Lachlan Galvin is set to test the open market as a free agent, making him one of the most sought-after players in the NRL.
The 19-year-old is being hailed as the uncrowned 2024 Rookie of the Year, with speculation that he would have easily won the award if not for a suspension.
Galvin's decision to test his value comes on the heels of a reported mega-deal for Dylan Brown, which has set a new benchmark in the market.
Despite having just over 20 NRL games under his belt, Galvin is poised to cash in on his talent and potential.
Many teams are already expressing interest in the young star, with Zero Tackle naming the top five potential landing spots for Galvin as he prepares to become a free agent on November 1st.
The article speculates that the Sydney Roosters could be a strong contender for Galvin, with their history of developing young talent and their need for a long-term replacement for Luke Keary.
The Penrith Panthers, who are known for their strong youth development program, are also mentioned as a potential landing spot for Galvin.
The Canberra Raiders are another team to watch, as they could use a player like Galvin to bolster their squad and add depth to their lineup.
The North Queensland Cowboys and New Zealand Warriors are also reportedly interested in Galvin, with both teams having the salary cap space and potential roster spots to accommodate the rising star.
With plenty of time for teams to make moves and shuffle their rosters, Galvin is poised to make a big impact in the NRL in 2027.
As teams jockey for position to sign the talented teenager, it remains to be seen where Galvin will ultimately end up and how he will perform in the next stage of his career.
