Club Career
Gavluvao was a member of the 2003 NRL premiership-winning Panthers team which defeated the Sydney Roosters in the 2003 NRL grand final. With fellow second-rower Tony Puletua, Galuvao was known as one of the "Hair Bears" and was rated one of the best second-rowers in the world in 2003.
Galuvao joined the Rabbitohs from 2006 on a three-year deal. Galuvao was released in September 2007 after a campaign to encourage him to retire, reportedly being told by Souths to swap "the paddock for the pulpit". by the Rabbitohs to join the Parramatta Eels in the 2008 off season. Galuvao signed a 2 year contract with Parramatta, keeping him with the Eels through the 2009 season. In the 2008 season, he only played in six NRL games for the Eels. In 2009, however he matched that total in the first six games of the season.
In August, 2009, Galuvao extended his playing career by signing a three-year deal with Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. Despite being concussed in a pre-season match, Galuvao made his debut for Manly against his old club Parramatta in Round 2 of the 2010 season.
Galuvao won a second premiership as part of Manly's victorious 2011 NRL Grand Final squad. He, along with Shane Rodney have played in the same premiership team twice, Rodney having been a teammate of Galuvao's in Penrith's victorious 2003 NRL Grand Final squad.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
“The problem, thus, is not whether or not women are to combine marriage and motherhood with work or career but how they are to do so—concomitantly in a two-role continuous pattern or sequentially in a pattern involving job or career discontinuities.”
—Jessie Bernard (20th century)
