Man of Kent Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 You’d expect Powell & Sheridan will be able to get a tune out of Richardson so they oughtn’t miss Gale either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Cool Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 He's an absolutely outstanding half and fully fit I'd take Gale ahead of any other current SL half. If he's fit he's fit. We'll see. Won't enjoy seeing him in a Leeds shirt much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gates1 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Rumours of a last minute larger offer from another club kicking about. Although I'd doubt anything will come of it, everything I've heard suggest the deal has been done (in principle) at least for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea and might not even be true (It's a rumour I've read rather than one I could link to a source). If true Hull KR might not be a bad call (hes big mates with Danny Maguire think they have some shared ventures in the nags). Toronto would be the only other club I could really see been a viable bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Prendle Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Absolute waste of money, if true. Why on Earth would any club pay £150K for a 31 year old with bad knees, and a questionable work ethic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? that's not what I see when I watch him play. I see a whingeing flat track bully who waves his arms about a lot and blames everyone else when it all starts to go wrong.

M j M Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Reportedly Leeds like Gale partly because of the amount of salary cap exemptions he comes with being club trained - although I'm not quite sure how that would work given that only really kicks in for marquee players and I doubt they are going to switch any of the two existing marquees into full cap. As for £150k. Peanuts, it's barely in the top ten transfer fees paid by Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his attacking quality he is an awful defender. As long as Gale is on less than 50k less then him the two would be switched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way will Leeds pay that for Luke Gale. Wrong side of 30 and not sure how he will come back from injury Danny Richardson could have a big future in the game with quality coaching and a lot more game time.

Leeds have spent big on two players last season, Hurrell and Merrin. Hurrell is in the dream team and Merrin's collective stats show he was as good as any big forward in SL. Martin is also a great recruit. Apart from his debut when he was like a rabbit in headlights, he just doesn't miss kicks. Gale, pre injury, was the best English 7 and the best 7 in SL bar none! He was first choice for England and in the dream team for 3 or 4 consecutive years! He is not a Steve Ward with great talent but a body that cannot cope with the sport, he has simply had two back to back bad injuries. He is not a big runner, so he is the type to go on for another 3 years easy. If he comes back 90% Leeds have still got the best 7 in SL and the fee suggested is a snip!

DoubleD Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I’m surprised if it’s that much. Poor negotiation from Leeds. If they’d have done a package with Jamie Ellis, I reckon they’d have been able to halve the transfer fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defence is poor, his game management is poor and he isn't a great runner. His goal kicking doesn't give him a big future. Great business by Cas if they get 150k for Gale. Under Daryl Powells coaching he will improve and be a good Super League player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfolly Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The mind boggles Gale and Myler half back pairing, it will be like watching a couple of wind turbines the amount of time they spend waving their arms about or maybe they genuinely think they can fly.

He would be a serviceable Super League player for a mid table club, but a statement of a big future feels like hype based off a few highlights. In my opinion i think Powell is a better coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
