I have had enough of him. Refuse to cheers against NSW but if we get beaten 50-nil tonight I might just crack a smile.
Tough, uncompromising and gives 100% but a ballhog with limited natural ability. Will never be remembered as anything but a 'trier'.
Says he doesn't whinge like the Maroons.....yet has been in the paper almost every day for the past two weeks having a whinge about something. Says that this game isn't about him.....but he's been in the paper and on TV and radio for the past 2 or so weeks enough times talking about it and himself to try and make hit all about him. Least successful NSW Origin captain in history (not counting the single games of 1980-81). IMO the Blues will be better off without him from next year.
Disregarding anything that he says, he is a fantastic footballer. Tough and uncompromising. We could well do with his ilk in the Maroon & White Marshmellow pack
Should be playing reserve grade. Only reason he makes and meters is coz he hogs the ball. He is also a drug cheat and a grub on and off the field. Can't wait until he retires.
Like many Manly champions over the years, tough , uncompromising, controversial and hated. There'd be a different vibe if he'd played in maroon and white. Champion !!!
He's tried hard you can't deny that, but how do we think of rewarding him? I don't get the logic, same with Farah and Bird, they have given their all, it hasn't been enough, you don't celebrate them as greats. You can say he's tried his nuts off, but talk from his dad of him being an immortal is ridiculous. He's not in the top 10 forwards in the last 10 years. He is a contradiction in many ways, and I do think what he says about the qlders as poor winners is true, but would he be any better? I doubt it.
This thread is quite surprising. I honestly think he is an absolute champion. A tough hard running old head with a passion for the blues shirt know one could argue. Hope he has a blinder in his last SOO game tonight!
As is usual some of you guys are very hard markers!! Far from the greatest ever NSW forward but you can't deny he puts in!!
Although.....if he shows up tonight with a half decent game, and NSW go close to winning, Gallen is guaranteed the Ch9 MOTM....put the house on it.
