Here’s the latest on the Canterbury‑Bankstown Bulldogs:
The buzz centers on breakout halfback **Lachlan Galvin**, who has officially returned to the Bulldogs from the Wests Tigers. At 19, Galvin has signed a long-term deal running through 2028—rumored to be worth about \$750,000 per year—after turning down a significantly bigger offer from the Tigers ([news.com.au][1]). He made his debut for Canterbury in round 14 and has already sparked lineup adjustments, with Toby Sexton and Reed Mahoney granted permission to explore moves amid Galvin taking the coveted No. 7 jersey ([news.com.au][2]).
The early transfer drew a transfer fee—roughly \$165–175k—and included a non-disparagement clause. It’s been a turbulent few weeks, with tension at the Tigers and spotlighted training leaks before the official signing ([news.com.au][1]).
While Galvin is back—just as the breaking headline suggested—it’s not a veteran from the past returning, but a young star making waves. His arrival has already reshaped the Bulldogs’ halfback structure, marking a bold step toward their future premiership ambitions.
