Galvin Booed as Struggling Bulldogs Fall to Tigers
The Tigers snapped a three-game losing streak after a 17,505 crowd booed Lachlan Galvin on every touch at CommBank Stadium.
- On Saturday at CommBank Stadium, Wests Tigers defeated the Bulldogs 22-16 in a match where Bulldogs playmaker Lachlan Galvin was relentlessly booed by supporters of his former club.
- Nearly a year has passed since Galvin walked out on Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall to join the Bulldogs, but the pain of his acrimonious exit remains evident among Tigers fans.
- Buoyed by the return of hooker Api Koroisau and fullback Jahream Bula, the Tigers raced to a 16-6 halftime lead, securing tries through wingers Jeral Skelton and Faaletino Tavana.
- Despite a comeback attempt led by Josh Curran, the Tigers held firm when Jarome Luai jolted the ball loose from Sitili Tupouniua in the final minutes to seal victory.
- Canterbury has won just 38 per cent of games since Galvin's arrival, with Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo noting that while the booing is tribal, Galvin will become a better player.
