Raiders hero cops brutal snub as NRL fans lash 'unwatchable' Lachie Galvin promo
Angry footy fans have taken aim at Fox League's relentless promotional video for Lachie Galvin before his first game for the Bulldogs on Monday. And the decision from the NRL 360 panel to snub Canberra milestone man Josh Papalii in favour of the Canterbury recruit has sparked backlash around the NRL world. Galvin enjoyed a fairytale debut for the Dogs after coming off the bench and scoring a late try in his side's 30-12 win over Parramatta in the King's Birthday clash at Accor Stadium. Galvin's name was chanted behind the bench as he prepared to come on and the 19-year-old was given a standing ovation when he entered the fray in the second half, before being mobbed by teammates when he scored a late try to all but seal the win. "It was (a relief). For the fans to get behind me (after) being here a week only is pretty cool," Galvin said after the match. "That's all in the past now. I just want to come over here and play good footy and enjoy my footy, that is the main reason I play and the reason I want to be here." Galvin was a late call-up to coach Cameron Ciraldo's 17-man squad after initially being named amongst the reserves. And his inclusion added another dimension to the Bulldogs' attack after Galvin took over the halfback role from Toby Sexton and forced the No.7 to shift into hooker. The try and victory for the Dogs capped off a rollercoaster few months for Galvin, whose release from the Wests Tigers continued to dominate the headlines. But suggestions that the buzz around the 19-year-old would die down after his move to Canterbury proved ill-founded as Fox League bombarded viewers with a feature promo on Galvin before and during Monday's game. Narrated by Matty Johns, the package contained a montage of highlights from Galvin's short career at the Tigers and touched on the significance of his signing for the Bulldogs. The promo aired numerous times in the lead-up to the game and even during halftime as the 19-year-old waited to get on the field.

Galvin is undoubtedly a future superstar of the sport but the level of hype around the 19-year-old clearly turned fans off. "That package on Fox Sports about Galvin is so f***ing cringe. Massively over-rated and has accomplished nothing," one fan wrote on X. The Matty johns thing on Galvin is top level cringe. Unwatchable, so corny #NRLBulldogsEels — the digger (@darrenk06) June 9, 2025 Lachlan Galvin has achieved nothing in rugby league except a wooden spoon and he has a whole tribute dedicated to him by Matty Johns? What alternate universe am I living in??? #NRLBulldogsEels — kiki. (@silvermoonkiks) June 9, 2025 Enough with the Galvin piece already. I think we get the hype for this game because we are WATCHING IT. #NRLBulldogsEels — Jen (@gotothegymjen) June 9, 2025 Who gave the green light to showing the Galvin promo 4 times throughout the game. Promoting a drop ball and a forward pass ? #nrlbulldogseels — Seb (@Bazarati2096) June 9, 2025 Incredibly, the panel on Fox League's NRL 360 kept the Galvin love-fest going after the game by describing his try-scoring debut for the Dogs as their 'moment of the round'. The fact they chose to overlook Canberra great Papalii's record-breaking game for the Raiders on Sunday left many fans baffled. Papalii scored a fairytale double as he became the most-capped player in Canberra history with 319 appearances. He even kicked an impressive conversion out wide for the high-flying Raiders to help them record a gritty come-from-behind win over South Sydney. In terms of milestones, it couldn't have gone any better and Canberra coach Ricky Stuart said it cemented Papalii's status as one of the club's greatest ever players. 'This is not a rash statement, the greats of our club, the real greats, you've got Mal Meninga, Glenn Lazarus, Laurie Daley and Brad Clyde," the Canberra coach said. "You put Josh Papalii in there now and that is without any emotion, that's just fact, that's how good a player he is. 'If you had to pick the five greatest players to play for this club... there they are. I have had enough of FOX League making everything all about Lachie GalvinOh yeah Lachie Galvin got a try let's make that the moment of the roundPapalii's 2 tries and Conversion in his record breaking game was the best thing that happened this weekend#nrl #rugbyleague — Jarod (@jarod_h1) June 9, 2025 The #NRL wonder why so many fans are disenfranchised. Refs, easy target, incl. Bunker, BUT... the so called "experts", Braith, Buzz and the boys on 360 think Galvin scoring a nothing try on debut vs a 319* game record breaking vet who scored a double... P-LEASE!!!NRL fans wept! — Matthew Lippiatt-Sidman (@MLS_therealM3) June 9, 2025 And somehow his try was NRL360s moment of the round. Not a legend of the game becoming the most capped player in his clubs history, scoring a double and kicking a goal in the process… — Alan 𝕏 (@alanmans001) June 10, 2025 Everyone agrees but it's clear its only happening because for about a month every single Galvin story got an insane amount of clicks so now they're going to milk this cow to death — 9-2 and in desperate need of a bye (@pray4theoffszn) June 9, 2025 Pappa deserves every accolade from the weekend.A true warrior — Pottsy_80 (@HikingViking_80) June 9, 2025 with AAP
