the BEST analysis of Gallen came from Mark Gasnier talking about whether Gallen should be in Origin team a couple of months ago...
He said he should, but he takes the easy metres from the good ball that should be going wide, and NSW needs a strong-willed halfback who will say 'oi, nick off Gal, get out of the way, its coming to me'
such a good statement. I'm not suggesting that Gallen only takes easy ball, as i know he does a lot of the hackwork too...but he and Bird get way too involved when they should 'nick off'.
We all know Myles was pretty useless this year, but LG played his very best when Bird was not playing.
