He’d be off contract when he’s 32… props usually have their best years around 30. What’s the problem?

Maybe a loan deal would be attractive to the Roosters for next season as a like-for-like fill-in for Sam Walker on full freight. Would put him in a good system & in the shop window for his final 2 years of contract. Saves Roosters a roster spot. Otherwise don't know who else would take him if he doesn't want to go to the UK.

Roosters have that half back that tore Manly a new one last week.

Best Magpies halfback since Jason Taylor.

He has grown up, and is looking for a reasonable contract,
And $150.000 a season is ridiculous, he would be better than a couple of props we have, and are paying around 5 times that amount.
So if we have not got anyone else he could help us up front.

He just got selected for jnr wallabies (18s) NZ tour
And spent time in camp with the Wallabies before the Bledisloe - sounds more exciting then 3 wooden spoons so let's hope the money and mates keeps him with us

Lachlan Galvin’s stunning rookie year is poised to end on a high, with the West Tigers playmaker expected to be called up for the Prime Minister’s XIII side.
Galvin would have been the runaway favourite for Dally M rookie of the year honours, had a suspension not ruled him ineligible. The teenager is a bright spot for Wests Tigers in a year in which the club finished with its third wooden spoon.
While there hasn’t yet been an official announcement of Brad Fittler’s PM XIII squad, which will play against PNG at Santos Stadium in Port Moresby on Sunday October 13, Galvin is tipped to be one of the headliners.
The match will give the rising Tigers star valuable experience among the game’s elite as he prepares to welcome new halves partner, Panthers superstar Jarome Luai, at the club next season.
The Tigers are also expected to make a call on a replacement assistant coach for Robbie Farah next week, with fellow premiership-winning teammate Brett Hodgson expected set to get the nod.

It's really important for WT's trajectory that Makasini and Galvin re-commit. With a number of player contracts expiring at the end of next season and the addition of Luai etc, it allows us to have a proper crack from 2026 onwards.
We are obviously hamstrung currently with 4-5 top 30 spots needing an upgrade and our inability to move on those players in question. Hopefully Richo can come out with some good news over the next few weeks.

Forget Large.. he's signed with Manly for 3 years.
However with some new strong signings coming in 25 it will hopefully help gel the team together get them working as a cohesive unit, which should produce the results we are after. Having 4 or 5 top players who have the skill and talent to read the players will help bring out the best of some of our young guns. And.... then, entice players like Galvin to stay.
