Gallen = Overrated?

[Spot On]

I guess that's why they dropped Benny boy from origin and brought Gallen in. Oh, wait, NSW are a sh*t team and a player of Ben Creagh's standard is too talented to run around for them. Have a look at the two player's hit up, tackles and offload stats champ. Gallen's a workhorse and so he should be as he plays lock. He doesn't shirk his task. He is one of the best at it.

I understand a lot of people here like Gallen but if he is so good then why didn't the Sharks finish higher on the table this year and as I previously said how much easier is it to stand out and look good playing on a poor team than a good one.

 

[Jared_the_Dragon]

Creagh has a niggling injury so they didn't want to risk him in Origin for most of this year.

but i reckon you're smart enough to answer your own question reasonably.

Are you saying Gallen didn't stand out in his origin performances this year. Mate if NSW had a good prop rotation their forward pack - with Gallen and Bird at the back - would be incredible.

Jamie Soward is the biggest nuffie in rugby league history

there is a distinct possibility that jared is indeed mentally geniused.

but i'd back him to either tie his shoelace or count to 2 before you.

You will find many do not 'like' Gallen at all, but respect his ability.

 

[Dazraider]

Every thread is a bait thread.

Every post is a bait post.

One could, if one was inclined, be of the opinion that my posts were simply bait to try and get the odd nancy-boy, sheep shagging N-Sync reject to bite.

Know one do you?

jared is one of god's own prototypes

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I wonder if he has aides?

Mate, you are going to have to dig a f**king huge hole in a minute.

State of Origin 2, 2010
P. Gallen
Hit ups - 11 (next best was 9 by TLL and LOD)
Tackles - 19
All runs - 14 (second most for NSW behind Hayne)
Metres made - 112m (2nd best behind Hayne of course)

State of Origin 3, 2010
P. Gallen
Hit ups - 17 (most by far for NSW, next best 9 G. Bird)
Tackles - 27 ( second highest for NSW)
All runs - 21 (most for NSW)
Metres made - 162m (3rd best behind Bird and Hayne)


Seems to play alright with and against the best as well.

And Weyman was f**king useless in Origin this year - again!

Game set and match to Spot On.:lol:

Already spoke about why those stats look better than they actually are, easy to stand out and get good stats in a poor team - harder to in a good one.

Seriously,

Watch every game this year, and mark every player out of 10.

Then add the scores........for each player.

I'll bet that Gallen is the highest poller.

The bloke is a machine.....

Jared, Jared, Jared.

So few posts and already so much disrespect from your fellow forumers.

You're a saints supporter, so it might be hard for you to understand that other teams outside the Dragons actually have good players, including the Sharks. Gallen is a grub of the highest order, but he is an excellent footballer. He might even take out the Dally M tonight.

You'd do well here to eat humble pie.
