Quote: Dwayne Dibley "Personally I fear Gale maybe gone by the end of the season on a free to Wakey or Salford.Hope not, but looks as though Austin was signed with the view of utility value since Jack Walker has missed the best part if 2 seasons. So are we sure he'll be the same player when and if he makes his come back.Here's hoping he does.'"
People keep misunderstanding this. The club has seen how devastating it's been with missing playmakers this year. They deliberately want to have three quality options there for 2022 so that we will be able to ride through injury and suspension. If Gale and Seizer are both fit that's great, Austin will perhaps find a place in the backline elsewhere. But given how 2021 has gone there's every chance we'll need him in the halves. And boy is he incentivised to play well to earn a proper contract for 2023 and beyond.
