Pretty much anything good that's happening for us in the TAC at the moment is Lachie Galvin.

Couldn't agree more.

And he's being targeted heavily by opposition team.

He's a real competitor and he's a great talent.

And where he finishes up in the long term, still to be determined.

He's still a young player.

People say, is he a halfback or not?

Well, I don't know any 20-year-olds that are a first grade halfback.

Nathan Cleary wasn't a game manager at 20 years of age and I had firsthand knowledge of him.

It takes them time to fall into that role and do the job.

So he's doing a big job in a struggling team and I think acquitting himself very, very well.

I don't think he's a long-term halfback.

I don't think we've ever had any intention of him being a long-term halfback.

But I'll tell you now, James, he's the best halfback we've got this week for this game.

It's as simple as that.

And he has been since he walked in the joint.

And he earned that spot on his merits.

It wasn't given to him.

There was no one saying he's got to go in to play that position.

He earned that spot on his merits.
