A mate of mine is a first grade touchy and he reckons all the refs can't stand him and Bird for their niggles and cheap shots.

Bad. He would be an even more damaging player if he could get that niggle out of his game and just concentrate on playing good footy.

 

[brently]

i don't know but i know they got one thing right; hayne - it's official. if you want to keep blowing your whistle, go and get a sunday paper route.

 

[Inferno]

Good.

Rather teams hate playing us than looking forward to it.

 

[the_prawn]

good within reason.

as long as he can keep it under control then it is an easy way too get your opponent off their game.

this tactic has been around for years and will never be kicked out of our game. i think this is one of the reasons he is so effective as a player. and look at it this way, i would rather him play for us than against us

lets just thank the little baby jesus that it (niggling) isn't as bad as in the AFL.

 

[GO GO GALLEN!!]

nah good tactics, only a bad thing if it costs us lots of penalties and MORE suspensions

 

[Megashark]

Well it has cost us a few penalties and suspensions so far...now that he has the captaincy, it is his job to lead by example and as he himself has admitted on more than one occasion, he needs to tidy his act up.

 

[fancyman]

i think Gallen is a over rated niggler

 

[Great White]

I think he shoudl let his football do the talking, not niggling.

 

[Jenni]

Once again I had a quick through the news feed - sorry if I missed it -
I thought I would add this to one of the million Gallen threads...

Why Gallen doesn't care if he's the despair of the marketing department.

He's been called a 'grub' elsewhere in this newspaper - but this Shark has another side only a few see, writes Andrew Webster.

What you might not know is how three years ago he met a five-year-old leukaemia sufferer, Bailey. How he remains in touch. Drops around at his house uninvited. Plays PlayStation with him. Stands on the sidelines for his first game back since the disease went into remission. Drags him to the Sharks' game against Wests Tigers two weeks ago. Wishes he wasn't in the sheds copping orders from Ricky Stuart while Bailey plays on the field at half-time for the Holy Family Aquinas Colts under-8s …

[Great White]

I have heard his brother is a tool though, who lives off his famous brothers rep.

 

[chunk67]

ive got a sneaky suspicion that paul is also a fukn knob but he can play

 

[Great White]

Mate I can confirm it, 3 years ago, it was Bird who was the knob and Gal the good one, now that has changed, I can tell you that for sure.
