The issue with Gallen is he has insinuated that ASADA have done this to get publicity. He has claimed that he knows from experience that they are just there to make a name for themselves.

That's why his opinion will be targeted more than other commentators. Gallen does have issues with ASADA and what he perceives as unprofessionalism from them.

I think Gallen needs to take his personal bias out of this one.

Unrelated, but how bizarre to inject another animals blood into your veins. Unless it makes you grow an extra dick, what is the appeal

To be fair, it isn't literally just straight blood. That would be incredibly dangerous. It's highly processed to remove anything that is not compatible.

My issue is that it hasn't really been tested effectively for a medical use, and that any suggested benefit is questionable at best. It's seemingly a worthless injectable version of those Power Balance wristbands or cupping.

Athletes swear by it, but it's a placebo effect.

I get the feeling Gallen is going to be another Back door Benny. By that I mean, he will be the x player they will go to when they want to drum up a controversial headline. Both have a lot in common in the IQ department

To be fair, Gallen hasn't made an awful business deal that has destroyed the club like Benny did with the Balmain Tigers. I'll take Gallen only having a whinge on TV over anything like that POS Ben Elias.

You might be right.

But one thing strikes a cord with me about what Gallen is referring to, and that was that pip squeak politician Jason Clare & Richard Ings who stood up at that press conference with all that "darkest day in sport" business. Both milked it for all it was worth to promote themselves.

That league's club development was utterly insane from the get go.

Apparently coach Morris said that if he had known earlier about Xerri positive drug test he would never had release Morris to the Roosters

What a shit move from WADA. I would cut ties with WADA. I mean the whole country should. They are probably corrupt.
The NRL should write to WADA every month and say hey you fat merkins have you got any positive tests you are sitting on waiting for state of origin to come around or whatever. Tell us know or go sit on it.

Also Gallen comes across as knowing what he is and isn't best suited for, so I doubt he would go into doing dodgy property deals like Benny somehow. I think he knows his career future is likely to be in commentating. No I'm not trying to say Gallen is dumb, or incapable or anything like that, merely I think he knows to what occupations his personal skills/talents/experience are best suited to is all.

Yeah, let the NRL cut ties with WADA. Then watch as all State Governments and the Federal Government withdraw all Government funding from rugby league. All Government funding is contingent with being code compliant with WADA. If WADA were after publicity they'd be doing this in the big world sports (e.g. UK Premier League, NFL, NBA) - not the NRL in Australia.
