's age

Doesn't mean they will get him he is just on there wish list like Manu was along with Tedesco the half from North Queensland and Blake from NZ

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Sounds like has a hamstring issue based on Benji in the press conference.

Any update on Latu ?

Thoughts on his game last night ?

I was at the game and it looked like he didn't real get a chance to show his skills but do believe he is a better 6 than Sullivan.

The club needs to take a long-term approach to get Latu's hamstring issue sorted. Even if it means seeking hamstring specialists & a few months rehab until he can fully load it & sprint at 100%.

From today's DT (Brent Read):

Fainu, in particular, is a major concern for the Tigers given he has endured ongoing issues with his hamstring. The Tigers delayed his start to the season as he struggled with injury in the preseason but it is understood he has suffered a recurrence of the problem, leaving his immediate future in doubt.

He did not look ok in the short time he was on. Didn’t run at all, just catch n pass. Made a lot of tackles in his short stint as runners targeted him and did a good job.

 

[weststigerman]

I don't know why he was rushed back in a week after doing his hamstring, and even when he debuted he was still on a "minutes restriction".

Get him right and use the fit players we have. Unfortunately that means Sullivan for a few weeks.

 

[Eca]

Read somewhere he's ruled out for the weekend and Galvin also picked up a hand injury

Off to the USA? to see Turbo's Guru to get those hammys fixed

Geez we'll struggle to field a team this week. Any more talk about us having too many halves?

 

[Telltails]

The injuries are starting to mount. Toa injured in his first run back.

It certainly worked a treat for Latrine, really sorted out his attitude problem.

Nader to be half is what I’m hearing from my minions.

Just read this below:

 

[weststigerman]

The rate we're going with our halves, Doueihi will be straight back into the starting side when he returns.

Thats 'cause he also visited every fast food joint in LA

James Hooper where are you....you bald headed fart

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I don't know why we rushed this kid back, he was clearly struggling with being 100% fit imo it's only doing him more harm than good. Hammy's can become chronic as we've all seen with a few other players.

 

[jrtiger]

season's practically over for us, let the kid work to strengthen his hammys and to get them to 100% and then just ease him in via Cup and allow him to build confidence in his body and his ability.
