I'm not a huge fan of Galvin primarily because I think he has big ego and because who his manager is , having your halves both managed by Isaac Moses is a recipe for future disaster and we simply don't have the management who could handle Isaac if he decided to pull one of his tricks .
The other thing is that it is unlikely that Galvin will be available until 2027 . Longi has all the skills and ability to be a outstanding 6 which then leaves a vacancy at fullback , I would do whatever it takes to get Selwyn Cobbo as it's a safer bet paying big dollars for Cobbo than it is for Galvin .

Not sold on cobbo at fullback, the bigger bodied fullback is 5-10 years ago. The smaller fullbacks in the faster flowing game is the way to go so I wouldn't be a fan of this move.
Someone like Dylan Edwards a metre eater is what we need
We have that with Iongi who is only going to get bigger and stronger. He is currently averaging 170 metres per game with two games over 200 metres. Not sure what else you are looking for?
A metre eater, 170 metres is shit! Carty makes that off the bench.. The good fullbacks push 280-300.
Must be no good fullbacks in the game than since no player averages that this year.
Really? As Jye Gray has the best average being 198 metres. Iongi ranks 25th for average in the NRL with a few of those 25 playing less than 2 games so the average can be way higher.
Bob you will be someone who we would sign Cam Smith in his prime and have an issue with it. Or have a player score 25 tries in a season but say Johnston scored 30 so therefore it is rubbish in comparison.
You do realise Iongi is only 8 games into his career right? Someone like Tedesco didn't average more than 170 metres in a season until his first year at Sydney City and that was 100 games into his career. Iongi, at this stage, is up to 170 metres in an average team.
As for Cartwright, he has only averaged 100+ meters in 11 NRL seasons. Averaging 54 metres in Cup right now when he should dominate with his experience.
So either you have no idea or just have very high standards or both.
What are you still doing here Bob, aren't you supposed to be looking for that Smith chick at the netball.
True BUT everytime I see him go around the more I think his a 5/8 - good news is Ryles has options
How? The kid has never played 6 other than Tonga U18's. Pretty much every good Fullback has skills that can translate to 6, Tedesco looks like it, Pap has those elements too. If you have a good pass on you and can run those are skills needed for a 6. But doesn't mean it is best for them to go to 6.
Hasn't Papalii been playing 5/8 in NSW cup? We might not need to look for one if he's being transitionied into the halves, leaves more $$ to find the game breaker we need
