Bulldogs halfback Lachlan Galvin is expected to have a target on his back when he goes up against his former club, the Wests Tigers, for the first time. <\/p>\n

Galvin joined the Bulldogs in a messy mid-season switch at the end of May, and is settling in nicely at Canterbury, who are in second spot on the ladder after a three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

But according to former Balmain Tigers hooker Benny Elias, Galvin would be in the firing line if he was playing against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he did that to your Tigers team, what would have happened to him when you\u2019re playing him this week?\u201d NRL 360 co-host Gorden Tallis asked Elias, who was on the panel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d gang up on him and absolutely give him it,\u201d Elias said.<\/p>\n

Host Braith Anasta was in no doubt the Tigers would be giving Galvin some extra attention at CommBank Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to over hype it and dramatise it but if you put ourselves in (captain) Jarome (Luai) and the Tigers\u2019 shoes,\u201d Anasta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the guy who walked out, and the circumstances in which he did, he\u2019s got a target, he\u2019s got a target on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tallis said coach Benji Marshall won\u2019t even need to mention it to his players.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey won\u2019t have to say a word,\u201d Tallis said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBenji won\u2019t even have to say it. There\u2019s some things in the dressing room, that you won\u2019t have to, with the posts and all that kind of stuff, the players will know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panellist James Hooper agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou tell me, if you were playing against him on Sunday at CommBank Stadium, surely they go after him,\u201d Hooper added.<\/p>\n

Luai not concerned with ‘Galvin Cup’ | 01:31<\/p>\n

Former Queensland prop Ben Ross said Tigers players would be \u201cpicking on\u201d Galvin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players won\u2019t say it. Galvin leaving the Tigers definitely hurts them and this weekend they want to prove a point that, yes, they\u2019re not missing him,\u201d Ross told NRL Tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just gone on in leaps and bounds once he\u2019s got to the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just won\u2019t be about skill, it\u2019ll be a battle of toughness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know they\u2019ll be picking on him this weekend and making sure that he\u2019s felt that he left the wrong club.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulldogs halfback Lachlan Galvin is expected to have a target on his back when he goes up against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,689,30192,9421,30190,30195,7622,12729,2105,30193,13218,9417,4617,30089,30196,761,762,673,158,677,30191,4598,85,670,30194,4515],"class_list":["post-32433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-ben-ross","tag-benji-marshall","tag-benny-elias","tag-cameron-spencer","tag-canterbury-bulldogs","tag-daniel-ramus","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gorden-tallis","tag-host-braith-anasta","tag-james-hooper","tag-lachlan-galvin","tag-loses-hope","tag-messy-mid-season-switch","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-new-south-wales","tag-nrl","tag-oceania","tag-panellist-james-hooper","tag-penrith-panthers","tag-sports","tag-sydney","tag-three-game-winning-streak","tag-wests-tigers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
