Paul Gallen

Yes Bravo…Now he just needs to copy the article so we don't give News LTD or Fairfax the hits...
 
He is truly an idiot. Just before ASADA handed out their penalties, he said he'd never accept a deal because it would label him a cheat. Nek minute, deal accepted. Now he goes and says stuff like this.

Some NRL captains are becoming a little wayward lately.
 
Re: Paul Gallen.

Take away his bullocking runs in SOO during the 2009-11 series and what has he done(apart from the punch to Nate Myles!)….. He has not given Cronulla much value over the last 2 years due to injury….

Gallen has had the nick name of “medicine man” in the NRL circles for many years now…His body has changed dramatically over the last 5 years….Now he is a drug cheat thanks to ASADA…

For me he should quit the NRL and head off to boxing….he won’t be missed at all!

You must all be so proud of your NSW captain now

Looks that way Hap….similar to the way Queenslanders feel about Cammy (salary cap rorting 2 cars and a boat... I new nothing?) Smith...

Qlders can be axe murderers but as long as they win SOO their poop don't stink in our eyes :laughing:

Blues supporters seem to be a bit more selective

Don't know what that says to be honest :crazy

Oh that makes sense - if you have depression you are inclined to obscenely swear on Twitter and forget your responsibilities as captain of NSW. Poor Gallen.

Monday Buzz: Paul Gallen’s hidden battle with depression

Oh that makes sense - **if you have depression** you are inclined to obscenely swear on Twitter and forget your responsibilities as captain of NSW. **Poor Gallen**.

Would you have preferred it get to a level where, like some others, he did something far more serious and permanent?
If he does suffer depression, and the never ending ASADA investigation with him as their prime target wouldn't help out, then he does need to seek help.
He swore in a tweet and he should have been smart enough to know better.
Not the most heinous of crimes.
 
Oh god… The players took banned substances. It doesn't matter who gave it to them and where they came from- they took them and end of story. What do the players want from the nrl??

Depression is an internal battle and wish Gallen a quick recovery but it shouldn't be an excuse for anything.

People these days don't want to own up to their mistakes and shift blame on someone else.

Well said, CK and thankfully Gallen is already receiving treatment for his depression.

Whilst not excusing his tweet (he definitely should've known better) you're right it's certainly not the most heinous of crimes. Anyone can rant and rave all sort of expletives at home, at work or amongst their friends, but once it's expressed on social media, that's the end of it….you become the worst person in the world! I swear social media will be the death of us.

On a side note, depression is a serious mental health problem that shouldn't be joked about or taken lightly. Much like dementia, it's insidious and in-discriminative. It's the great equaliser in many ways because on the one hand, you have Gallen, who has fame, money and has achieved a lot in his short lifetime, while on the other hand, you have me - a nobody, with little money or achievement to speak of, yet we both have depression - go figure.
 
Flip,we all feel for you and are always around,and as I have said many times before,there is no shame in asking for help….
