Congratulations Ben Galea.

Congratulations to former Tiger, Ben Galea, on being named captain of Hull KR in 2012.

Yes i concur Chris. I always thought he was very underrated. he was a workhorse with a great step and a solid defender. How old would he be now as seems like he has been around a long time.

I would like to congratulate Ben Galea as well, he was always a very consistent player for us, and very underrated, so this is great news that he is now captain of Hull. By the way Ben was born in 1978\. :righton:

Yep great player for us Still think he was a tad unlucky not to get the Clive Churchill Medal in 2005 and the tackle on Matt Bowen was crucial in the 2005 GF win

Congrats Benny! Unlucky that during his years in the sun that all NSW had to offer were second rowers. Should have played Origin.

One of our Best… Left too early.

Well Done Ben!!!

Good stuff Ben have a great 2012

Another Sheens experiment that hindered ones career…Was he a hooker, second rower, center or five eight?..very un derrated player who would've been a star had he played in one position.

 

[tigers05]

A great clubman who wasnt underrated by his peers and definitely a star in Wests Tigers town

 

[tigerbenji]

He always gave his best & left to early, & that tackle on Bowen was a big play.

Another Sheens experiment that hindered ones career…Was he a hooker, second rower, **center** or five eight?..very un derrated player who would've been a star had he played in one position.

When did he ever play centre??

And he played about two games at hooker under Sheens - the rest at back-row!

Stop using BS to try to hammer Sheens - Galea was extremely highly regarded by Tim, the coaching staff, his team-mates and myself!!!!

Galea has done a U turn and reversed his decision to retire. Was just on the Super League website and he plans on playing next year but not for current team Hull KR!!
