Galvin is only 18 and has already experienced a rollercoaster of an NRL career.

After recovering from the setback of being told as a junior he wasn’t wanted at Parramatta - the club he adored - Galvin has been a perennial winner. All up,he has won 11 grand finals:three with Eaglevale-St Andrews Magpies in the Western Suburbs junior district;four with Wentworthville,with whom he never lost a game;three at Westfields Sports High including last year’s decider,a Harold Matthews premiership;and a Buckley Shield triumph and a national championships against Palm Beach Currumbin.

However,the euphoria that came with Galvin’s NRL debut in round two - and early wins against Cronulla and Parramatta - has quickly dissipated. The Tigers have lost nine subsequent games and are favourites to secure a third-straight wooden spoon.

Galvin has struggled through the latter losses with a fractured hand and will be rested for Saturday’s clash with the Titans.

Several clubs have been monitoring the situation should he become a free agent,but it is a moot point for the Tigers,who have no intention of letting him go.

Richardson has been active since taking on the top job last year. He has signed Luai and Sunia Turuva from the Panthers,embarked on a mission to England in a bid to sign a player of interest and is trying to move on several players signed by the previous administration.

Sullivan has struggled to cement a first-grade spot and has been overlooked for the Tigers game,in favour of the new-look Aidan Sezer-Apisai Koroisau halves pairing for the Gold Coast match.
