- Bulldogs fans out in force post-game on Monday
- Followed impressive win over Parramatta
Jubilant Bulldogs NRL fans who were caught in wild celebrations on social media have been accused of blocking traffic and harassing motorists as they partied after their win over arch-rivals Parramatta on Monday night.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo’s men continue to be the yardstick of the competition after 14 rounds – and their loyal supporters were in the mood to celebrate after they outclassed the Eels 30-12 at Accor Stadium.
The fans are seen packing onto the street at Belmore in Sydney’s south-west in vision uploaded to TikTok and X.
A motorbike and then a ute can be seen struggling to move through the sea of fans, the majority decked out in Canterbury’s iconic blue and white colours.
Daily Mail Australia understands the footage was taken from Burwood Rd in Belmore just before 7pm on Monday.
A page on X known as NRL Silverback posted: ‘Bulldogs fans are currently blocking traffic, harassing and assaulting motorists trying to drive through the streets.
‘All this for beating the team in 2nd last?’
It provoked an animated response on social media, with Bulldogs fans feeling the words were provocative.

NSW Police attended the scene – and confirmed there was ‘no damage to property and zero assaults’
‘They are celebrating a win, nothing wrong with that. You can only beat who the NRL have you to play every week,’ said one.
A second asked: ‘Where’s the riot police?
A third weighed in with: ‘Loving the hate from (other) jealous supporters.’
In a statement, NSW Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia they were at the scene.
‘Police were in attendance for crowd control but no issues occurred, there was no damage to property and zero assaults,’ the statement read.
At Accor Stadium, Lachlan Galvin made his long awaited debut for the Bulldogs, and the teenager became an instant cult hero after scoring a second half try.
Galvin warmed the bench for nearly an hour, but once he was thrown into the fray he showed why he is likely to play in the halves for the remainder of 2025.

‘When we looked at bringing him in immediately we probably thought he could fill a number of positions and he might be able to do that,’ Ciraldo said post game.
‘But he is predominantly a half and I thought he did a great job.
‘The learning is not over, he has been here a week. He still has a lot to learn.
‘But this has been a great start for him, we’re really proud of him and he has fitted in great.’
