Paul Gallen had a moment to forget on Thursday night during commentary duties for Penrith's stunning victory against the Sydney Roosters. Even without their inspirational captain and halfback Nathan Cleary, the Panthers were too good for the Tri Colours, with young flyer Sunia Turuva scoring his first NRL hat-trick in the 22-16 victory. It wasn't the only eye-opening moment involving Waerea-Hargreaves on Thursday night, with Gallen mistakenly describing it as the veteran's milestone 300th game during Channel Nine's post-match wash-up. The NRL great was interviewing James Tedesco, but had to be corrected by the Roosters captain after asking about the team's feelings on Waerea-Hargreaves's 'milestone' game. "And what about big Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, 300 games tonight, a little bit disappointed, what's he meant to this club?" Gallen asked. Tedesco quickly shot back: "Last week, his 300th game," forcing Gallen into an embarrassing U-turn. "I'm sorry I thought it was this week, my bad, what's he meant to the club though," the Sharks legend said after pushing on with the original question.
