Things like these happen at all clubs in any professional sport. Club have dealt with it the right way and Gale has fully and publicly apologised which is good to hear. Big move stripping him of captaincy but this great club of ours has the highest level of standards which is why we’ve won so many trophies. I support the club 100 % on this. Time to move on and hope this leads to Gale stepping up his performance.

He’s is a professional sportsman, he will get over it. Move on, what’s next

Spot on here

Come on you should of been used to it with Sinfield and Maguire

needs to keep his hair on

Worst ever.

You lot had Danny Brough he would whinge in the warm up.

And Shenton at Cas who tries to impersonate a windmill the amount of times he waves his arms about at the ref.
But then again Leeds are the only team in the world who have these players.

Agree with this but do think it`s a kick in the teeth taking the captaincy away from him.
Others who have played much worse clearly take it on the chin and I agree it could be down to frustration with Gale who has had an up and down season.
I know it was wrong him throwing punches at the Salford game but he was hit late and had the forwards knee on his neck/face at the time.
Time to move on I guess.

Sinfield was fine, Mcguire I agree.

Yes ,but he may have lost the captaincy because the players were in disagreement with his actions .it has been claimed they were on Agars side in the bustup

Think a lot depends on how he comes back into the team. He has a year left on his contract after this season and at the moment staying regardless of the fallout suits both parties with the world cup possibly still happening. He needs to play and Leeds have no halves. If wounds don't heel he may walk in the summer especially if Austin comes in which may be the clubs way of nudging him out of the door. Its one that could go either way dependent on the players reaction and future behaviour. On balance it seems the club have managed it well and with integrity.

Quality action from a quality club - keep it in house but send a message out about who is in charge.

Gale is an overrated player with an enormous ego fuelled in part by his agent - a bit like James Ford at York. He looks OK in an era devoid of decent halves - Leeds don't let many really top young players leave - Danny McGuire showed who was real class in the 2017 final.

wouldn't unduly suprise me to see gale move on come October

Me neither, especially if we sign Austin.

This little episode rightly or wrongly has soured my opinion of him a little, Our success over the last few years has been built around respect and solidarity in the squad yes there has been issues before but I don't think the players that caused the issues have ever lasted very long. The team spirit seems to have come back in spades and I wouldn't want any player ruining that, plus on top of the fact he hasn't really set the world alight especially this season I wouldn't be sorry if he did leave.
