Roosters Set to Sign Origin Star as Luai and Galvin Linked to Rival Club
The Sydney Roosters are reportedly closing in on the signing of a State of Origin representative as they continue to strengthen their squad for the future. While the club has been linked to several high-profile players, speculation is mounting over which Origin star will be heading to Bondi.
With veteran playmaker Luke Keary nearing the end of his career and uncertainty surrounding Joey Manu’s long-term future, the Roosters are in the market for a marquee signing. Their interest in an experienced Origin player suggests they are looking for leadership and impact to complement their already star-studded roster.
Meanwhile, the Wests Tigers are facing a battle to retain two of their most promising playmakers, with Jarome Luai and Lachlan Galvin both linked to a move elsewhere. Luai, who has already signed with the Tigers for 2025, is reportedly being targeted by a rival club looking to lure him away before his deal even begins. The Panthers star is set to join the struggling club on a lucrative contract, but uncertainty over the Tigers’ stability has raised questions about whether he will see out his commitment.
Teenage sensation Lachlan Galvin is also attracting attention, with reports suggesting rival clubs are circling the talented five-eighth. The Tigers see Galvin as a crucial part of their long-term plans, but given their recent struggles, other NRL teams are hoping to convince him to consider a fresh start elsewhere.
With the Roosters’ impending Origin signing and the Tigers fighting to keep their playmakers, the NRL transfer market continues to heat up as teams position themselves for future success.
