In the rugged world of Rugby League, where every match is a battle and every player is a warrior, the Wests Tigers have been struggling to find their footing.
They may have been knocked down by the Canberra Raiders and earned themselves the unfortunate title of back-to-back wooden spoon recipients, but hope shines bright in the form of young gun Lachlan Galvin.
Making his debut in the NRL last week, Galvin showcased his skills and potential to be a game-changer for the Tigers.
In a team plagued by halves struggles over the years, the teenager has emerged as a beacon of hope, drawing comparisons to legends like Robbie Farah, Benji Marshall, James Tedesco, and Chris Lawrence who stepped up at a young age.
The Tigers have seen their fair share of halves come and go, with a whopping 18 players tried in the position since their last finals appearance in 2011.
From Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses to the likes of Will Smith, Brandon Wakeham, and Jackson Hastings, the club has been on a quest to find the missing piece of the puzzle.
With Galvin now in the mix, there's a sense of optimism that he could be the key to unlocking the Tigers' potential and steering them towards success in the future.
As the team looks to rebuild and redefine themselves, could Galvin be the player who helps them stand tall and truly be "Built Different" in 2024? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - the Tigers are ready to roar once again.
