Tap on the Shoulder Time

[++ Gregos v.4]

Gal can play as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned.

 

[shadowboxer]

f**k me even Gal should know it's time to hang them up.

Whose going to tap him on the shoulder though? Bring back the Ben Pom

 

[carcharias]

He should really retire after winning the grand final this year.

 

[Eion]

He should retire after going back to back titles next year.

 

[Special K]

He looks incredibly slow when we are on the back foot. I really hope he hangs them up this year.

 

[Omnishark2]

Gal will never make the decision to retire himself - the club will have to tap him on the shoulder in a respectful way.
It's his competitive instinct.
But I agree with others - 2018 clearly has to be his final year, the writing's been on the wall for a while.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Yep, when your best player last week, makes a few uncharacteristic errors(dropped balls) it doesnt matter that he saved 3 trys, missed zero tackles, made 40 & made the most hit ups & the most post contact metres, the writing is on the wall.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Might be an idea to give him a rest this week he must be exhausted.

 

[Eion]

he’s still got a lot to offer, especially in middle defence.

If he’s stinking up our attack it’s the halves and hookers fault.

No, it MUST be Val's fault, just ask DTTC, he'll find a way to prove it for you...

Whats a Val? the guy going to the Cowboys? Im looking towards the future.

LOL

All good.

I want to keep him. You don't.

But I am also excited to hear of players like Xerri coming through, and Katoa does look good for someone so inexperienced.

Haha Reefy you are dreaming ... and it's not just the Souths game where Gal has been off the pace, it's been evident all year.
Nobody's ever questioning Gal's effort ... but age has caught up with him.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Im just interested in how you are measuring that? Flanno seems to think that hes our best? Week in week out.

 

[Inferno]

I'm not saying you would bench him, I'm just saying you pay him #14-#17 money. So somewhere in the order of 300 - 400K. It would be well down on his peak value, but he's getting past his peak performance.

Inferno he’ll be turning 38 next year.

We have players like Jack Williams & Scott Sorensen ready to step up.

Others like Briton Nikora and Billy Magoulias coming through.

We don’t want to be losing that talent because Gal stayed two years too long.
