Well I must be one of the only person that has not been swept up in the Galvin pile on ! The kid shows plenty of promise that’s for sure but the kid is 6 three and a bean shoot and not overly fast now the future growth is coming . The talk of a ten year deal is crazy I think his future is definitely in the fowards . I think the Tigers have no chance of him signing a new contract this season , he will get away with 5/8 in 2025 but IMO the real change will be in 2026 when the body fills out and he is not as fast , it will be interesting how things pan out as a potential club is going to have to decide where his position is which then dictates what his worth is and length of contract is … he is a talent sure but things could change very quickly as his body matures. Your born with the talent but the talent can be hamstrung by body development… I do not want the club going down the 10 contact path as I always thought they are ridiculous contracts !
I agree we should avoid the 10yr contract commitment and TBH I don't think he would be interested in it either. He could still play in the halves if he filled out or even lost a step of speed, however he would need to improve his kicking game and the physicality in his running game. A big body that can draw defenders and pass at the line would be very destructive and likely a great partner to Luai's elusiveness.Well I must be one of the only person that has not been swept up in the Galvin pile on !

Be careful what you wish for......
THis is apparently actually from the official Wests Tigers. This is the way they announce the 2025 draw.
If this is Wests Tigers social media engagement, I want LESS of it....a lot less of it. Like none.
