Lachie Galvin's signing prompts Reed Mahoney's exit to North Queensland, following Toby Sexton's move to Catalans.
Lachie Galvin's signing continues to have repercussions at the Canterbury Bulldogs, with hooker Reed Mahoney set to follow halfback Toby Sexton out the door at the end of the season. Confirmation of Sexton's exit came on Thursday night when the Catalans Dragons announced he would be joining the English Super League club from 2026 to replace Roosters and Rabbitohs premiership hero, Luke Keary.
And following Canterbury's dramatic second half collapse against the Broncos on Friday, it's since emerged that off-contract Bulldogs hooker Mahoney will also depart the club at the end of the current season. According to reports from Code Sports, Mahoney has signed a three-year deal with North Queensland from the 2026 season, continuing the shake-up at the Bulldogs after Galvin's recruitment.
Mahoney's move to the Cowboys next season will see him replace Blues Origin hooker Reece Robson, who signed a four-year deal with the Roosters from 2026. And it paves the way for versatile forward Bailey Hayward to stamp his claim as the Bulldogs' long-term No.9.
