Gallen tonight

[teflon77]

Is it just me or did anyone else think he was the best player on the field? I think because there was no real standouts they defaulted to Cameron Smith for man of the match honours. There is no way Smith outplayed Gallen.

 

[GO GO GALLEN!!]

i was just about the start a thread on the exact thing. not being bias but i picked him as man of the match easy. i hate how they just default to captian. he was bloody awesome, great to see him get a try on debut. im supprised birdy had a quite game. but he was still solid. i hope they both feel well enough to play this weekend

well done lads

i couldnt believe he didnt get it i messaged all my m8es saying gallen MOM and Cam smith got it **** me drunk, gallen would have made easily over 50 tackles and 20 hitups

 

[peachey]

yep..he was involved in everything, i think there wasnt one set of 6 he wasnt some how involved in..and that break he had was the shortest break in a while..well done to him

bird was a bit quite for his standards though..

 

[vicsharkfan]

i thought gallen as well
rekon gasnier and foluo had cam smith covered.......as well
even billy saved a couple of tries ??
hardly heard rabs or phil call smith much through the game..
wonder how thurston will go backing up??

 

[teflon77]

In Smith's defence I just reviewed his stats and he did make 50 tackles. I still think Gallen had more impact all the same.

 

[brad]

gallen was awesome. hope he carries it on for tomorrow night.
as for bird. he was farely quiet with limited opportunities

 

[teflon77]

Yeah, Bird played more of a distributing role tonight, fair enough considering that backline. A luxury compared to our backline, Birdy was probably cashing in his chips while he can.

50 tackles!!!
siiht i must be in a udl (vodka lime and soda for those who care) haze didn't take much notice ove him in defence!!!!
must ove got tips of dallas johnson on how to tackle into the 50's

 

[teflon77]

Tackle and kick. I didnt see much else to warrant man of the match.

 

[Megashark]

I thought Gal and Petero were by far the best forwards out there; Hoffman had his moments but I don't think Crocker did much to justify his selection ahead of Laffranchi.

 

[Jigsaw]

Cam Smith - 1 try 50 tackles 1 line break 2 missed tackles 0 hit ups 52m

Gallen - 1 Try 39 Tackles 1 Line Break 3 Missed Tackles 10 Hit ups 1 offload 89m

 

[Sunny_G]

im with u there megashark! petero and gallen easily best forwards!
i dont see why selectors keep putting kite in the team.. i dont rate him
and i dont see how laffranchi doesnt get in the team!

really disappointed in that game though! was expecting new zealand to do better
i think their halves did nothing at all
they should put luke and benji (once his back) in the halves and have halatau at hooker cause when he came on... his runs out of dummy half sparked the kiwi attack

 

[Jigsaw]

issac Luke needs to stay as a long term hooker. he was great

 

[Great White]

I thought he was really good to, better then there other halves.

For mine Gallen was MOM, he was everywhere.

 

[bort]

i gotta agree, MOM for gallen
oh well make up for it in ur next game gallen

i was happy with that result, id be really p!ssed/upset if aus lost
but didnt really want us to flog them

 

[fancyman]

i think gal would be sleeping well tonight.
i wonder wot time he flys to townsville.
i think he mite a bit buggered

 

[hardyards]

I Have to say i agree with most of you regarding Gallen... I thought the MOM selection was unfair. and I just read most of the reports on the game online and Gallen hardly got a mention anywhere, other than his try... was i watching i different game? i thought he was outstanding, particularly in defence.

 

[jedman1]

im just glad nobody seemed to notice him trying to eye gauge one of the defenders in the wrestle on the ground in one of his hit ups. The camera was right on it. just hope there is no review comittee for test matches.

 

[Shark4Eva]

Gallen definetely deserved man of the match, He was so strong in defence, you could hear the impact whenever he made a tackle, he scored a great solo try, where he easily pushed away fa'alogo and he made alot of strong runs.
