Lachlan Galvin showcased his talent in a stunning performance during the pre-season clash, standing out among a sea of quality youngsters.
While many players suffer from second-year syndrome, Galvin proved to be immune as he took control and led the Wests Tigers with authority in their 20-14 defeat to the Bulldogs.
With star halfback Jarome Luai sidelined for another week, Galvin took on the responsibility of guiding his team in the match.
Despite facing a Bulldogs defence that was as tough as ever, Galvin rose to the occasion and showed why he was a contender for the Dally M Rookie of the Year Award in 2024.
Galvin's performance in the first half, where he made 10 runs for 68 metres on the right edge, was nothing short of impressive.
He continually punished the Bulldogs whenever they tried to pressure him on the last tackle, showcasing his skill and determination.
In a defining moment, Galvin played a crucial role in setting up the Tigers' first try.
Evading the defensive line with a slick move, he created an overlap that allowed fullback Heath Mason to score.
Tigers fans have every reason to be excited about Galvin's development and the impact he can have on the team in the upcoming season.
