Walters snubs Bulldogs in call on Galvin's future amid $2 million 'clip' for Tigers
Former Broncos coach Kevin Walters reckons Lachie Galvin would be better to choose Parramatta over Canterbury, with a decision over the wantaway Wests Tigers star's NRL future imminent. And Michael Ennis says the fact Galvin appears willing to sacrifice $2 million to leave is another massive 'clip' for Benji Marshall's side. The Bulldogs have emerged as favourites for Galvin's signature, following reports he's been granted an immediate release from the Tigers, despite being contracted for one more season. However, the Eels are also right in the hunt for Galvin's prized signature, with both clubs tabling offers this week worth around $750,000-a-season. reports that Galvin's representatives met with both Parramatta and Canterbury officials on Wednesday, and an announcement about his future could be made this weekend. It's understood the Tigers will allow him to leave immediately, if a rival club pays a $165,000 transfer fee. Galvin grew up in the Parramatta area and supported the Eels as a kid, with a move to Jason Ryles' side making a lot of sense. The Eels will have a vacancy at five-eighth next season when Dylan Brown moves to Newcastle on a 10-year, $13 million deal. And Galvin could form a lethal halves partnership with Eels skipper Mitchell Moses if he chooses to go there. Galvin also has links to the Bulldogs with his former Westfield Sports High School teacher Luke Vella one of coach Cameron Ciraldo's assistants at Canterbury. But the 19-year-old's chances of playing in his favoured position of five-eighth are far less straightforward at the Bulldogs, with Matt Burton unlikely to vacate that role. The most likely scenario would be Galvin taking Toby Sexton's No.7 jersey at the Dogs, with GM of football Phil Gould only fuelling that speculation after failing to guarantee the future of the off-contract halfback. However, Walters says the Eels would be a better move for the youngster and allow him to continue to develop in his natural position alongside one of the game's best halfbacks. 'Parramatta, it makes more sense for him to go to Parramatta... if you're a young five-eighth and you're looking for someone to tag up with, (it's) Mitchell Moses,' Walters told Fox League. "I'd be leaning towards that.' However, former Bulldogs premiership winner Michael Ennis says he has a "gut feeling" the teenage playmaker will end up at Belmore, under the tutelage of Canterbury coach Ciraldo. Ennis pointed to Gould's comments that Galvin was the best teenager he'd ever seen, despite the Bulldogs supremo initially declaring they had no interest in signing the youngster. 'Gus (made that claim) a number of weeks ago, then you go 'he's going to be a chance of ending up at the Bulldogs' and here we are,' Ennis said on Fox League. 'My gut feeling says he is going to be at Canterbury. I think he may end up at Canterbury and I think it will be a huge signing. 'Canterbury at the moment (are) leading the competition... doing so many things on and off the field so well. Cameron Ciraldo a terrific coach and you are seeing players play their best footy under him. Players who were elite are finding improvements in their game."

But it's still well short of the $6 million, five-year offer he turned down to stay with the Tigers long-term. And Ennis says the fact Galvin would be willing to sacrifice around $2 million to leave the Tigers is another massive blow to the joint-venture club. 'That leads it all back to the original decision, which I thought was such a clip for the Tigers, that Lachlan Galvin didn't take up a $1.2 million deal from the Tigers for five seasons," Ennis said. "Because he, I am paraphrasing, wanted to develop his game. To then go to Parramatta or Canterbury for $750,000, a $2 million difference just to leave. This story is enormous and it looks like it is going to come to a head in the next 24 or 48 hours.'

Lachlan Galvin's staggering $2m sacrifice emerges as next NRL club set to be decided in days
Wantaway Wests Tigers star Lachlan Galvin is set to decide on his next club in a matter of days after meeting with both the Bulldogs and the Eels, but irrespective of the club he decides to join, the 19-year-old will be sacrificing millions of dollars to secure the move. According to the Sydney Morning Herald reports the teenager has two offers worth around $750,000 a season on the table from both clubs, with the teenager now taking some time away to decide his next move. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. But while both deals present large upgrades on his current deal, rumoured to be around $350,000 a season, it is significantly less than the $6m five-year extension from the Tigers he turned down. It means in pushing for a move away from the joint venture, the young playmaker has sacrificed more than $2m. The news comes as it emerged this week that he has all but certainly played his final game for the Tigers, with the club agreeing to let him leave immediately if a rival team forks out a reported $165,000 transfer fee. But where will he end up? According to Bulldogs great Michael Ennis, he believes Phil Gould's love of the teenager will see him land at Canterbury. 'Gus (made that claim) a number of weeks ago, then you go 'he's going to be a chance of ending up at the Bulldogs' and here we are,' Ennis said on Fox League on Friday night. 'My gut feeling says he is going to be at Canterbury. I think he may end up at Canterbury and I think it will be a huge signing. 'Canterbury at the moment leading the competition … doing so many things on and off the field so well. 'Cameron Ciraldo is a terrific coach and you are seeing players play their best footy under him. Players who were elite are finding improvements in their game.' Ennis, however, believes the offer on the table for Galvin and the youngster's decision to leave millions on the table is a slap in the face to the Tigers and coach Benji Marshall. 'That leads it all back to the original decision, which I thought was such a clip for the Tigers, that Lachlan Galvin didn't take up a $1.2 million deal from the Tigers for five seasons,' he continued. 'Because he, I am paraphrasing, wanted to develop his game. To then go to Parramatta or Canterbury for $750,000, a $2 million difference just to leave. 'This story is enormous and it looks like it is going to come to a head in the next 24 or 48 hours.' The Tigers originally shut down talks Galvin could leave this year, stating he will see out his deal that runs until the end of 2026. However, after mediation with the Tigers amid bullying claims, the joint venture has agreed to let him go when he finds a club that can take him.
