Canterbury have rubbed salt into the strife-torn Wests Tigers<\/a>‘ wounds by signing Lachlan Galvin<\/a>‘s younger brother.<\/p>\n

“But he has ability and the boys will be happy to be playing for the same club again.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canterbury have rubbed salt into the strife-torn Wests Tigers‘ wounds by signing Lachlan Galvin‘s younger brother.
