If someones gonna pay him what he wants then good luck to him. A sports career is too short for that 1 man club sentiment IMO

Whos to say its in England may be a deal with an Aussie club with a job attached like Clinton has

Are you calling him a fatty?

If you are you're wrong. If Galea comes to you you'll get a top notch pro that will craft your youngsters and Pearson will probably give a coaching role too.

Both of his kids have been born in Hull, his family is obviously settled there, great business by Hull, idiocy by Rovers if this is how it pans out.

Edit-Sorry-AS

Name me a better second row at the club in the last twenty five years.

Galea is 34 , on one leg and atruggling for fitness.
His contribution and past worth cannot be questioned.
But it is time to let go.

Ive been made aware it's a one- year deal at West Tigers. He still has a lot of friends there.

Well if the rumour is right about galea going to the dark side Thats going to put a dampner on today's game will sandercock have had his orders not to play him, would be really really shocked if galea went across to the other side but who knows nowadays

Time to let go good player but we have had better over the years, pity he was not offered a coaching role but we will get on with out him, in 6 months we will say Benny who

Crikey. There's downgrading a player's stock because they've left Rovers, then there's lunacy.

Totally disagree with you benny has been an inspiration to rovers let's just remember he never wanted to leave rovers I was hoping if Chester was going to Catalan we'd have offered benny the asst coach job

Ben Galea's been one of, if not our best player since joining S/L imo. Id have liked the club to offer him 1 more year and maybe then the coaching role, if he goes to Hull I'd be suprised as its not in with AP's only signing the best young English players theory.

Why on Earth would we do that? Joining Hull FC is a professional choice, not some sort of crime. Loads of people have moved in one direction or the other, including some genuine greats.

Great player for us, top pro. Might well have another year in him.

But altogether now... 'we had his best years'

From a Hull FC POV, it seems a leftfield (that's not to say 'bad') option - If it's true - Skytext is saying he's 'not expected' to move to Hull.

Terrible lack of respect for someone who's continually been your stand-out player. Most FC fans over the years have acknowledged what a great player he is. I would take him at Hull for a year - players like Galea are hard to find. Under Gentle we would have a gem.

You'd better bookmark your statement for when Taylor leaves.

I feel Ben would be a strange signing for a supposed 'top team'. He would probably still command a reasonable salary and his chances of staying fit for a full season are slim at best. What have we had out of him this season 7/8 decent games?
You wouldn't see any of the top teams retaining a player of this age when he's just missed 2/3 of the season. It was a sensible decision by Rovers to let go.
If he goes to Hull good luck to him...but very risky signing.

Top pro, imo the best signing we've made in super league, and good luck to him wherever he goes, even if it's FC.
