I think Gales deffo past his best and hasn't shown any great form on a regular basis while at Leeds. You just never know he could arrive at Wakey and be the missing link CC talked about when Brough arrived. Wakey are going to have a look at signing quite a few new players for next season because our present squad ain't up for SL survival, not even with the injuries returning. So we could have a totally new half back partnership.
Not directly related to wakey clear out but not creating another thread.
Leigh have signed 3 more players today.
Saints Josh Eaves Marty Foster
Hull Fc Jack Logan
Adding to the new Halfback and the two NRL forwards.
They’ve obviously had a clear out with the intention to have a push for SL survival.
Obviously we have a 4 game cushion and it’s a sad state of affairs that we are probably the only team that needs to keep an eye on Leigh but it’s important we start picking up points soon.
There’s a chance these changes couldn’t change much but I’d feel much more confident with a win this weekend. Hoping we can push the gap a bit wider this weekend.
Eaves and Foster are only there for a week in order to cover for suspensions, injuries etc
He`s still a bloody good player, with very limited game time over the last 3/4 years it could go either way, he will either have a good 2 or 3 years left at the top of his game or he will get injured again and that will be it. A big risk, but if the price is right I would take him on a 1 year deal.
34 next year, pace gone and hasn’t played much over 3/4 years because he’s become very injury prone. I’d steer clear to be honest unless we get him on a one year deal and Leeds are paying pretty much all his supposed 150K salary.

If he's still under contract to Leeds then, IF we sign him, I'm sure that MC will ensure that Leeds will be paying a big part of his salary
Fifita - way past his best, and don't think we'll ever see that player we had 2-3 seasons ago, ever again
Arona - again not the same player he was, but I just feel that there are better players out there now. Yes, he has the effort, but you won't win many games on effort alone, and I think now his quota spot could be better used.
Green - not seen him do much in the whole time he's been here, if we had someone coming in to replace him, would happily see him go now.
Battye - looked good at the start, but sadly his performances have tailed off.
Hooking.
Kyle Wood - I think it has been said that this will be his last year. However, if not, although on the way down I think, he's probably still our best option, so I would offer a 1 year extension.
Josh Wood - he can tackle that is for sure, but doesn't seem to offer much go forward. Personally, I would offload.
Kay, Walker, Jordy have all been used there, but I think should only do so as a stop gap.
Alex Walker - not really seen the early hype live up to expectations when on the field. Personally, I would offload, especially now Gaskell has been signed.
Bill Tupou - nowhere near the same player he was and too many wrong options. He has, though, had some wrotten luck with injuries. However I'm going to cut him a bit of slack, and would keep, if the deal was right. Remember, we have Croft and Greensmith coming through.
TJ/LK/LK/IS - not sure here
If TJ does go chasing the dream, I'd look to replace him, with a player of a proven try scoring record
The other 3 though, do look to have a mistake in them, so I'm not sure on that yet.
Until you stop calling Crowthorne Jordan and jowett max they will not be took seriously by proper fans
