Tigers have had significant player upgrades in their roster. Yet they still played exactly the same as the 2024 spoon winning side. Benji is the problem.
Plus Benji has taken away Luai's strength, his running game. Both he and Galvin are left side running 5/8's, now is the time for Parra to offer Galvin his preferred position.
There's a few people on here who've blown such massive loads over both Galvin and Luai that you would think that if you have them together in the halves they'd be next to unbeatable. One of the worst games I've seen in ages that game.
Luai did nothing and has a pop gun general play kick. He's obviously a great 6 but he isn't an organiser.
If Dylan Brown played the game Luai did yesterday against an absolutely shit house knights this place would go into meltdown

Don't we have a few people on here who obsessively blow a load over Dylan Brown?
DB is so far ahead of Galvin it's not funny. Galvin will have a tough year. 2nd year syndrome is a very real thing, teams will plan for Galvin's strengths/weaknesses. DB should be coming into his best years now. I think we have failed DBs development somewhat under our old regime and I don't think it was a conducive environment for DB to explore new plays/skills. I hope Ryles can unlock the best out of DB.
I don't mind Galvin he doesn't stand back and wait for the game to come to him he goes looking for it.I like that in a playmaker.
Thats my biggest thing about DB he's got to go looking for it or we force feed him and keep going left.I'm hoping with Ryles we have our halves on the ball more and playing to one another good things happen when Moses or Brown are constantly on the ball.
No doubt DB has been failed by the club and many pointed out way back when he came into first grade that under Brad lArthur his progress will be halted and it has been 1000% because he is nowhere near the player he should be at this stage of his career.
DB should of went to the dolphins and played under Bennett for a couple of years when he had the chance ,who a young player has as coach when they come into first grade is crucial to their development , Brad Arthur is the worst thing to happen to DB .
"The main thing I like about Joash is his character, can tell he wants to be at the club and wants to put his body on the line. If he can expand his game in attack over the offseason we have got something "
"Yes, but it is academic, I would not be comfortable paying 900k for Galvin, even if he is a better fit,=. our blokes copped out at 800.....and we were blessed, losing Brown the way we have is also a blessing and we were kissed on the "dick" missing…"
"But he won't want to do that, surely you can see that!
Michael W is absolutely right, Pezet is a 7 and not a running 5/8.
Burton (if he was gettable) is a perfect foil for Moses, don't forget we have expressed interest in Ponga as well?"

It stops when clubs call these players' and managers' bluffs. Don't like the offer? Too bad, so sad! See ya!
Looks like we may be starting to do just that with DB's contract.

Mutts we havent played yet. Could be a cricket score tomorrow
