Shannon Gallant

[sleet52]

My sources tell me Shannon will play his first game for the Cowboys tonight. Watch this space. :wink:

Thought there was already a topic about Gallant.

One thing is for sure. It belongs in the NRL section not this one

 

[Ryan]

Been the best player on the park so far. Great kick returns and involved in 2/3 of the Cowboys first half tries.

 

[tigergirlz]

Looking good imo as well.

 

[Balmain_Bug]

Gallant is the best player on the field so far.

But he isnt as good as Daniella or Brown is he Fonz?

Still hasn't out performed Ryans effort of last week though in metres :slight_smile:

Better than Thurston or Tonga? Yeh right. Shannon has a good game but settle down.

Gallant signed with the Cows before we signed Daniella or Brown so I cant see how you can say Sheens chose them over him. But dont let facts get in the way of a Sheens bagging, as always you never do.

 

[tiger_tigers]

brilliant in attack … below average in defence... i hope they play him next week ...just run big keefy and co right over the top of him ......

 

[benjibrotown]

Thought all round he had a pretty good match tonight. Certainly a pretty good back up fullback.

 

[southerntiger]

Nothing Shannon did not tonight convinced me that we should have done more to keep him.

 

[MacDougall]

You're in orbit southerntiger. He was my pick for third best on the park.

 

[southerntiger]

I stand by my view. He played well as he usually does. But he has seriously limitations as a player.

 

[tiga4eva]

If letting him go enabled us to get Lote,then Sheens got it 100% right.

 

[softlaw]

Very good game in attack (plucking that chip out of the air from Zillman was great to watch) but terrible as a last line of defence.
the titans had very little in attack & the only 2 times he had to make a tackle he just hung an arm out and didn;t even slow them down.
also if thurston hadn;t made that ankle tap Gallant wouldn;t have gotten near the (edit) Titans player because he was far too far infield.

 

[benjibrotown]

If letting him go enabled us to get Lote,then Sheens got it 100% right.

Or maybe for his price we couldve just not signed any ONE of Fitzhenry, Daniela or Brown..
Gallant picked up a Dally M point tonight by the way.

 

[MacDougall]

He certainly would have given us more value than any of Daniela, Brown, Fitzhenry.

 

[Marshall_magic]

All this over a fringe first grader? Imagine the outcry if Farah or Marshall had of left.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

If anyone watched him for Wests last year you would not be bagging his defence.

Played great tonight, and will carve us up next week if our defence is off. Not sure how much first grade he would have played with us though.

 

[softlaw]

Unfortunately Wests didn;t play in Cooma or Canberra too often over the last few seasons :frowning:
No question on his attack though. It's 1st class!
I think it's pretty definite he wouldn;t have gotten much of a run in 1sts if he'd stayed here. Wether that's right or wrong we'll never know.

I judge defence on first grade - on that test Gallant has always been shaky. I am not sure that he is versatile enough for me in attack either but he has certainly got some acceleration.
