News BREAKING: Lachlan Galvin drops bombshell as young gun rejects Tigers $5m offer

[Jackson_1994]

THE mail out of the Wests Tigers is young gun teenage five-eighth Lachlan Galvin has dropped a contract bombshell by telling the club he intends to test his value on the open market in November.

Galvin and player agent Isaac Moses met with Wests Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson at the Tigers Concord headquarters last week to deliver the devastating news.

The development is a hammer blow for Wests Tigers after the club’s positive start to the 2025 season including an outstanding win against the Newcastle Knights on Sunday.

The Wests Tigers had been preparing to offer Galvin a five-year deal believed to be worth around the $5 million mark to retain him at the club.

But the teenager who won a title playing for Wests Magpies in Harold Matthews in 2022 has told the club he will be going to the open market on November 1.

Galvin, 19, is currently signed with the Wests Tigers until the end of 2026 but will be free to formally open negotiations with rival clubs from November 1.

Gus is going to throw the club at him isn’t he..

 

[Scoooby]

Nah we got Sexy… don’t want Galvin.

 

[B-Train]

That's a lot of money to turn down. As good as he is, he's not worth that yet. But if Brown can get the crazy deal he got, it wouldn't surprise if a 19 year old with less than a year of FG gets crazy money. Plenty of clubs will be after him.

hope not - Galvin is n will be a very good player - defends well good passing game kicks well but imo lacks the speed / acceleration to be an elite million plus half

 

[King Gus]

Is he what we need?
Do we lose woods?

 

[Brendan7]

Newcastle saying oh bugger we could have offered this bloke what we are paying Brown lol

Galvin and Woods halves combo

We’d lose more than Woods, and answer is no he’s not worth it. Great talent but first and foremost he’s a 6, we already have one

 

[EHBulldog]

I reckon he's off to Manly.

If he's knocking back 5mil, he ain't hanging around

or THINKS he can get that sort of money.

 

[chemdog]

there will be a lot of clubs wanting to sign Galvin and I doubt gus will want to get into a bidding war

 

[bradyk]

Throw a mill at him and see if he wants to win a premiership. He can get more elsewhere.

Roosters

Gus is too busy throwing a million @ Burton with 3 years still left on his contract to worry about Galvin lol

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I reckon he's off to Manly.

If he's knocking back 5mil, he ain't hanging around

His manager has a stranglehold on Manly, multiple players and the coach are his clients.

 

[chemdog]

Roosters

back to parra

 

[LeeroyJenkins]
