I think him playing as he did is in the best interest of the side. I do think he needs a 10-15 minute breather before half time if he is going to play prop. 80 minutes all season at prop will burn him out way too quick. Keep him to 65-70 minutes and I reckon we could have a very potent front row.

He can play anywhere in the back bar hooker, so however we use our props and forwards, he can move and adjust.

His best game is played by running straight, no silly passes, or off loads, just run hard. Tackle harder.....

GAL WAS SO GREAT TONIGHT!

Yeah he needs a spell

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Put him in for 80, add origin and test match......imagine if we made the 8, how ****ed he'd be by then....

Gallen dropped the ball tonight on the last possession. Pardon the pun

Yes. I really hate this 80-minute prop thing. Sure Gal's a beast and we all know he'll soldier on no matter what, but it will eventually take its toll on him. And I don't want to go into the finals without Gal in top form.

got to love him , but at the end he was running on adrenalin and ball control does not come into that equation.he has to be given ten min brake somewhere

10 before half time....that gives him a 15-20 minute breather before 2nd half. Comes back fresh for a huge 40 minutes......If we are killing it with 10 to go, rest him.....The more rest he gets now, the better he will be later. 80 at prob should only be done if 1 of the other props is injured

its getting him to actually come off the field is the hardest part I reckon...probably say nah **** you

 

[Jay]

Gallen should be excused from training for his effort tonight

 

[josh11223344]

well done gal! great game!

 

[DeathMoth]

if Gal doesn't want a rest, then he doesn't need a rest. the bloke is a warrior.

Thats true. But if his performance is going to drop because of fatigue later on in the season because he goes out and played 80 minutes plus a week at prop, then come the back end of the season when we are making a run for the final, or in the finals, he will be ****ed. If he is too proud to come for a breather for 10 now, he wont have finals footy to worry about...

Even if he was he still wouldn't miss it

got to agree there...time management for sure

 

[ABshark]

Manage him for sure. Even he would realise that. Tonight was certainly not the night though.

Certainly wasn't a hindrance either... immense game.
