It may well have been the move that has defined the entire NRL season, but one legend of the game doesn't believe that the Lachlan Galvin signing has been a positive for the Bulldogs.
The premiership contenders are on somewhat of a skid of late, losing three of their last four games as they attempt to hold on to their spot in top four, with a large part of their struggles coming down to chemistry.
With just two games remaining in the regular season, a former NRL star believes that Galvin's stint with the team has not live up to the hype.
NRL legend slams Lachlan Galvin's Bulldogs move
Braith Anasta has called out the Bulldogs Lachlan Galvin signing, saying that he doesn't believe it has worked out.
The team's season seemed to take a turn once the youngster arrived, with Anasta saying that he believes they were a better unit before he joined.
"I don’t think it’s been a success, if you’re asking me that," Anasta said on Monday's NRL 360.
"If you’re asking me, has it been a success? They got him there when they were coming first, and they got him there to evolve their attack to make sure it was better and more effective and more potent for semi-final football.
"And I haven’t seen that. He’s got time to turn it into a success and to change that before the finals and into the finals.
"But if you’re just going to go off his last three weeks, or even his last 10 weeks, you’ve got to remember they were coming first, they’ve only won 50 per cent of their games, his stats aren’t that good."
The Bulldogs have won just half of the ten games Galvin has appeared in, with the team needing to tighten up if they wish to make a run at the premiership.
