Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall is preparing to blood local junior Lachlan Galvin in the club’s season opener Canberra.
Galvin, who is still only 18, is expected to make his NRL debut on the weekend after impressing in the trials, coming off the bench against St George Illawarra.
There had been speculation halfback Aidan Sezer was struggling with an injury but it’s expected the veteran playmaker will also be named on Tuesday.
With new recruit Jayden Sullivan also in the mix for a spot in the halves, Galvin is likely to be named in the squad with the view he’ll receive a call-up for Saturday’s clash with the Raiders.
Centre Justin Olam picked up a knee injury in the final trial but is also expected to be cleared to take the field.
