The 19-year-old was expected to receive a hostile welcome from his own fans but the Tigers faithful instead got behind their polarising No. 6. In his first interview since the saga began, Galvin told Fox League that he was determined to make his return about the team. “I wanted to make sure I came in and was doing everything for the team, it wasn’t about me this week,” Galvin said after starring in his side’s golden point win. “It was Anzac Round and we just wanted to come in and do everyone proud, do our fans proud, that’s what we wanted to do this week and not worry about myself. “I just wanted to come out here and do the team proud and all of us boys did that tonight. “Obviously it’s been a big couple of weeks and to get the win in front of the fans, that’s why you play the game of rugby league, to win and come out and do it in front of the fans. It was a great win, we’ll get back to training next week and work even harder and go again next week. “I’m feeling great, I’ve massive support around me, all I want to do is play rugby league, that’s the reason I live to be honest, to play this game and that’s all I want to do, work hard and let my footy do the talking. “Obviously it’s been a big couple of weeks but to come out here and win is great.” Benji proud of "special efforts" | 04:35 MORE NRL NEWS ‘NOT ONCE HAVE I’: Luai makes feelings on Galvin known after his Tigers return LEICHHARDT ERUPTS: Tigers’ golden point magic as Galvin delivers in NRL return ‘CHALLENGED US’: Ricky’s halftime spray that triggered epic comeback revealed ‘A JOKE’: Great savages sin bin ‘farce’ as 16TH player marched in one round The Tigers won a golden point epic when Adam Doueihi booted an 88th minute penalty goal to send the home crowd into raptures. “We always come here at Leichardt when it’s a packed crowd and win and to do it in front of our fans tonight,” he said. “We’ve been working really hard for the last couple of weeks and this is the (type) game we want to play, we want to make it ugly and grind teams out to the end and we definitely did that tonight, it was a great win and to repay our fans at Leichardt tonight. “I’ve never been in a golden point before, that was my first one so it’s pretty taxing on the body. “It’s pretty cool, you feel like everyone is a bit nervous but Ads with that two-pointer, he was clutch at the end.” "A lot to like" Fitzy takes positives | 03:03 Doueihi revealed the past fortnight had “rattled” Galvin and praised the teenager for how he responded. “He was really good, he’s a kid that’s probably been a bit rattled over the past few weeks and I really do feel for him the way he’s been bombarded with the media and all the outside noise but inside our four walls we really do have high respect for the kid,” Doueihi said. “I get on really well with him, he’s a really down to earth kid that just loves playing footy. “You could see that tonight the way he came out and just owned the game and still put his plays on is a credit to the kid himself and I’m glad he was in our team today.
