Apparently Wigan interested in Gale.
Its an interesting one, if he would want to be the king pin I could see it working for the club, the player and his ego.
We certainly need to look at some fresh players at prop hooker and wing.
Could be a new partnership in the halfes.

It`s not ridiculous at all, struggling to see why you would think that.

Because
1 he has far better options than coming to us
2 we can't afford him
3 we already have half backs
4 he hasn't actually left Leeds yet

We don`t know the options he has, from what I hear from his old pal he knocks about Swillington with is he will be leaving Leeds with a year left on his deal and his options right now are 3 SL clubs and a championship club that are really keen on him, that was on the basis they were looking to ship him out even sooner which it seems may now not be the case unless wire let Austin go early, so as long as you see those other 2 clubs as far better options than us then fair play. The old we can`t afford him yet we publicly come out and say we had money in the pot for the likes of Andrew Fifita and were able to offer a big whack to Westy.

Well I guess we'll just have to see.
I don't doubt he's good and would improve our team but in my opinion it's unlikely and based on hearsay.

I couldn't disagree more i am afraid. Halfback is exactly where we need to improve. We currently have two headless chickens running around out there. I cant fault either of them for effort, but neither has a ounce of composure nor a good passing or kicking game.
I cant see it happening but yes i would take Gale in a heartbeat.
As for his age, just remember that the last time we looked like a superleague team was when we had Liam Finn at 7.

And I have to disagree with you sir ,as I see it an NRL half wouldn’t make a jot to our attack with the attacking structures we have in place, that is down to the coach and his systems ,which are suspect to say the least .

Absolutely spot on IMO, Lino quite obviously has the ability, the only thing he is guilty of imo is forcing play which when he is lacking any sort of running lines or options he can be forgiven for.

Re: Clear out time : Thu Aug 05, 2021 7:08 pm  

Think the nearest we get to running lines, is the guy who marks the pitch out

Re: Clear out time : Sun Aug 08, 2021 2:17 pm  

Need a 6 and 7 for sure and I would then try Lino a 9 can’t see Gale coming to Trinity and not sure if it would be worth the gamble with his injury record but if fit he’s better on one leg than Miller.
