Hot on the heels of the Wests Tigers telling Lachie Galvin he's free to leave immediately, the NRL club is reportedly set to lose their team manager as well. The Tigers held a board meeting this week in which it was agreed that Galvin could leave before the June 30 deadline if he can secure a deal with another club. The Tigers reportedly want a player in exchange for Galvin, or a $170,000 transfer fee. Amid speculation about where Galvin might end up, reports emerged on Thursday that team manager Billy Callaway is also set to depart. Wide World of Sports columnist 'The Mole' reported the news on social media without going into detail. When asked for a reason why Callaway is leaving, The Mole simply stated: "It's complicated". Callaway's LinkedIn page still has him as the 'NRL Team Manager at Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Pty Ltd'. He started at the Tigers in 2018 as a coaching and developing manager, before switching roles to become Football Operations Assistant and Facilities Manager. In 2021 under then-coach Michael Maguire he was promoted to team manager. In 2020 he was named 'Club Person of the Year' at the team's awards night, and according to The Mole he's a popular figure around the club.
