BREAKING: the career of another @Wests_Tigers 2005 "miracle" title win is over - @BennyGalea is set to retire after tearing his pec muscle

Here here.

Ben has done his part for us this year. Too many see his recent previous employer and let it cloud their judgement.

Don't really agree, McDonnell was at Rovers last year and he has been one of our best this season imo, whereas I think Galea has plodded and stifled our attack somewhat, I think he's just gone a year too many.

That said the effort is always there and his experience will have helped the youngsters. Always a shame when any player has to call it a day due to injury.

Great shame for a him to end it on an injury, fantastic player for us and will go down as one of our best imports.

Never seemed to work out that well for FC, maybe for a number of reasons, I always thought it was a season too many as his injury record with us was getting worse year on year. But I think the way FC set up attack never suited him. He used to run some fantastic lines for us and played off Dobsons shoulder very well,

Thanks Ben for all your efforts for us, and dare I say it Hull KR. Great servant to Hull's Rugby League.

I agree with that, but that said, I don't think we will miss him too much either

Sad way for Benny to end, been a fantastic RL player and it's shame he never got to see the season out.

My sentiments too.

Wonder if he'll stay on as assistant coach? He seems perfectly suited to coaching. Is he likely to want to stick around in Hull after the end of this season if he had a job?

That was my thoughts, seems him and PG have a good relationship and respect for each other.

Sounds like he brought a great attitude and mental toughness to the team, which can't be a bad thing.

However I do think he has tried to push his body a year too far.

His wife is telling people they are going home, so don't think he'll be on the coaching team for us next year.

Officially confirms his retirement.

Sad way to bow out. I wish him well for the future, shame he didn't come to Hull earlier in his career. Often caused us problems when we faced him.

stupid signing, keeping better players out. Sad end to a career, but he wont be missed.
