@James_Smailes - Bad news from FC win is a torn bicep injury for Galea. Scans will show how bad, but at this time of year it could be season ending. Hope not.

I know he hasn't been brilliant for us but got to feel for the guy. Just starting to him some form & has had a good career, would be a shame to think that today was his last day playing.

Was patting the badge on his shirt at the end. Would be a shame to see him bow out through injury.

Sorry to see any player injured but Pitts offers a damn sight more than Galea...a bad signing all round imo.

Gutted for him if he is injured, but agree Pitts has been better for us this season. Offers a lot more.

Sad news for Galea to finish his career on an injury, was starting to hit a bit of form the past few games.

Pleased for Pitts though. I rate him highly and now is his chance to have some more game time.

Sounds bad - very disappointing if he has to finish on this note.

I hope he fully recovers , dont think he is a bad as some make out on here and you cant buy experience

BREAKING: the career of another @Wests_Tigers 2005 "miracle" title win is over - @BennyGalea is set to retire after tearing his pec muscle

Here here.

Ben has done his part for us this year. Too many see his recent previous employer and let it cloud their judgement.

Don't really agree, McDonnell was at Rovers last year and he has been one of our best this season imo, whereas I think Galea has plodded and stifled our attack somewhat, I think he's just gone a year too many.

That said the effort is always there and his experience will have helped the youngsters. Always a shame when any player has to call it a day due to injury.

Great shame for a him to end it on an injury, fantastic player for us and will go down as one of our best imports.

Never seemed to work out that well for FC, maybe for a number of reasons, I always thought it was a season too many as his injury record with us was getting worse year on year. But I think the way FC set up attack never suited him. He used to run some fantastic lines for us and played off Dobsons shoulder very well,

Thanks Ben for all your efforts for us, and dare I say it Hull KR. Great servant to Hull's Rugby League.

I agree with that, but that said, I don't think we will miss him too much either

Sad way for Benny to end, been a fantastic RL player and it's shame he never got to see the season out.

My sentiments too.

Wonder if he'll stay on as assistant coach? He seems perfectly suited to coaching. Is he likely to want to stick around in Hull after the end of this season if he had a job?

That was my thoughts, seems him and PG have a good relationship and respect for each other.

Sounds like he brought a great attitude and mental toughness to the team, which can't be a bad thing.

However I do think he has tried to push his body a year too far.

His wife is telling people they are going home, so don't think he'll be on the coaching team for us next year.

Officially confirms his retirement.

Sad way to bow out. I wish him well for the future, shame he didn't come to Hull earlier in his career. Often caused us problems when we faced him.

stupid signing, keeping better players out. Sad end to a career, but he wont be missed.

Sad way to end a career and I wish him well for the future. The memory I'll keep of him is that goal-line tackle on Jason Poore (IIRC) at the KC.

That had TRY written all over it and should be required viewing of how to defend on your line.

Outstanding. Best tackle I've seen all year.

Best of luck to him

Missed him tonight he at least has broken the line in the past. I thought Tickle, Westerman, Pitts and to a slightly lesser extent Ellis just didn't run hard enough and fast enough tonight.
