Oh, no - everytime David Gallop opens his mouth something bad happens.
I reckon they're all talking to each other - the NRL and News Ltd have the same opinions on everything.
Ooh, now he's saying that the NRL relied on their own auditor's INACCURATE report.
'We're 100% comfortable with the penalties we imposed.'
Ha, yeah, because you don't have to contest them in court seeing the company that owns half of you and all of Melbourne Storm, fired the people you were scared of.
Whoa, he looks to be consistent. This is revolutionary stuff for Mr. Gallop.

Gallop shows his face half hour late then scheduled, no surprise there.

I'm enjoying Gallop getting cut by questions by one journo.

And now Russell Fairfax has backed up the question on why not look into O'Sullivan since he has been at the Roosters.

If he was involved in dirty dealings with us he'll be involved with dirty dealings at the Roosters....they won't look into them though because its a Sydney team. If O'Sullivan was at the Cowboys or Titans etc then they would look. Only my opinion but yeah. Stinks of double standards.

I believe he fits the roosters well

Now to the conferrence,i watch it and only had to laugh as it looked as if Gallop was very out of sorts in there,one reporter questioning the size of the punishment
and all he could do is backpedal and say "we're happy with the way we have dealed with it"

That answer seemed from a spineless man,it was as if Gallop found a certain vindication of his punishment handed down to the storm,possibly thinking the size and
scope of the punishment handed down was to big for the early reports,dont get me wrong i thought the original punishment was overly harsh,removal of premierships
should go back into the 80s/90s and attack Canberras trophy cabinet,the 2007/2009 was well over and done with,to me the punishment should have been monetary
however with the NRL directly half owned by the storms owners as if theyd ever fine themselves,that would be attacking news itself from half inside the organisation

Gallop although slightly vindicated by this heavy handed punishment still could not answer questions in the way a proper CEO should,he wasnt firm he was as soft as
butter,those 2 reporters repeatedly attacked him quoting that his punishment was based on what turned out to be 20% of the ACTUAL BREACH,then he went to the
contract renegoations,He suggested in some words that he wanted the entire squad dismantled only to back down on that particular threat and in some ways allowing
the storm doing what Gallop didnt want to happen by changing those contracts mid course

This man has the spine of a slug

I changed the channel once Gallop finished racing through his statement.  He has to be the most wooden, boring, monotonous, irritating person around.

you all sound like a bunch of school kids blaming the school teacher (gallop) for punishing you when you were caught cheating. The Melbourne Storm deserve everything they get.

Your boyfriend Jarryd needs you to cuddle, he's currently upset that your team is going no where and everyone has come to the realisation he is nothing but a girl in disguise.
