Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3186222, member: 1992"] I'll concede Snowden did play Game 1 in 2011 however he was already an Origin frontrower at the time. It certainly wasn't due to drugs as you claim. He didn't play origin after that game. He was a benchy for the Anzac test. Considering the test was in May his performances cannot be attributed to drugs( cronulla ped) as you claim. He was already considered an origin player prior to season 2011, again cannot be attributed to drugs. There is substantial evidence Snowden regressed in 2011 as he never played Origin again after game 1 and didn't play for Australia ever again. His few minutes off the bench in May was the highlight of his 'test career'. A single bench appearance for Australia. So, he was an Origin player in 2010 , a year before the peptide scandal so definitely not drugs as you claim. 2011 he makes the bench for the anzac test and follows it up with his final origin game. After that it was all downhill, not in game 2 or 3 of origin and doesn't make the huge four nation squad in October. As I said, definite regression. Good try Morkel but wrong. Snowden and the peptides cannot be linked. He likely achieved what he did on merit alone. As for Gallen, you're still wrong, playing 80 mins doesn't neccessary mean you're a machine, both Steve Price and Glenn Lazurus did exactly the same. Lazurus was nowhere near as fit as Gallen and had nothing like his output. Gallen had been setting the standard in the nrl for metreage since 2006. 2006 most metres Gallen 2007 most metres Price 2008 injured(RLIF Lock of the year) 2009 only 16 matches, injured. 2010 most metres Gallen(RLW Player of the Year) pre peptide! #average hey Morkel# 2011 most metres Gallen 2012 most metres Gallen So clearly he was a machine pre 2011 as recognizable by the awards and records. Can't attribute that to peptides! [/QUOTE]
