some of the criticism of Galloway was justified at the time, but most people agreed he got better as the season went on and clearly prefers a dry track and warmer weather. plus both this season and last did not get a string of games together too much in first half of season he looks better with a good run of games under his belt. happy enough for me, solid prop but no world beater (although his has kangaroo caps)

I am with Biff on this one. He got unjustified criticism last year and his work was unappreciated by many who just waded in. He is an old fashioned solid prop who does a lot of the hard graft with few errors and would be one of my starting props.

His tackling technique is also usually fantastic

Parcell's try came off the back of a fast ptb from Galloway.

Was not on this site last season, but know on Facebook, Galloway got in from a lot of stick and was viewed as one of the worst signings we had done. ..im not on twitter but read it and whilst the abuse was not as up front it was still prevalent. Just takes one person to post inaccurate facts then the band wagon starts rolling Galloway did an interview stating he knew he was not popular with fans but hoped to eventually he would win then over.

That must have only added to the pressure of filling the void of JP and Kylie so just on that level ,think he has done incredibly well, and road the storm when lesser players might well have abandoned ship and thought if I'm not popular , I don't need this cr@p i'll find another club. That determination to win fans round and be successful is part of Rhinos spirit. As others said he put in lot of hard graft..he might not be as flash as Cuthbo on offloads but that said seen him make a few slick offloads ....I hope he does not get any more injuries this season as we will need his physical presence to ensure we retain the second place in table..then hopefully progress to play offs.

you don't play a decade as a starting prop at an NRL club get Origin selections and Australian caps if you are a mug.

Galloway has been excellent for the last 12 months, and was always going to come good. He's one of the best props in the league, and would get into most teams' 17 easily.

Galloway got off to a poor start last year but I thought from around Round 9/10 he really picked up and did well in a struggling team. Think the fact he's an outside signing as opposed to a local lad and people just lazily sticking to their original view on people have been what's counted against him.



Let's not forget this year he's coming back from a serious injury and then lost a few weeks with a knee problem. He's done ok and will get better with more matches IMO. Apparently he came back from Australia a few weeks earlier than planned during pre season so he could work on getting himself back fit as soon as possible even leaving his family behind and coming by himself. That says something about the guy and shows how much he wants to do well here.

class act was Barnhill

Are you now glad he did bring back McGuire & JJB?

Do you still believe that?
