Despite the interest from other clubs, Marshall remains confident that Galvin will remain at the Wests Tigers, citing the club's strong culture and commitment to developing young players. However, with the lure of big-money deals and the promise of premiership success, it remains to be seen whether the Wests Tigers can hold onto their prized asset.

As the rugby league season heats up, the Wests Tigers and Parramatta Eels are just two of the teams looking to make a push for the playoffs. With several other clubs also in the mix, the coming weeks are set to be crucial in determining the makeup of the top eight. Will the Wests Tigers be able to hold onto Galvin and make a deep run in the finals, or will they succumb to the pressure from rival clubs and see their season fade away?
