Young / Creagh / Merrin > Gallen

even Tupou > Gallen

Creagh?

Young??

Merrin???

Tupou????

I'd have Gallen at the Tigers in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't have Young or Tupou if they were free and I wouldn't like Creagh because he has a reverse gear when there's a stink on that makes the Italian Army in WWII envious.

It is easier to look good and stand out in a terrible team, why can't you see that?

Creagh and Young have to compete with each other for wraps from pundits and they both play well week in and week out and still stand out as greats of the game this season. Merrin also has started standing out which is quite amazing considering he is a rookie of the year candidate.

Gallen is an above average player but nothing special like some seem to think.
Creagh isn't meant to be a fighter when there is a fight on he is employed as a rugby league player, maybe if Gallen learned this he would be a better player.

Jared, an example of a player who is ridiculously overrated would be Timana Tahu. You need to rethink why you believe Gallen is thought of too highly. Is it his ability to to play 80 mins of tough, uncompromising footy where he regularly makes up to and over 200m a game with 20 or so hit ups, 30 to 40 tackles per week, offloads the ball regularly and is just a tough bastard that puts him in the "overrated" category?????

Why can't you understand? Gallen is the only forward who does any work at the Sharks so that's why he makes so many metres and tackles (also missed tackles and errors); if you combined all the forwards stats at the Dragons (they work together not just by themselves like Gallen) their stats would be greater.

Young makes Ennis look like Steve Edge.

Creagh is a decent player but is a pea heart. On the biggest stage he took off like a mouse who'd just seen an Eagle swooping. I can't recall ever seeing anything like it from a bloke his size before.

On the plus side, he'd be a God in AFL.

Gallen is top shelf.

Just admit you're a biased Saints fan and piss off.

That's just simply not a sane post.
