with Souths defeating
Newtown 23–15 in the 1954 grand final. In 1955, Gallagher won his third premiership with Souths defeating Newtown again by a score of 12–11 in the grand final. In 1956, Gallagher almost played in his fourth straight grand final as Souths made the preliminary final but were defeated 36-33 by Balmain.
