Wests Tigers vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview
Lachlan Galvin will face his former club for the first time when the Bulldogs host the Tigers at CommBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The 20-year-old playmaker has been pivotal in Canterbury’s late-season charge since taking over at halfback, steering them to consecutive wins—including last week’s commanding 44-12 dismantling of Manly.
The Tigers, meanwhile, remain mired in a tough stretch after being brushed aside 36-2 by Penrith in Round 21. They do regain some spark, with star fullback Jahream Bula returning from a month-long absence and Samuela Fainu bolstering the back row.
For the Bulldogs, Connor Tracey’s injury sees Jacob Kiraz shift to fullback, while exciting teenager Jethro Rinakama slots back onto the wing as he hunts a third try in as many outings.
With Canterbury’s finals hopes alive and Galvin eager to make a statement against his old side, this contest promises plenty of intensity and emotion.
