Tap on the Shoulder Time

[Card Shark]

When its time for him to go, he will know. Right now , There is nothing stopping him for going around again next year.

That’s exactly why he will need a tap on the shoulder because with his competitive nature, he will never give up.

 

[Card Shark]

You have a habit of grandiose statements filled with BS and personal opinion that you pass off as fact, in order to support your own position.

 

[Inferno]

No one is saying sack him now. That is ridiculous. But just because he put in one blinder doesn't mean you re-sign him when half THIS season is still in front of us.

For those laughing at the idea of tapping him on the shoulder, how much do you think he's worth this year, and how much would you re-sign him on next year?

Still waiting for someone to answer this question...

110%.
Loyalty is not a Cronulla supporter trait. in fact you read threads like this & you feel like you are in the ST George forum. The greatest Shark ever getting tapped on the Shoulder , because bennet made it cool.

You've swayed me.
I'm now Deferring to the Coit

Its irrelevant as he costs us nothing out of the salary cap. he could be on $2 or $2million IDGAF. & we have no other players to put the LSPA towards. Which will be Graham.

Gal plays. As long as he wants. Period. You blokes all scream about loyalty, show some back. Give him the good grace to go out on his terms. He skull dragged this team through some of the darkest years, yet you want to move him on. Drives me wild.

Gal got paid very well for his time here. It's not like he did a Gavin Miller for us. In his prime every contract negotiation was a struggle.

Also, I can't speak for others, however it's not about wanting him to move on cause I don't want him, it's more about his legacy. For people actually at the game, watch him off the ball, stuff the camera doesn't pick up. It's obvious he's working his arse off to keep up. Which he is, cause he's Gal. However I doubt he will be able to do that next year, since he's struggling to do it this year.

He's got his 9 contract, he should focus on that.

You don't know how the LSPA works do you?

Spot on Rubiks !
It's been obvious all year for those at the ground.

Ever think he is nursing his knee? Ever think that the medical staff have insisted that he play reduced minutes to get him through a longer healing period? Ever think that his explosive fitnees may be down because he hasnt run in 12 weeks?
Nah. didnt think so.

Wrong.

Sure - so in other words Gal's body will no longer let him perform at his previous exceptional levels.
There's no shame in that, he is 37, and has been a warrior for us for a long, long time.
Which is why Gal should be convinced to bow to reality & have a great last year in 2018.

 

[SharkShocked]

It really wouldn't surprise me if he pulls up stumps at the end of this year anyway.

Looks more and more disinterested in the questions at each press conf. Jokes around a bit with Flanno at times.

Has a bit of the old grumpy look at times does the old Gal.

Reckon he's not going around another year.

Definitely not 100% fit at the moment though.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Wrong.

In what way will gallen cost us a cent in 2019? or , who else is there to take advantage of long serving player allowance in 2019? Graham is the oldest & hes a year away.

Graham is next year
Actually Lewis gets some as well.
Edit again, Prior can get some too

Yep.

 

[carinashark]

He is a tough competitor, on the field and at the contract table. He is blue,black and white as any of our greats but I hope he gives it away at the end of the season. Just so I can remember him as Gal and we can move on, as we must.

Gimme some of that so I can buy a piece of Gal Towers, then make a profit so I can blow it all on a coke deal

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Tap! Tap!

Hey Gallen when we are trying to win a game with not much time left to go get the f**k out of the way.

FMD talk about a momentum killer!

Let’s get the ball through the hands.

No Gal wants a hit up on the 4th tackle.

FMD!

 

[snout]

Minutes on the clock....

We need to score...

Backline is stretched...

Playmakers calling...

Broncos struggling to form a line..

4 tackles gone...

We can do this...

Hang on...



Gal hits it up.

The slowest plodder in the side.

Smart.

Not.

 

[sandshark]

I honestly believe Flanno will give him another season. I swear Gallen had mentioned he was in talks with the club for another go around.

 

[Card Shark]

It’s all part of the game plan men!!
