Departing Wests Tigers star Lachlan Galvin could decide which NRL club he will join as soon as this weekend after reportedly meeting with both the Bulldogs and Parramatta.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the 19-year-old met with his suitors on Wednesday, with both clubs tabling offers of around $750,000 a season.
That’s a big upgrade on Galvin’s current deal — estimated to be worth around $350,000 a season — but significantly less than the $6 million extension said to be offered by the Tigers over five years.

Are the Dogs still in for Galvin? | 01:51
It means Galvin could be sacrificing more well in excess of $2 million to continue his NRL career at another club.
It emerged this week the Tigers have agreed to let Lachlan Galvin leave the club immediately but only if a rival club pays a reported $165,000 transfer fee.
Galvin now appears to have played his final game for the Tigers, with the club eventually giving in to demands for an early release from his contract in what has been a drawn-out and ugly saga.
The player was sensationally dropped for a week to NSW Cup amid claims one of his grievances with staying at the Tigers long term was the standard of Benji Marshalls coaching.
The Tigers initially suggested Galvin would have to remain until the end of his deal in 2026 but the club has now moved to fast-track Galvin’s exit amid unrest in the playing group and the five-eighth in mediation with the Tigers over bullying claims.
The Sydney Roosters were also thought to be one of the leading contenders to sign Galvin but it appears to be now down to a two-club battle.
