| Every (most) players sign for a club because of money.
Some are less obvious than others.

60404_1375165563.png Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and proudly proclaiming `Wow, what a ride`:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_60404.png |

| Every faith in all that PG does. Don`t forget that Andy Hay also has an input along with Sean Mac. These signings have been talked about long and hard over the season. Galea was on our radar years ago when Steve Crooks was still here. Time will tell but an astute signing all the same. Gonna prove a thing or two to the Dwarf next season of that there is no doubt. Three derby victories on the horizon I reckon and consolidate our place in the top six by a place or two.

| Good player but disappointing that we have obviously missed out on other signings and the guy will be 35 when he is with us and an overseas player. Can see him missing a big chunk of the season with injuries so hope we haven't paid the reported £100k for him
Have to say that I don't think next season's side will turn out to be as strong as I thought it might be a few weeks ago as we seem to have missed out on some key targets - paea, bateman, whitehead and maybe chase

Tickle and Galea at the moment are better backrow forwards than Bateman and Whitehead.
Longer term they will be better, but we will be stronger next season with these two than the two you have mentioned.
Also if we keep O Meley, losing out of Paea isnt so bad.
It give the club another year to replace these players internally or externally.

And were expecting to sign 2 or more forwards?
How many injuries are we expecting, I just don't see where he'll fit in'"
Having 2 injuries at once would hardly be a huge shock, we just need to make sure it doesn't become a crisis again.
Good signing IMO, some of the lines he runs in attack are outstanding.

If he can stay fit and we got him on a similar wage, then even though Aspinwall has done a good job, Galea is an upgrade.

| A total waste of salary cap and pointless signing. Almost 35, injury prone and overweight.

| Don't understand this injury prone talk, he played 17 games this year and only missed the first 9 games with one injury, only missed one other game this year. A long with the fact he has played well over 20 games the previous 7 years in SL and the NRl, shows he not an injury prone player.
Joe Westerman has played less games than him this year, is he injury prone?

| A solid signing for us. Experienced, defensively as hard as nails (and our centres do need some help in that way), a very good leader and will work his backend off.
A one year deal is right - and maybe he will show the way to roll out the Welcome to Hull sign for his buddy and former team mate who is coming out of contract next season.
In Gentle we trust.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| I truely hope he goes well for you next year.
Yes, it's true, Benny G has (past tense) been Rovers through and through, but the bloke is a consumate professional. When he pulls on your shirt you'll get nothing less than his best.
When things look dangerous in defence and the ball is in the three quarter area and someone puts in an outstanding tackle that shuts the opposition down, if it's down his side a high percentage of the time it will be Galea who affects the tackle.
Good Ben.

| Would have loved us to sign him for a year to lead our pack, OK some risks with his age and fitness but he is a real battle hardened pro who will be desperate to get on the field for you in what I am sure he will see as his swansong!
Very disappointed about Tickle, but he was always your player until the Club agreed otherwise, whether other signings could change that now seems doubtful, given the definitive statement Mr Pearson has made!

Shame the dwarf failed to acknowledge that at your POY awards lastnight and didn't give him a mention or allow him the platform to speak. Hear he also took a few swipes at Bradford as well. What a class act,not. ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)
