Let's face it, he's used to being the top dog where ever he's played and he's probably chucked the toys out of the pram elsewhere but has been too important to the club for it to have consequences.

There'll be rumours left right and centre about what's gone on. The one above RE Catalans performance could well be true. I was told the fall out stemmed from him getting wind we'd signed Austin. There seems to be a little bit of momentum gathering behind the Austin rumours now Sezer has been announced too. Pete Smith is basically the Rhinos second press officer and he's mentioned we're somewhere near the front of the queue to sign him.

Interesting times ahead!

Don't wish him away. We need to keep our good players. Unless there really has been a cataclysmic fall out he will want to stay for reasons of both ambition and finances. Hope the management and players don't dwell on this stuff as long as the fans.

We do but my gut feeling is all stuff going on with Gale could be Austin related.I hope Gale stays but ive said before you pick your best side and play players in their best poistion and for mine Gale would miss out.

Maybe so, but I think we (the fans) really over analyise this stuff. Maybe it is exactly what the club say it is. Maybe they have addressed our patent lack of strength in depth at half through the signing of Austin and all is going to plan. For what it's worth my first choice half back combo for next year is definitely Gale and Sezer, but performances and form will ultimately decide that. And that is how it should be.

Agreed.

Be interesting to see how we travel tonight without him. Last 2 years we’ve looked lost with the ball when He is out.
