Yes Galio is better in lane, but that's beyond the point. Why play Amumu in the first place when there's Galio? Galio is only about 5 seconds behind Amumu in clear time by the way, so clear time is definitely not an excuse; and Galio already has a gap closer with the movement speed buffs and debuffs. So, what exactly makes Galio a weak jungle then?
As for Alistar, if ganking is the only thing you need, then you might as well put Fiddle in tier 1, yet he isn't. Gank potential alone doesn't make a jungler effective.
