It's going to be a Lui and Gale half back pairing. Gale will be replacing Myler, if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Evans Thigh Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Powell invariably improves halves. Gale wasn’t great when he went to Cas, Sneyd was amazing under Powell, Liam Finn, Christ, even Jamie Ellis and Corey Aston have looked ok. Richardson will have every opportunity to improve and I agree Powell is a better coach than Holbrook. Formerly Alistair Boyd-Meaney fifty thousand Poouunds from Keighley...weve had im gid."

Wolford6 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 We've a young lad called Rowan Milnes who is out of contract and has been out of action with a broken leg. Some Superleague club should snap him up because he is a quality standoff. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win win deal, we desperately needed something different at halfback, Lui's been that and proved a good addition. Tui's been much better for Salford than he was for us, they havnt missed a beat and gained 65k on top, great deal for them. Think both clubs will be happy with how the deal panned out.

MyMrsWouldPreferSinfield Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It is a perfect storm for Salford, I honestly think it could be their year. Only Saints have excelled this year and anything can happen in 80 minutes as the CC final demonstrated. Lui must be hurting if Salford do the business especially given every fan of every team (apart from Saints & Pies) is willing them on. There are not many cowards on a RL pitch but Lolohea comes across as one. He really is scared to get stuck in to tackle. That said he has very very silky hands, much better than any Leeds player including Lui. He really didn't get much of a chance at Leeds and I am hoping he continues to do well.

I don’t know what the deal with him was at Leeds but at Salford he has in no way shied away from any tackles - even this week he put in some big hits on Cas. He kicking was also criticised by Leeds fans but for us it has been an improvement on Lui. He hasn’t got that magic step to break through the line like Lui but we’ve adapted our game around that. I think Lui will do much better outside Gale as he prefers to drift in and out of games rather than control them. Im glad the Lui - Tui transfer worked out for everyone.
