Galvin’s mother, Tracey, won’t attend the match, concerned about the reception her son will get from fans when he runs out against the Sharks. Several of his teammates conceded the club’s long-suffering supporters could vent their frustrations at his decision to leave at the end of 2026. Marshall hoped the reception would be a warm one.

“It’s quite hectic for him, but he handled it really well, went back to reserve grade last week, put in a really good performance, tried really hard, had a really good attitude.
“We want him to do that for us [on Sunday].”

“Last week, with all the distractions and the ups and downs of what happened, everyone can just chill now and just play.”
Pressed on the decision to recall Galvin after one game, Marshall replied: “Why would I care what people say?”
