Lachlan Galvin has been omitted from the Wests Tigers' squad for their upcoming match against the Cowboys in Townsville, as he takes time away from training while details of his departure are finalized.
Reports from nrl.com.au indicate that Galvin is strongly linked to a move to Canterbury, following his rejection of a five-year contract, which accelerated his exit from the Tigers.
Currently contracted to Wests Tigers until the end of the 2027 season, the 19-year-old playmaker has been granted permission to negotiate with other clubs during the club's Round 12 bye.
Bulldogs head of football Phil Gould has confirmed preparations for Galvin's arrival at Belmore, suggesting that the transfer may occur before their next match against Parramatta on June 9.
Tigers coach Benji Marshall announced a 22-man squad for the upcoming trip to North Queensland, notably excluding Galvin.
Instead, Heath Mason has been named at five-eighth for his second NRL match of the season.
