Overview

  • Mid-season signing Lachlan Galvin has been named starting halfback for the Bulldogs in Round 20 against St George Illawarra, replacing Toby Sexton in the No.7 role.
  • Regular halfback Toby Sexton has been dropped from Canterbury’s top 17 and sent to NSW Cup after losing his spot, with his contract set to expire and a move to Super League’s Catalans Dragons confirmed.
  • Coach Cameron Ciraldo has given Galvin an extended run at halfback to cultivate a stable spine alongside Matt Burton over the next two months leading into finals.
  • Galvin arrived from the Wests Tigers one month ago and has since split time on the bench and at five-eighth, including a surprise omission in Round 19 before earning his first starting halfback call-up.
  • Utility Jaeman Salmon urged teammates to support Galvin as he partners Burton to refine their halves combination over the remainder of the season.
