Overview

  • Lachlan Galvin delivered a standout performance in his return to the NRL, helping the Tigers secure a 20-18 golden-point win over the Sharks at Leichhardt Oval.
  • Galvin set up the opening try and stepped up as a playmaker during pivotal moments, including when halves partner Jarome Luai was sidelined for a head injury assessment.
  • The 19-year-old’s return follows his rejection of a $6 million contract extension, citing developmental concerns under coach Benji Marshall, and a brief demotion to reserve grade.
  • Galvin’s management has accused the Tigers of bullying and unsafe working conditions, with mediation requested as Parramatta expresses interest in the young star.
  • Despite tensions, coach Benji Marshall praised Galvin’s performance as a potential turning point for the Tigers, who now hold a 4-4 record heading into Magic Round.
