Wests Tigers young player Lachlan Galvin has publicly addressed his decision to leave the team at the end of 2026.
Despite the shock announcement, Galvin will honor the remainder of his contract before joining a new club.
The Tigers emphasized that there would be no early release, despite offering Galvin the largest contract ever given to a junior player in their history, rumored to be worth $5 million over 5 years.
In his interview with News Corp, Galvin explained his reasoning for making this decision, stating that he wanted to give the club ample time to plan for their future without the distraction of his potential departure lingering over the team for a year.
