Being made the captain of the Titans is like Gaigai winning player of the year for the Knights lmao. Much like Snowden, Douglas didn't exist before or after the peptides. Much like any of the other Sharks players who were average before them.

This is how I remember it. I recall him having a really good year when the Sharks made the Top 4 based perky in their defence. 2008 I think it was.

People like to say Gallen was all peptides too. Think it's just an easy cop out insult. Sure the peptides probably helped out in recovery & made players more durable but it wouldn't have turned an average player into superman. It was a legal accepted supplement at one point wasn't it? He's broken down now with age, but a guy like Gallen was just a warhorse with a massive work ethic in his prime. The Sharks had other good players & average players too, saying the good players were only good because of a supplement they were taking is taking it a little far in my opinion.

Little bit like Manly and the calves blood saga. Technically not illegal at the time but still a questionable practice.

Gal’s a freak. Even at 37 he still gets through tons of work. I don’t like him because he hangs sh*t on the Knights but the bloke is a legendary footballer. To attribute all he’s done to a year using peptides is unfair.

People forget how average of a footballer Gallen was before the peptides. Much like many other players before the Sharks/peptides chapter. There was a reason why he was overlooked when he was playing junior footy. Playing 80 minutes at Origin and getting 200m? Give me a break lmao. Amongst other clearly obvious signs from other players of course that weren't mentioned.
There is a reason fans are filthy the Sharks copped such a soft punishment in the whole ordeal, which was coincidently behind their premiereship.
The Sharks are cheats, Gallen is a cheat. Much like the Melbourne Storm were cheats. There is no grey area in the discussion.

Anyway this thread is about Vave so moving on...
