Wests Tigers teenage sensation Lachlan Galvin has commented on his return to first-grade after being dropped and spending a week with the NSW Cup team.
He has been the center of attention recently, especially after declining a five-year contract extension worth around $6 million.
Galvin played a crucial role in the Tigers' upset victory over the Cronulla Sharks in Golden Point, earning praise from prominent figures like Andrew Johns and Phil Gould.
Having made his debut in Round 1 last season, Galvin has rapidly established himself as a standout player, with many considering him one of the best young talents in the NRL.
Recently, he announced his decision to leave the Tigers at the end of the next season, seeking a change of scenery to further his development with a different NRL coach.
Reflecting on his recent experiences, Galvin expressed his commitment to the game, stating that all he wants to do is "play rugby league." He emphasized that his primary focus is to play "great footy" for the Wests Tigers before his departure after the 2026 season.
