Bunnies Boasting Big Depth
Peter Roy - NRLnews.com - 16/3/07
NRLnews.com spoke exclusively with Souths forward Joe Galuvao earlier this week about the feeling at South Sydney and his thoughts for 2007.
Galuvao spoke of solid training sessions and hard work; which must have the Souths faithful excited about their prospects this year. With a strong work ethic and impressive early trial form, such is the depth this year at South Sydney that New Zealand international Galuvao can't be squeezed into the lineup for the match against the Roosters.
We are talking about a guy that hits it up like a runaway train. This is an ominous warning for rival NRL clubs, that not only do Souths have the quality and facilities to compete, they have depth that runs deep - with the trend in recent years proving depth is a vital component to winning the NRL title.
Unlike many players, when NRLnews.com spoke with Galuvao he was not put off by missing the round 1 clash. Joe was more excited to talk about the new direction at South Sydney, and the prospect of the club starting with a clean slate in 2007.
Galuvao said that Souths have the luxury of several players competing for spots in many positions and he has never seen such high motivation levels before. "We think we can give it a real shake this season" Galuvao commented. Joe also touched on the new signings for 2007 and said players have bonded well during the pre-season - which is critical with such a large influx of new talent into the foundation club.
The softly spoken and well mannered Galuvao was a pleasure to interview, and NRLnews.com thanks him kindly for his time.
The team at NRLnews.com look forward to seeing the Redfern express carving them up in 2007.
