Stats don’t lie, Gallen

WELCOME back to Brisbane, “Mr 14 per cent’’.

You had probably figured Paul Gallen’s win-loss record in Brisbane is pretty dismal. It’s actually an eye-watering three wins in 22 games, both for NSW against Queensland and for Cronulla against the Broncos. No wonder he dislikes Queensland so much.

And no wonder he seems to take every chance to parrot – one more time – his “two heads’’ jibe when one of his ever-friendly Sydney media mates soft balls him a question.

If this is to be Gallen’s last game in Brisbane, he will hope that a game against different opposition, Gold Coast, at Suncorp Stadium tonight provides a winning note.

He played 11 Origin games at Suncorp Stadium for two wins.

He played nine NRL games at Suncorp and two before that at the old ANZ Stadium at Nathan for a total of one win for the Sharks.

That’s a win percentage of 13.63 per cent, but let’s round it up to 14 per cent.
