Gallen is showing why Forwards should generally keep their mouths shut. Although he is somewhat right about paying "overs" his example in Foran is just a coincidence, Foran was given a golden handshake by his previous Coach and if in any other industry would probably be considered fraud and criminal. Back to paying players "overs" and the part where he should just shut up. The NRL playing pool is most likely at the weakest in regards to talent then it ever has been. There's not enough genuine talent for the amount of teams we have. Add this to a rather high salary cap, mix in that the players have all the power and it's a bad recipe.
What we have is average players getting paid way more then their talent offers (Ash Taylor, Shaun Johnson and a 100 more). The NRL allows some clubs to stockpile all the talent, enough to fill 2 teams while the gap gets bigger for the other clubs trying to compete. When a marquee player or an unproven "next big thing" comes along the bottom feeders are forced to throw stupid money at them in order to try and become competitive. We have already seen many times over 10% of a club's salary cap being thrown to just one player. Most of the time it seems to fail for the club. So Gallen's comment of simply stop paying over's is just a stupid comment from someone who was hit a million times past the no return mark. Add in his peptide regime, salary cap cheating club and the fact he was paid "overs" than you have a garden variety dumbshit, hypocrite that probably can't spell his name!
