Gallen landed awkwardly on his shoulder after attempting a tackle on Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in the 48th minute and was unable to lift his arm above his head after the game.Flanagan knows how tough his skipper is and the fact he did not return to the field after getting hurt has the coach worried ahead of the daunting trip to AAMI Park."Gal will get a scan in the morning or maybe tonight if we can get one - touch wood that he's OK but it's a bit unknown," Flanagan said.
"If Gal doesn't come back on I'm real concerned - he usually can just go in and get it strapped up and battle on but for him not to come back in a big semi-final was a bit concerning."Let's hope it's not as bad as first thought."Another of the Sharks' forward leaders, Luke Lewis, joined Gallen on the sideline in the 62nd minute after tweaking his calf but he is expected to be OK for next week.Centre Josh Dugan, who was ruled out of the Panthers game with a shoulder injury, remains a 50-50 proposition to travel to Melbourne."Lewie's had calf tightness for a while, he should be OK," Flanagan said.
