This is one of those games neither team deserves 2 points.

[Makaveli]

This is all because that **** winger dropped it cold

How bad does Gavin Cooper look these days. Everything he does looks in slow motion.

[Makaveli]

No way Cronulla deserved to win that game

Both teams are terrible

No worse than Gallen. Time for him to retire. Can't get the job done anymore.

Have to agree, both were poor.

Gallen is still more effective than Cooper.

[gerg]

Gallen 240 odd run metres and 37 tackles. Say what you want about him but he still puts in. Prettu ordinary game from both sides.

He’s an absolute warrior, and 37 years old too.

Occasional drug cheat as well

Should have been on the sidelines for four seasons with Sandor Earl. He's a self admitted drug cheat.

Mack Horton would be shaking his hand or standing on the podium with him.

[yeh raiders]

What’s your point? He’s not influenced by those drugs anymore and hasn’t been for a long time.

Hudson Young goes alright though doesn't he?

My point is he shouldn't have played for the four seasons between the end of 2014 and 2018 and should never have been allowed to play, along with other Sharks players, in their tainted premiership season of 2016. That's my point.

He took his suspension. He's learning. I've met him and he's a good young bloke.

Yawwwnnnnnn.

The drug program was administered by the clubs medical team. They orchestrated the cheating, not Paul Gallen.

The athletes are responsible for what they put into their bodies under the WADA code. Fully and completely responsible. Paul Gallen was completely responsible and admitted to being a drug cheat.

What we saw in that case was the dirt swept under the carpet.

I don't see you labelling him a drug cheat everytime his name is mentioned.

He did he time and accepted his punishment. As did Clinton Schifcofske. None of the Cronulla players did. Not one of them.

Here's a question for you... why do you feel a need to defend Paul Gallen every time his name is mentioned. Every time it is pointed out he is a self acknowledged drug cheat?

They all served the punishment that was dished out to them. Should they have volunteered to suspend themselves for longer than told to?

We all know that justice for a self admitted drug cheat does not involve a three game suspension. Are you saying it was just that one player was suspended for four years when every other player got a small rap on the knuckles?

Regardless, he's a self admitted drug cheat, but you consistently wish to defend him when it is pointed out. Why?

[Northern Raider]

Geez how can anybody (other than Sharks fans) possibly defend the penalty dished out to Sharks players? They were given something like 14 months suspension that was BACKDATED!!! They basically played through their entire suspension. How the **** does that work? It was beyond farcical.

[gerg]

Most of the rugby league community has moved on with their lives, why can't you guys? It's more pathetic than the punishment dished out to the sharks players.

Exactly.

Happy to move on. Couldn't believe the topic was even raised, let alone argued extensively. That was Makaveli's fault. He threw the grenade then bolted.

Yeah, it's unbelievable that anyone is defending those suspensions, it was rubbish stuff.

Ferg is absolutely 100% spot on here.

It's difficult to throw the book at someone when you don't have enough evidence. I've always wondered why there was no scrutiny of Manly. Dank was with them much longer, and from memory during years they won premierships.
