It took just eight minutes for Lachlan Galvin to win back the Tigers faithful

He was booed, as expected. There was no way a full Sunday afternoon house at Leichhardt was going to do anything else.
But it was the man-of-the-moment, Lachie Galvin, who killed off the boos himself in the ninth minute when he showed the rugby league world exactly what all the fuss was about.
He hit the line at speed off Jarome Luai, drew two defenders and shifted deftly and brilliantly to back-rower Samuela Fainu, who scored to put the Wests Tigers in front over the Sharks. It was a lead which was never relinquished in a heart-stopping golden point win.
The boos were suddenly cheers for the teenager who has been under more pressure than Clive Palmer’s belt buckle in the past fortnight. That he could put the scrutiny all behind him, and perform, is a credit to him.
