We would like to announce that Lachlan Galvin will not be with the club beyond the 2026 season.
Despite the club having the largest contract offer for a junior in the history of the club on the table, Lachlan and his management have decided his future lies elsewhere and were not willing to review the offer.
It should be noted that the club has no intention of releasing Lachlan from his contract, and he has not requested this.
Obviously, there will be a lot of speculation around this release, but we will make no further comment.
The club is focused on winning as many games as possible during Lachlan’s tenure and beyond.
The club is disappointed, but we move on.
I find it very strange Tigers come out now with a statement when they have till 1st Nov to convince him to stay. He's already signed somewhere else for sure.

This statement was a clear "F you" to Isaac Moses trying to devalue Galvin before he hits the market by showing both that he is disloyal and causes disruption. Both of which appear to be true.
I really hope clubs thing long and hard about his signing. This level of entitlement this early doesn't always end well.

That's one pissed off press release. I can't see this lasting. That's quite extraordinary tbh.

probably depends how toxic it gets at the tigers my tip is he signs with parra for 26 as galvin has asked for a release twice last year clearly something is wrong between him and the club
"How? The kid has never played 6 other than Tonga U18's. Pretty much every good Fullback has skills that can translate to 6, Tedesco looks like it, Pap has those elements too. If you have a good pass on you and can run those are skills needed for a…"
"As much as I would love to see Cobbo at Parra, I wouldn't be moving Iongi from the fullback role to accommodate him.
Also, if we can get Galvin from next year, I can't see any reason why we wouldn't regardless of who his manager is.
I see a…"
"I'd be sticking with Iongi at FB and Galvin for 5/8. We all know his manager is ruthless, and it's clearly just a ploy to get him it of his final contract year.
I'd have Cobbo on the wing, but I prefer Iongi at FB because of his ball playing ability."

If he coming to Parramatta we need him in 2026 or i hope we buy another good 5/8
Katoa to the tigers Galvin to parra
I reckon Wests go with Latu Fainu.
Katoa if anything to Penrith perhaps.
Like that, DCE to dolphins and Ponga to Roosters. Brad Arthur to Knights - maybe Lane might be interested in moving up north?
Dogs would be the eels biggest threat .
