Galea needs catching lessons. ive never seen anyone drop a ball soo much

Galea, a penalty machine? Ellis conceded two more than Ben.

Looked rusty, but did good minutes and worked his bollox off.

Thought Galea did reasonably well tonight, I'm sure he didn't expect to play so many minutes, and I only remember him dropping one ball on a crash near their line where he'd have been under the sticks if he took it.

Yeaman isn't in great form and should have passed to Holdsworth, but he's still much better than Arundle; who struggles in defence and isn't much better in attack.

Thought Galea was ok tonight, but did make a few errors. Actually better than many of his performances earlier in the season, he just still stood out because of how well everyone else around him was playing.

With Yeaman, I think people are going a bit OTT for tonight. Yes, he should have passed, and yes, it was his miss for the try, but people should bear in mind that he was carrying the vast majority of Briscoe's defensive and bringing the ball out work for 60 minutes. People make the case that Briscoe struggles because he doesn't have a good centre, but nobody's made the reverse point for Yeaman tonight. He played that centre/wing practically on his own for an hour and conceded only 6 points, that's some going in my book.

Not having a good season, but has been better since coming back from injury than he was at the start of the season.

Rather have Aspinwall back.

Great post that. Also people bagging galea need to get over their rovers prejudice. Takes that crash ballI hes in. Totally creamed a couple in defence and grafted well. Especially for a 1st game

Great post pal, spot on.

We don't use Galea to his strength in my opinion. Get him running on the angle at the line and he is unstoppable. And with Green out for a while by the looks of it, the Galea will slot in nicely I think. Cant question his work rate

Don't worry about him. He courts controversy. Probably late 40's to mid 50's with his life passing him by....

Thought he'd did okay. Just looked a bit rusty. It's not his fault we don't utilise his strengths enough.

Doesn't really seem to fit into the way we play but I thought he stood up when it mattered in his last stint

I think it is a worry that as soon as Galea is available, he is back in the team. when Whiting and Tickle are back i don't want to see Galea in there.

I'd be concerned of there had been someone else available last night to leave him out more easily. When more are back, then I'll be disappointed if he's still playing.
