The Mail says today that Gale has been offered a deal and he'll decide within the next 24 hours but looks (according to James Smailes) "certain" to join Hull.

Carvell's move should also be completed soon.

I honestly do not think we will be offloading Miller this season. As for Gale I'm not overly bothered about him, would rather look at Sammut out of the two.
Don't know the Mason rumour has come from, but when he was at Huddersfield I was a big fan. Mainly due to his aggressiveness and ability to wind the opposition up. Saying that, I'd only take him for a season I think.

Re: gareth carvell : Mon Feb 10, 2014 6:44 am  

Mason is a bit more understandable if Green is out for a few weeks.

Can't believe people are writing Bowden and Green off already, one of the few highlights of pre season has been how well Bowden as gone, he has never been given a good run at the club and is only young for a prop to develop,

Green was excellent in patchs last year, certainly the first few games and IMO unfairly dropped a couple of times in favour of more senior players.

Re: gareth carvell : Mon Feb 10, 2014 6:50 am  

I agree people shouldn't write either of just yet, and to say Bowden looks as though he doesn't want to be here Seb is laughable. Against Fev he was the only first teamer from the pack who looked interested and was our best forward. I believe Green has a better chance of making it, but I'm also a fan of Bowden. Remember props don't hit their peak until there late 20s and there both under 24.
If anyone's going to moan about one of our props it's Watts. Done nothing since his first half a season here. Doesn't run his weight even after bulking back up and seems to have forgotten how to offload.

Is it fair to think that bringing in Gale automatically means the exit of Miller?

I'd think so, not sure it the correct decision IMO, I'd rather keep Miller and wait to see if a better player become available.

If Miller and Mc go, it will have us down to 5 overseas players, which must be one of the lowest in the league, which is good for the club.

Re: gareth carvell : Mon Feb 10, 2014 7:47 am  

I can't see Miller going, tbh and I hope he doesn't

Re: gareth carvell : Mon Feb 10, 2014 8:04 am  

I apologise for the desperate comment yesterday, a better word would have been badly timed, the Carvell one I can understand, the opportunity has arisen and he is a quality forward who probably has a good year left in him, the Gale and Mason ones seem very knee jerk and not signings many of you would have welcomed prior to the preseason performances.

How would getting rid of Miller work? If some are to be believed he is on a sizeable contract which has 1 or 2 years to run. Would this mean a pay off and if so would this come off the cap as the season has already started?

Can’t see him walking of his own accord, will be similar with McD
