Wests Tigers are believed to be eying off a move for St George Illawarra youngster Jonah Glover as they prepare for life without teenager superstar Lachlan Galvin.

Glover has been one of the stars for the Dragons in NSW Cup this season but he hasn’t been able to crack it for an NRL debut, coach Shane Flanagan opting instead for Lyhkan King-Togia when he made the decision to drop halfback Lachlan Ilias a few weeks ago.

Glover can’t do much more. Through 10 appearances in the NSW Cup, the 22-year-old has recorded 11 try assists and nine line break assists. The Dragons have won seven of those games and Glover has been a large part of their success.

It appears he has caught the eye of the Tigers in the process as they prepare for the imminent departure of Galvin, who is expected to leave the club in coming weeks.

Glover is on a development contract with the Dragons this season and is yet to agree a deal for 2026, meaning he is free to do what he wants at season’s end.

As if we’re looking to replace Galvin with the 4th choice half from the team with the worst halves in the comp.

Maybe we’d be looking for a NSW Cup half but that’s it.

Didn’t Richo say if a player leaked they were in talks they wouldn’t sign them.

Also imagine Latu being training by Jerome, Reynolds and Benji.

I think it is Reynolds trying to get Broncos to lift their game and offer him a deal. He stated that his family is settled in Brisbane and that Brisbane is home. I dont expect him to be with us next year.

Between he and Latu the rehab guys would be the busiest in the club. You would want to keep the world’s greatest hamstring expert on retainer!

b cheaper sending him to get it properly fixed wouldnt it , seems like we have wasted a lot of time on 5//8 Latu, getting fit. Problem with the Bro Cuzzie connection it creates to much power in the playing group . Tyrrell will not be his best with his Brothers. The guy seems like a loose cannon stating everyones hate spurs him on , if he aint doing it for himself that crap will run dry quick
 
Reynolds has said he wants to stay in brisbane as they have moved their whole life up there. That quote was apart of a much bigger message. Literally straight after staying that he said "but I want to stay in brisbane"

Yeah I get it with Latu… we still don’t even know what we have with him …he might have some ability if he can stay on the field … if Reyno wants to come here as depth for a year or two on $450 a year and mentor Latu I could live with it ..Im assuming Bud is gone now freeing up some cash

Tigers slap $165k transfer fee on Galvin to let him negotiate with rival clubs
Click to expand...
SMH: The Wests Tigers will grant Lachlan Galvin permission to negotiate with rival clubs but will attach a transfer fee of $165,000 to his early release.

Tigers officials reached an agreement with Galvin’s management on Thursday that will allow the playmaker to open discussions with clubs about joining them before the June 30 transfer deadline.

The Tigers have demanded that all negotiations are based on the prerequisite that a $165,000 fee will be payable to the club for his release.

The Wests Tigers board met on Monday and agreed on the need to put the Galvin saga to bed, but chief executive Shane Richardson wanted a positive outcome for the club.

Galvin last month informed the Tigers of his desire to depart at the end of his contract, which runs until the end of 2026, with his manager Isaac Moses knocking back Richardson’s attempts to offer him a lucrative upgrade and extension offer worth close to $6 million.

Galvin is on the radar of the Parramatta Eels, while whispers about a move to the Bulldogs have grown louder in recent weeks despite a public declaration by general manager Phil Gould that his club would not pursue Galvin’s services.

“We are not involved in the Lachlan Galvin discussion and we won’t be involved in the Lachlan Galvin discussion,” Gould said. “We wish him all the best.”

The Bulldogs are yet to offer incumbent halfback Toby Sexton an extension and don’t appear in a hurry to lock down their No.7, who became a free agent last November.

Parramatta haven’t hidden their desire to lure Galvin, a childhood Eels supporter. Parramatta coach Jason Ryles sees Galvin as the ideal replacement for the Newcastle-bound Dylan Brown, who will join the Knights next year on a record $13 million deal over 10 years.

“I made my [interest] clear a couple of weeks ago. That hasn’t changed, so we’ll wait and see what happens,” Ryles said.

“The rule is you can’t negotiate until they get permission to, so until that happens we’ll keep our position there. Lots of strange things happen in footy [though], but we’ll make sure we do the right thing with the NRL.”

It comes as Brisbane skipper Adam Reynolds confirmed he had received interest from the Tigers about playing on at the joint venture club next year if he was unable to strike a deal with the Broncos.

“Yes, there’s been interest from the Tigers, but no actual offer,” Reynolds said late on Thursday.

“I’ve always had a lot of time for Benji, and I spent a few years playing junior footy at Leichhardt. But I want to stress my main priority is getting a deal done in Brisbane. That’s where I want to be. And I’m confident we’ll get something sorted.

“If my future isn’t in Brisbane, then naturally I’d have to look elsewhere. It’s nice to know the Tigers have shown interest.”

The idea of Reynolds running the side and allowing Jarome Luai to revert to his old No. 6 role would be sure to excite Tigers fans.

Unfortunately the bullying legal action looks like has meant Richo has had to bend over to Moses.

So much for all the years put in to developing Galvin including 1.5 seasons in NRL. All we look to be receiving in return is equivalent to a low wage player for one year.

Be interesting how Richo positions this outcome to members & fans.
 
Reckon Galvin is going to the Sea Eagles.

Line him up with Moses clients.

Reynolds would not be a bad get for a year. Probably depends on if Madge survives.

Send the board into meltdown....but Luke Brooks....

Something shrewd like introducing a T shirt colouring competition in lieu of announcing any new signings
