Galvin has many really good moments but I'm still not convinced he's a top tier player. Still a liability defensively, inconsistent in attack with plenty of errors, often cramps up attacking movements.
So much also to like: variety of passing, kicking game getting better and better, strength to break tackles, high adlib ability and desire for the ball.
I just think it's far too early for 1mil offer.

I think it’s to make a spot available for Makahisi for when he turns 18?
When does that come about again?
What is the numbers required and by when?

I have a big opinion of Luaali and I think we are right for backs :-
Bula
Luaali
Surava
Douhei
Skelton
Back ups
Toa
Naden
Mason
Makasini (perhaps - not convinced by his SG Ball displays to date that he will be a lock in by next season.)
I think warriors were too good for us up the middle, we desperately need another top class prop. And a second rower , that pushes Seyfarth to the bench.
With all due respect I think you’re very wrong.

We definitely need a second rower, if not two. I know some will disagree but i don't think we need another prop as much as we need a lock.
If we were to get a good quality lock, Twal would move back to the front row. We have May who can play big minutes (ideally only 60mins a game) and Pole who can play decent minutes (should be around 50mins). Hunt and either Twal or Sione Fainu can cover the other 50mins between them. If Twal and Hunt are the bench rotation, that would leave Sione and Kit Laulilii out of the 17 and as depth. Adding another prop would block their pathway/opportunities. With the additional second rower, that would also allow Seyfarth to move back to the bench and cover prop if required. That's 7 players capable of playing in the prop position.
If we can get a couple of second rowers, lock AND a prop, thats great but we also don't want to block Sione and Kits pathway moving forward.
At what point (date) in the season?

I think Latu should play a Yeo style role as lock with Galvin on right and Romey left and free to shift aka Cleary.
Latu can swap with bird who covers second row in defence .
The warriors rolled straight thru our forwards, we definitely need another high class mobile prop and second rower.
I like Twal but if we are to be a top 8 team he needs to be depth only just as Seyfarth needs to be bench only or cover for Samuela.
Just my opinion we aren’t winning anything with the current forward pack
At least 24 Top 30 players must be contracted by 1 November, 28 Top 30 players by the Monday prior to Round 1 and 30 Top 30 players by 30 June (or the first working day thereafter if 30 June falls on a weekend).
