Amid Lachlan Galvin's impending exit, the Tigers have another key contract decision on their hands.
Rising hooker Tallyn Da Silva's deal expires at the end of 2026, meaning he can negotiate with rival clubs from November 30 this year.
According to his manager Mario Tartak, five NRL teams are already interested in the 20-year-old.
WWOS has reported that the Eels are one of the clubs keen to secure his services.

Da Silva debuted for the Tigers in 2023 but has made just 10 first-grade appearances since then.
Premiership-winning dummy-half Api Koroisau currently wears the No. 9 jersey, which has limited the young gun's opportunities.
Notably, Koroisau's contract also runs until next year.
Da Silva's manager feels that his player may have to look elsewhere if the veteran hooker extends with the Tigers.
"Tallyn loves the Tigers – this isn't a Lachlan Galvin-type situation," Tartak told WWOS.
"We can't talk to clubs at this stage, but five have told me that if Tallyn goes to the marketplace, they are keen.
"It's up to the Tigers to decide what they want to do, but if Api stays, chances are Tallyn will have to go."
