"I probably would have done it to any other player" - Gallen

[miccle]

The only saving grace from the low act IMO was the fact that it happened to Laffranchi. Couldn't have happened to a nicer f**kwit.

Doesn't matter, we will still probably have the wanker that said this as captain:

"You know St George won 11 premierships with one Raper, imagine how many Canterbury are going to win."

Classy

that was pretty funny imo

Who said you're not allowed to be critical of Lockyer? Having said that, being critical is one thing, but hanging onto something that happened 4 years ago and was publicly apologised for, (and clearly a mistake that was learned from) is a little more than being critical. Some might even call it being obsessive. Not to mention labelling the person a wanker when it was their only mistake in over 4 years of captaincy.

But don't let that get in the way of your self-righteousness.

Right, so if Gallen apologises for what he said, all is forgiven?

That must be the case, because joking about rape is certainly a few thousand rungs above a player saying that we would work over a players stitches on the footy field.

Guys like Wendall must have the same opinion as you do, the man must be protected at all costs.

Nice attempt at diverting the topic.

You made the statement that Lockyer is a wanker because he made an inappropriate comment 4 years ago. (not forgetting that he was comprehensively dragged over the coals for it) In effect you are attempting to compare his record to Gallen's.

You do realise that Gallen was suspended for his antics on the field and not his comments regarding them don't you? I'm pretty sure that most are disgusted with Gallen for his actions and not his words.

You still haven't justified your original statement. You're just trying to drag Lockyer down to Gallen's level.

Using your logic any player that ever said anything stupid is a wanker. I guess some people just can't let go.

"I probably would have done it to any other player"
What he did to Laffranchi on the field was discussed in the thread when it happened. This thread is about his comment that he would do it again. It was a ridiculous statement, but the amount of crap thrown at him needs to be put into context.

In terms of my opinion on him, it is my opinion.

I think the amount of crap thrown at him relates more to the smirking way he delivered the statement and not the actual content. Despite his words, he comes across as truly not resentful of his actions, and seems to have the opinion that he did nothing wrong, just that he got caught.

In terms of your opinion of him - refer to my first reply to you. It's your opinion and one you're entitled to.

No, no no! where did he say that?

Wasn't the first facial, won't be the last, put your fairy suits on boys, there's a pyjama party to go to.

It wasn't a facial. It was a deliberate attempt to open up a facial wound. Stop defending a scummy act.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

It'd be nice if Gallen got smashed on the weekend but it won't happen.

Yep thats the idea, otherwise he could have just bought him a gift voucher.

 

[Tunguska]

Wasn't scummy and in my view more needs to happen.

Gallen's bringin biff back.

Why?

 

[Johns Magic]

Gallen should be a definite for Origin this year.

 

[Inferno]

Point taken. But it's one thing to aim up at a bloke and hit him hard with a tackle or bump to test his shoulder/arm etc and it's another to give a bloke a facial trying to open him up again. One tactic is legal and within the laws of the game and the other is just a dog act whatever way you look at it.

Have to agree with you there, wearing my sky blue goggles, I didn't want to think there was anything in it outside a normal facial till Gallen came out and admitted it.

Certainly there is a difference but Timmah was the one making the point how wrong it was to target players injuries.

 

[Inferno]

Because the Tigers don't have anyone in their team capable of it.

Not that that will prevent them from towelling us up though
