Overview

  • Galvin joined Canterbury on a four-year contract worth over $2.5 million after Wests Tigers accepted a $165,000 transfer fee.
  • He said he drove the move himself and dismissed reports of discord with coach Benji Marshall or teammate Jarome Luai.
  • Coach Cameron Ciraldo and assistant Luke Vella spearheaded the recruitment and are weighing whether to start him from the bench or in reserve grade.
  • Toby Sexton is expected to remain as the first-choice No.7 through the season as Galvin is eased into first grade.
  • Former NSW coach Brad Fittler has praised Galvin’s playmaking upside and suggested he could transform Canterbury’s attack.
