Who had the better players round them in last year's GF because McGuire absolutely schooled him? That's the difference between a good player and an all time great.

Gale is great when things are going well. He really knows how to exploit the great platform he is given and looks a worldy. Problem is, when things aren't going well he seems more interested in getting mouthy and starting a load of push-and-shove than trying to drag his team out of their rut.

Players like Mags and Sinny could play whether we were on top or not.

It's for that reason that gale will struggle at international level where against the aussies and the kiwis we are often not on top but still need to figure out how to win.

Gale is around 200,227,333 billion miles away from being even remotely close to the player Danny McGuire is.

maybe Gale will blame it on having his so called appendix removed again ! before a BIG game

I think the surgeon f***ed up. It's not an appendix he's lacking.

What a difference a year makes.
Most Leeds fans were screaming to have Gale in our side last year the very same who thought a few years ago both McGuire and Sinfield were past their best.
Now his team lose a semi final and he is not fit to lace their boots.
Funny old world.

Not me. Neither am/was I in the Powell for coach camp.

Me neither, whilst he has done a brilliant job in getting the Car team to where they are he often comes across as petulant and his record in big games is pretty bad

Be interesting how next year pans out for Cas. Like others have said, I don't think they'll get a better opportunity than they did last year.

For me, Gale falls solidly into the big fish little pond category...

‪There’s already seven changes to our squad numbers with no Delaney, Galloway, Jordan-Roberts, Moon, Hall, Lilley, Keinhorst for next season. Expecting Thompson to move on making it eight, then a few others like Ormondroyd, Walters, Mullally and maybe JJB.

Saw the League Express headline about Wakey sniffing around one of our props. Anyone got a copy and know who it is? Suspecting Mullally or Ormondroyd.
