Paul Gallen

[Big Pete]

As great a talent as he is I just don't believe they suit our culture and they're better off staying one club players for the sake of the game.

I'm big on developing our own players and I believe our backrow is great just the way it is.

Besides, wouldn't it be weird to see the NSW captain play for a Qld club side?

 

[Professor47]

He has taken his grubbiness out of the game that is for sure - certainly not like before... it seems lately he has been letting his football do the talking.

Massive game - can't say it has been the most dominate, I've seen Pricey pull similar performances... but best NSW forward performance for a long loooooooong time.

The only thing about Gallen is - you have to know when to step back so you can let the halves play... I dont think that will be a problem for NSW though.

blurch! If I read one more love fest about how wonderful Paul Gallen is and how he is the toughest ever player in the history of the universe I will vomit.

Until this year he was the 2nd biggest grub of all time only after Ben Elias. [icon_shru [icon_non

 

[Charmamba]

And he was always a grub, but to his credit he has cleaned up his act in a big way.

Indeed. But, the way they're carrying on....

WTF?

That article is ridiculous. They're acting like they have never seen a good prop before. Don't get me wrong, Gallen played awesome in game 2 but ffs, our props have been absolutely dominating for the last couple of years, have they not been watching?

 

[Fozz]

Qld props have been dominating. This is a whole new thing for NSW.

Who was the last good prop for the Blues? Paul Harragon? Glenn Lazarus?

 

[Black Philip]

Harragon was an overrated cat.

 

[Big Pete]

Luke Bailey was always good I thought - especially earlier on where he was outplaying Webcke.

Consistently great, Lazarus or the Chief who unfortunately suffered the commentator's curse.

 

[Nashy]

Harragon was an overrated cat.

Overrated isn't a strong enough word. He was fucking hopeless.

 

[mrslong]

Lazarus was a machine. He's the only one that you can really rate along side the big Petero, Webcke & Price.

You couldn't put Gallen in with that class yet imo. His game was outstanding....but he hasn't even won a series yet.

It's a Phil Rothsfield story. What did you expect? Buzz has been fellating Gallen since before he was good.

I know, the sharks fan that he is. But he's not the only one.
