Dell admitted his mistake and has spent countless hours in community service advising on the dangers of drugs and helping to educate against making the same mistake he made. To date I have yet to see Gallen or any other Cronulla player or official in the spotlight (Seymour, Bird, Matua, Zappia, Latu) accept responsibility for their actions and work as hard to overcome the adversity. To the contrary, they seem to relish in being portrayed as the victim. That's why Dell is a favourite, and Gallen is still a grub.
Regarding Soward, the last time he was hit in the head he was knocked unconscious, suffered damage to his teeth, did not attend the post match function and his girlfriend was requested to remain in his company overnight by the coaching staff in case of further problems. Contrast this with Gallen who hit the ground like an Italian striker, looked at the ref, closed his eyes, and got to his feet grinning and winking after the penalty was awarded.
