Actually Id go for Matt Burton if that is possible. Gonna be very hard to get those two outta Melbourne esp when it comes to our recruiting efforts.

If we chased Burton I'd have him at centre. He's a big body out wide but can also drift in around the ruck as another 5/8 option, one each side of the ruck. He looked more dangerous in the centres last night than he has at 5/8 recently
We were prepared to offer Galvin similar. Whilst I totally agree with your assessment of a million bucks being huge overs , unfortunately I think it's what our shit recruitment team need to offer to entice anyone half decent to consider us.

You need to consider his value over what we currently have. In that respect it would have to be a hard NO.

Yes, that would be a good outcome for us. We dodged a massive bullet when we missed out on Galvin. He's an over-hyped nuffy with poor composure, questionable defence and a massive ego. He might make a reasonable lock-forward one day but I wouldn't wait around for that at his price point.

Galvin was obviously overhyped and is now struggling, it is kind of cruel what they did to him, but I am still convinced he would/could have made a decent 6 if he played outside a decent genuine 7. Something he has never had the opportunity to do. No organising, think run first, back himself, just (try to) make his tackles. So basically the scenario that Talagi finds himself in.

"To early to say if Galvin made the right or wrong decision.
It doesn't look good now but down the track who knows.
Where he's playing now I think in 4-5 years time he'll be a 13 he's still got plenty of physical and mental maturity to add before…"

Pezet wants a million dollars. I am glad people on here aren't in charge of our recruitment. LMAO

Maybe Loan, but I don't think he fits into the number 6 position:

To think tigers offered him 1.2 million as well 😂
