Canterbury skipper Stephen Crichton has addressed concerns regarding his relationship with Lachlan Galvin, who is set to debut in the No.
6 jersey for the Bulldogs on Sunday.
Speculation about potential tensions arose after Galvin's arrival in Belmore, especially given the close ties some players have with Wests Tigers halfback Jarome Luai.
However, any doubts were quickly alleviated during Galvin's club debut, where he received an enthusiastic response from teammates after scoring a try in the win against Parramatta.
Crichton expressed disappointment over the rumors surrounding Galvin's transition from the Tigers, noting the unnecessary speculation about his acceptance within the Bulldogs.
With Matt Burton's selection for the NSW team simplifying the decision to include Galvin at five-eighth, the real challenge lies ahead for coach Cameron Ciraldo when his Origin players return in Round 17.
