Shock Selection Twist: Galvin Benched as Ciraldo Backs Sexton for Crucial Round 14 Showdown
Lachlan Galvin is set to return via the bench in Round 14 for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, with coach Cameron Ciraldo opting to retain Toby Sexton in the starting halves. The decision has sparked debate among fans and pundits alike—should Galvin be thrust straight into the starting lineup, or is a bench impact role the right move at this stage?
Sexton has shown steady form in recent weeks, adding structure and composure to the Bulldogs’ spine. However, Galvin’s dynamic style and ability to break open a game present an enticing option as the team looks to push higher up the ladder. Ciraldo now faces a delicate balancing act: reward Sexton’s consistency or unleash Galvin’s spark from the outset.
The Round 14 clash looms large, with the Bulldogs set to face a tough opponent in a must-win fixture. A reshuffle in the halves could prove pivotal—either energizing the attack or disrupting cohesion. With finals aspirations still alive, every selection choice carries weight. Whether it’s Sexton, Galvin, or a new playmaking duo altogether, Ciraldo’s call this week could shape the Bulldogs’ momentum heading into the business end of the season.
