Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2523496, member: 1992"] Ftr, the reason I wrote Steve Price did it in 2007 is because he did it in 2007. The last player to play 80 minutes at prop was Gallen, previous to that was Price in 2007. Easily checked Dexter as relying on memory is a flawed practice, it is so unreliable. The following is an excerpt from wiki. Paul was selected for the Games I, II and III of the 2011 State of Origin series as well as for the Australian team. Paul scored his first try of the season in Round 3 against the Panthers. Sharks won that game 44-12. He continued scoring tries and as of Round 16, he had scored 6 tries and droped 45 people. In State of Origin II Gal was controversially selected to play prop and became the first prop to play 80 minutes in an origin match since Steve Price (rugby league) in 2007. His performance was recognized as one of the greatest ever in the blue jersey[citation needed], earning him the reward of man of the match. Gallen also limped into the 2011 Anzac test match and was awarded Man of the Match. So I suppose you would concede that there was no 'suddenly' playing long minutes and the attendant inference that he was gaining some advantage from illegal drugs. As the evidence proves from his 2005 season onwards, he has always been an absolute powerhouse. Just as an aside, Steven Prices record as a prop with respect to minutes played and metres gained is in fact greater than Gallens ! To highlight, in 2007 he ran 4,515 metres, a record and more than any other prop. During that season he set a record ,twice eclipsing his own league leading best of 272 metres , in round 14 running for 306 metres and finally in round 21, 323 metres in the one game !!!!! [/QUOTE]
