Surgess's best asset was his byes, but Gallen plays the first 2 big byes himself, and without the distraction of origin, I think he can score consistently well all year.
Also, I just don't see the Tommy Turbo love. I get that he is a great player - but so was Brett Stewart in his prime and he never racked up fantasy points.
I guess its hard to assess the impact of the ankle injury on his performance so its hard to say how he'll go now if he is fully fit.
I can see the logic going Gallen over Surgess but you are assuming that Gallen won't get his customary re-origin injury.
T-Trbo & Stewart are totally different types of fantasy players. The reason Stewart was average was because he was solely a finisher & nothing else whereas T-Trbo can score his points through a variety of different ways. Even if Manly lose T-Trbo will still score well as he'll be the focal point of Manly's attack & highly involved.
