Paul Gallen, Captian Peptide, can shoulder a lot of went wrong for NSW, in a subliminal way if nothing else.
Him king hitting Myles in Game 1, led to those ridiculous send offs in Game 2, courtesy of Merrin punching a bloke looking the other way. This was all a farce, and could have been avoided had Gallen been sent off for the original offence.
All that nonsense was the low point for the series. NSW brought it upon themselves, their Captain set the poor, grubby and unprofessional example. (Would a Darren Lockyer type Captain have ever lost composure like that? Gallen may be physically strong, but he's mentally weak.)
