The clunky offensive efforts might resurface against the Tigers on Sunday, particularly where Galvin is concerned, given the spotlight and pressure on him against the club he walked out on. The man of the moment was a teenager just two weeks ago. But before the Bulldogs rattled up seven tries on the Sea Eagles at Allianz Stadium, they absorbed a physical assault from Matt Lodge, Jazz Tevaga and company. It wasn’t quite Penrith-esque, but Manly hit hard and often. And the Bulldogs responded with offloads and second-phase play, just as the few teams who troubled the Panthers during Ciraldo’s time did. Canterbury’s 10 first-half offloads and a near-perfect first-half (their first mistake didn’t come until the 36th minute) took the sting out of Manly as Matt Burton ran straight and often and Galvin played a deft hand.
