Lachlan Galvin

Benji Marshall has taken a chance on 18-year-old Lachlan Galvin

It's the kind of thing new coaches say to show they mean business. It makes for good copy during the long summer as we scratch around for any rugby league news that's fit to print.

But for Marshall it wasn't just words. He's really doing it, starting with 18-year old Lachlan Galvin being named at five-eighth for the Tigers in their season opener against Canberra this weekend.
