I will say he tried hard tonight, but is he the answer? Eels at less than half strength beat them, now broncos as well, who are missing plenty. Does this show how well the dogs are really going?
Did eels dodge a bullet?

No, Galvin isn't the problem at the dogs, well he is part of it but he shouldn't be. He was not and is not ready to be the 7 for a team that was/is good enough to compete for the comp.
It was a bad decision on Galvin's part to take the dogs offer over the eels, I'm convinced he was talked into it by his former school boy coach who is at the dogs.
The eels was the perfect situation for Galvin, playing second fiddle to moses in a team with low to moderate expectations in regards to winning the comp in his first couple of years was the perfect scenario for Galvin to grow into the players he can be.
Galvin struggles to pass right or left while trying to strengthen the attack. He needs to turn his hips and top half to pass. It's why you see alot of his passes miss the mark.
The dogs problem is they have two left side 5/8's. Galvin would have been great for us, he is a natural 5/8 with a decent running and defence game.
Galvin is quality and would have complimented Moses beautifully. Bulldogs got greedy and trying to use him as a 7 is ridiculously dumb. I think Galvin screwed up not coming to us
Let's be honest the dogs spine is horrendous. They have 2 x 6's that they're trying to make work. They're also trying to manufacture a 9 in Hayward. Conner Tracy is a good footballer but is probably well down if you were to rate fullbacks. They have a great squad of players but are struggling to make it all fit together
No Galvin is good, the rest of the team apart from Kikau and Crichton are average
Galvin was a perfect fit (for us and him) it made absolute sense. The offer we made was the correct one $750k per season was the figure getting tossed around at the time. It should have been a match made in heaven. Ohh well we all make mistakes and he made one going to the dogs. We didn't dodge a bullet.
He could've come to Parra and roamed around and played what he saw while he played to his strengths and developed as a player ala what Blaize is doing at Penrith.
Im not sure of his reasons for choosing Dogs but they were 1st and we were last at the time which had to be a factor for a 19 year old kid. Hopefully the Dogs do the right thing and develop him to the player he can be rather than eat up all his confidence and spit him out . Ciraldo is all over the shop . Try's fo outthink every room .
