Fans lose their minds as footy's most controversial star Lachlan Galvin rocks the NRL's worst haircut - and gets compared to a Hollywood icon
Christmas has come early for the Canterbury Bulldogs, with blue-chip signing Lachlan Galvin putting pen to paper - before being compared to a very famous comedy icon from the 1990s. The worst-kept secret in rugby league became official on Friday, with Lachlan Galvin becoming the latest signing for the big-spending Doggies. The side announced Galvin's signing on Friday after the Tigers officially released the want-away five-eighth earlier in the day to end a saga that spawned six weeks of headlines. 'We wish Lachlan all the best with another NRL club,' Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson said in a statement. Galvin has signed a contract with the Bulldogs until the end of 2028 and could be in line to make his Canterbury debut in their King's Birthday clash with Parramatta. But footy fans reacted to the big news by voicing their disbelief over the haircut Galvin was rocking on Friday, which many said made him a dead ringer for the character Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. There were comments galore on social media comparing Galvin to the comedy icon and his role in Dumb and Dumber For those who are too young or need a reminder, Dumb and Dumber is a 1994 comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as two well-meaning but clueless friends. Lloyd Christmas, played by Carrey, is a dimwitted limo driver with big dreams and zero common sense. He sets the plot in motion by falling for a woman who leaves her suitcase at the airport, sparking a cross-country trip to return it. Lloyd is instantly recognisable thanks to his bowl-cut hairstyle, which became iconic in 1990s pop culture. The blunt fringe and uneven cut suited his clueless personality and exaggerated the film's absurd tone. Lloyd's haircut became a symbol of the film's over-the-top silliness. Even decades later, it remains one of comedy's most memorable looks. And now fans are delighting in the fact that Galvin is rocking it for a new generation. 'Doggies have signed Lloyd also,' one posted. 'Some real Lloyd Christmas energy here,' pointed out another. Social media is full of Dumb and Dumber references for Galvin, with another fan adding: 'G'day mate, let's throw another shrimp on the barbie', referencing one of the character's famous lines. 'So you're saying there's a chance?' another follower posted on social media, referencing the iconic 90s comedy. 'Has Lloyd Christmas met Gus yet?' asked another, in a pointed dig at Bulldogs boss Phil Gould. 'You look like the guy from Dumb and Dumber. And so you should for how you treated Wests,' a disgruntled Tigers fan added. The Jim Carrey reference flew over the heads of many fans, though, with Galvin also compared to Robin Hood character Friar Tuck, and Australian boxer Harry Garside. Regardless of the pop culture reference, fans were lining up to slam the hair style. 'The NRL needs to step in and suspend him for 12 weeks for that haircut. Duty of hair,' one fan posted. 'Good on the kid. He can now afford to go to a barber and not do his own haircuts,' another said. 'That haircut was a parting ways gift from the Tigers,' another quipped. Despite being controversially snapped training with the Bulldogs before the release was given from the Tigers, Galvin said he 'couldn't wait to meet all the boys' at Belmore. 'Watching and seeing the path that the Bulldogs are on at the moment and how they're going week in, week out, I think has really drawn me to the club,' he said. 'Getting in here now, it's really exciting and obviously meeting Ciro [coach Cameron Ciraldo] and all the assistants is pretty cool.

Footy great James Maloney's 14-year-old son gives his parents another massive scare after setting off police hunt when he went missing
The teenage son of rugby league great James Moloney gave his parents a heart-stopping scare over the weekend when he had to be hospitalised after being on the end of a heavy tackle during a local footy match. On Sunday, Kade Moloney's mother, Jess, took to social media to share the concerning news about her 14-year-old. 'Well today took a nasty unexpected turn,' she began. 'Kade got tackled head first into the ground and had some tingling in his legs and arms and was pretty dazed. 'Everyone at the grounds were so amazing and took all the precautions and the ambulance ladies were incredible. 'He's still under observation but so far everything is looking good just waiting for the ct results. He'll be very sore for the next few days no doubt. 'This mumma's nerves are hanging by a thread to say the least.' Jess posted several photos of Kade still in his footy gear being checked out at Nepean Hospital. In December last year, Kade caused his family significant alarm after going missing from their Green Point home in the early hours of the morning. CCTV footage later revealed that Kade had purchased a train ticket in Gosford on the NSW central coast at 1.51am. Police launched a search operation and fortunately the teenager was located safe and sound later that night. 'Thank you to everyone who has helped to find him, offered support, and shared this post to get it out to as many people as possible,' Jess wrote on social media, expressing the family's significant gratitude. James Maloney, an footy icon, chalked up 247 NRL appearances over 11 seasons at five clubs and also represented NSW and Australia in a decorated career. His achievements include premiership wins with the Roosters in 2013 and the Sharks in 2016.
