Bud Sullivan, Brent Naden given permission to pursue contracts with LNR rivals

After recovering from the setback of being told as a junior he was not wanted at Parramatta – the club he adored – Galvin was a perennial winner. However, he won 11 grand finals: three with Eaglevale-St Andrews Magpies in the Western Suburbs junior district; four with Wentworthville, with whom he did not lose a game; three at Westfields Sports High, including last year’s decider, a Harold Matthews premiership; and a Buckley Shield triumph and a national championship against Palm Beach Currumbin.

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

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