Does anyone have an interest in Gallen's fight?
How will he go?
Part of me wants him to do well but another part of me wants to see him get touched up.

"It's still Moses' team.
Look at that almost width of the field sweeping play when Pezet was at first receiver, Moses out wider at second picking up Iongi for a try.
It's probably the best we've looked with the ball all year.

"Pops,
What happened to the Frenchman?
We probably need to be realistic a bit when it comes to Pezet.
He is new to our systems after being in the Storm for years and we're building new combinations.
I agree with Michael Witt. He is probably 3–6 years…"

"Daz and Coryn. It's a lovely theory, gentlemen. Sure, sprint coaching helps. But turning Pezet or Paulo into Usain Bolt? The eggs might start flying faster."
"Not necessarily Coryn. Contracts mean nothing. If we decide to keep Smith as the future 9, Da Silva then makes the choice to either see out his deal or ask for a release. Done, sorted.
Now, is Da Silva seen as the future? I would say his deal til…"

Pass selection is also an attribute I haven't seen enough of it to suggest he'd be a 13.

Gus: Eels Showed "Real Grit"
Curled up in the foetal position, the noise is getting louder from some of our punters. Drop Pezet. Move him on. He’s been labelled “a mistake” by some, along with the usual tomatoes thrown at R&R, the team, and the front office. But not Talyn Da…

Love how you signed off at the end,almost like a real journalist.Cute.
Will you watch the fights Eggy?
I wish I was going, I think it would be a good night.
I do love a good fight.Hunt looks like he's copped a pounding in the ring before,and after a few ass whoopings you get to when you either doing it for love or for the money ,and Hunt to me looks like a bloke who loves a good pounding.
I expect Gallen to be knocked out. Hunt is a serious fighter. He may not have the chin he once did but the dude has crazy knockout power. Hunt just threw a punch at Gal at their presser today. Gal has never really fought a serious fighter, the majority of his fights have been against footy players. Hunt has 20 years of fighting experience behind him. And it's not like Gallen has a lot of rounds to tire Hunt out. It's only a six round fight so that probably suits Hunt.
Yes Hunt can throw them, some look like they don't connect much but gee the opponents feel it.
Will make for an interesting watch nonetheless.
I figure Gallen is going to try and keep him at a distance but Hunt is a brawler, likes to get in tight and throw them. Gallen has relied on his fitness and staying on the outside to win previous fights. That may not work with Hunt whose experience will probably allow him to close distance more efficiently.
Gallen will not see the walk up knockout that Hunt is famous for.
who won this fight?
