Former rugby league players Mark ‘Spud’ Carroll and Paul Gallen have traded words over Bronson Xerri’s positive drug test with Carroll directly attacking Gallen for his past.
This is a genius career move by Gal.
There’s no money in being a dignified and thoughtful media commentator, these days.
Expect to see him joining Nine’s cricket commentary team.
If Gal is intent on going into media with his on-field track record, he better drop the 'he doesn't like me' attitude for any criticism that comes his way. He might find most of the commentators 'don't like him'
That is very cynical. I'm not the biggest Gal fan but even I wouldn't accuse (not the right word) Gal of pushing an old bloke over. Unless, of course, the old bloke smashed him with his zimmer frame and 50 guys with gold chains and teeth appeared from no where to 'break it up'.
The peptide issue is still a 'drugs in sport' reference. Gal can call it what he likes (doping & club sanctioned), he took them and he pleaded guilty. He hasn't got the right to get upset when someone brings it up. Plus it was 6yrs ago, I'm sure Carrol had something to say back then but how many times would they have met and shooks hands between then?

Yeah I found the last part hilarious. Spud didn’t have a problem with Gallen before he made these typical dumb comments. What a shock...

I agree with Mark. imo Mr peptide gallan should have been suspended for min 2 years or the full 4 years. he is a very lucky player.
