well he just suffered what could be a season ending injury, what do you expect????

when you're emotional you tend to have irrational opinions.


maybe they should interview him in June.

*fixed typo* when you're paul gallen you tend to have irrational responses

Let's ban training too... In case you pull a hammy.

In all seriousness though if he did suffer a potentially season ending injury then he's obviously disappointed and said this in the heat of the moment. He may be a grub, but he's got more footy passion than just about anyone.

Gallen said:
In 2002, I did an ankle in trials, in '04 I hurt my hamstring. In '06 it was my back and in '07 I injured my ankle and missed nine games.
"It probably sounds like I'm whingeing and I know there are games like the Charity Shield and World Club Challenge, but trial games can give clubs a heap of injuries. Everyone holds their breath in trial games. Everyone just hopes players get through it unscathed.

Lots of keyboard hero's in this thread.

Tell ya's what. bag any player you want .. just admit that you wouldn't have the guts to say it to thier face.

Cheers.

I would. What will he do? Punch me in the face for telling the truth that banning trials is pointless. If you dont want to get injured....play chess.

I agree, it's a comment from someone who is not only frustrated but also extremely upset that he is once again injured for the curtain raiser.

The guy really loves the Sharks but more so his footy, you can quote me on that too.

Lol, sour grapes much? Why are we not allowed to comment on an internet forum? If you ban bagging players on a forum then we may as well close this place down.

I stand by my remark's that this bloke is a grub. Doesn't mean that he isn't a good footballer. In fact, most good footballers have that element of grub in them, but if you play dirty on the field you should expect a certain level of contempt for you from spectators of other teams.

Are you denying that Gallen is a grub?

As for his comments. There is always a certain element of people that call for Trials to be banned. I myself have said that this should be the case. Fact of the matter is that most players and coaches agree that they do get something out of trials so they are here to stay. I don't believe that anyone forces an individual club to partake in trial matches, so I guess the Sharks are welcome to give them a miss from here on in if they like. I bet they don't though.

Mate I'll tell you what, a grub to me is someone that doesnt have a go in life and leeches off people and blames everyone else for there own misfortunes, now I don't know what type of language you speak where you come from but thats my interpretation.

I realise that he's a big boofhead footballer and doesn't need me to defend him on a stupid message board but I will and I stand by my comments that you wouldn't have the seeds to call him a grub to his face, not that he would do anything either, just know that to be factual.

BTW he didint reach the highest point in the game by being a a poor sportsman, or grub as you want to call it. Quite the opposite.

Ah Gallen, I love what he does - he selflessly makes himself look like the dirtiest, grubbiest man alive and then comes out with a whinge every now and then just to give you more reason to hate him, and hating the opposition is an important thing in sport, so I thank you Gallen.

There is nothing you can ever do or say to change the minds of 99% of league supporters who have witness countless acts of his disgusting and dirty foul play. He's a f*cking joke.

Because you said no one would have the courage to say anything to his face. What would he do to me? Pull off my bandaids?

I know it's hard but try and keep up.

"How much is that air conditioning unit? I think thats expensive!!"

Wow you really told him didnt you?

The things we hate in others is a reflection on oneself usually, who kicked sand in your face?

Well what is Gallen doing here? Blaming the fact that there are trials!
What he could have said was "This is a bit of bad luck, but if its going to happen it is better to happen now than in the middle of the season"
But nooooo...Paul doesnt think.

A grub to me is someone who deliberately rips stitches out of someones face to try and put them off their game.

My heart bleeds for gallen it truly does. I hope he's out for the 12 weeks instead of the two.
