News that Lachlan Galvin is set to test open market is sure to make him the hottest free agent on the market.
The uncrowned 2024 Rookie of the Year. Let's face it: if he hadn't been suspended, he would have walked into the award. He has also indicated he will test his value in the coming weeks/months.
Given the reported mega-deal for Dylan Brown, the market has been re-set, meaning Galvin is set to cash in despite having just over 20 NRL games on his resume.
I have no doubt a host of teams will be discussing the 19 year-old as I type this.
Galvin is set to be become a free agent as of November 1st, meaning teams have plenty of time to shuffle their roster to make move for the teenage star for 2027.
Today we look at the FIVE most likely potential landing spots for Lachlan Galvin:
One club I'm yet to hear linked to Galvin is The Dolphins.
They have young Isaiya Katoa at halfback. I'm convinced he's going to be the next star of the game. Why not partner him with the other player very much seen as the next star in Galvin?
Sean O'Sullivan and Kodi Nikorima are good talents. Great even. Neither has really nailed down the spot next to Katoa.
A Galvin/Katoa partnership could see the Dolphins run riot over the next ten years.
The Dolphins have an aging squad but with Katoa, Gilbert, Marshall-King and the Hammer all hitting the peaks of their careers, the Dolphins suddenly looks a serious destination.
I have no idea of their cap situation but you'd have to believe the Phins would figure it out to be able to make an attractive offer to Galvin.
He and Katoa could be the combined face of the franchise for many, many years.
