Benji Marshall has turned to a teen prodigy and unknown centre as Josh Addo-Carr races the clock and Souths add another representative star to their casualty ward.
Benji Marshall has backed the Tigers next generation in his first major selection call, handing NRL debuts to prodigious 18-year-old playmaker Lachlan Galvin and unknown centre Solomone Faataape.
At 193cm, Galvin has impressed as one of the Tigers’ fittest players and a standout in a disappointing trial loss to the Dragons. Addo-Carr was cleared of what was feared to be a broken collarbone at one point last week and will push to play through the pain, though Connor Tracey has been named on the wing against his old Sharks side.
