With it looking very likely that Lachlan Galvin will not be joining us who will be our 6 next year?
Here some options
-Bailey Hayward looked good replacing Burton and pathway blocked to start in the halves.
- Ronald Volkman
- Lorenzo Tailatana
-Lachlan Cokknias
- Jonah Pezent

That's a good depth chart, healthier than it's been in a long time.
Lorenzo is one of the most naturally gifted young players I have seen in many years. Light feet, great eyes up game awareness, explosive speed and can tackle. I reckon they may not go all in on 5/8 and spend elsewhere and give Lorenzo another year or two.
Yep he is the one. He should be given a chance in NSW Cup at the end of the year. Had a great first half this week in Jersey Flegg. He is so strong in contact as well in attack.
What now, Luai gets in Crichton 's ear bad mouthing Galvin, and Galvin is disliked even before he starts. Moses agitate for early release and Galvin is with us mid 2026 early 2027
I understand always trying to improve your team, but adding such an important position mid season to the top of the table team is a bit stupid. I would understand if it was an end of year signing but not now.
Unless the player was a proven winner at final or represent level changing the top of the table side does seem a bit dangerous and more likely to fail then improve the side.
I think stick to developing our own and poach a few guys here and there we have plenty coming through flegg and in reserve grade ATM I am not to upset about this we are on the right path
I'm all for giving opportunities to the youth we've already got, put some onus on the coaching staff to improve players (which Ryles is willing to do) rather than going to market every time we need a spot filled. At this point in time I'd rather we sit back and see who comes to us from the open market rather than actively pursuing anyone.
Bit like going to buy a new car when you're car break s down rather than trying to fix the one you have . Mindset of materialism in a disposable economy
I just think when it comes to recruitment we are trying too hard to make it happen thinking that if we use whatever incentives players will be convinced to come to the eels. Most players don't want to join us, we need to accept that and focus our attention on those who do. A good start is those who are already here or those who express interest in coming. Makes the negotiation process much easier.
Further to that, Gus said that Galvin's management approached him, not the other way around.
