It appears not many have noticed that Galea actually makes more yards than most forwards each drive and probably only second to Houghton when it comes to tackles made.

He will be missed.

Does he? Because according to the SL stats page Green, O'Meley, Lynch, Watts, Pitts, Johnson, and Westerman all make more.

He's also behind Lynch and Westerman for tackles made. If you look at tackles per game, he's behind those 2 plus Whiting, Johnson, Tickle, and Watts (with 3 of those typically playing less minutes than him). And in terms of tackles missed as a percentage of overall tackles, he's behind all of those bar Tickle, plus O'Meley as well.

But other than that he's been ace.

But apart from all that he makes more yards and more tackles

I do not like seeing anyone get injured & from what I saw he seemed to 'put his body on the line' yesterday. Overall I thought that he played well. I liked the little 'kick throughs' that he did in the second half & if I recall correctly, one such kick resulted in a try to us.

Whether he is a regular in the starting line-up is another issue.

I always thought he was meant as a backup signing. I think had Ellis not been injured we would have seen a lot less of him by now. Particular once Tickle had returned from injury.
