Is there an NRL club we haven't got a "ground-breaking partnership agreement" with yet? Maybe it's another one of those.

Or we're doing a dual reg arrangement with Toronto Wolfpack.

Apparently the news will "shock the world of Rugby League" - it would be a bit of a coup signing Gale, but hardly shocking.

Everything about Gale to Leeds makes sense. Club trained, so not all his wage counts on the cap. He'll be the main man at a big club, we are desperate for a quality halfback, GH can't wait until season end. Then, go get Powell

Why would we loan Lilley out to one of our direct competitors

Gale is out of contract at the end of the year so it would be fine for him to talk to any club he wants about signing for 2017

Unfortunately Daryl Powell is on contract until 2019 so we would have to buy him out of his deal if we do go for him and Cas may well say no

Or Powell could quit

First of all, why on earth would Powell even consider quitting Castleford for anyone? And secondly, a few people on here seem to be misinformed on Gales contract length. He is signed up to the end of 2017 in which case any approach before May 2017 is illegal unless Cas have authorised it, which I doubt.

Not that I know of Luke a Gale signing, but I think you are wrong with that, or at least most Cas fans are not aware of that. He signed for 2015 and 2016, then did not agree yet a new contract first offered in January.

Why would Powell quit Cas? You kidding. You're tinpot. Gale is off contract at the end of 2016

For a tinpot team, they are doing a pretty good job of showing Leeds up, and on more than just the one occasion.

If Cas are tinpot, what are Leeds?

You may want to practice some humility while your best run club in Super League are propping up the ladder and staring down the barrel of the Middle 8's.

Yes

But hey what would I know, your information is much more reliable.

You obviously don't know what tinpot means.

Just for you, it's a club that never win anything with a crappy ground and few fans. Cas are incredibly tinpot.

I'm unsure if you're being sarcastic (appologies if not by the way), but I also work with a bloke who knows Luke's dad very well from living in Miggy, and he has also confirmed that he wants another crack at Leeds. People can make their own minds up, but no one is a better source than his old man, surely?

Did Urban Dictionary tell you to say that?

While you're on there, look up GLOIT because that's you.
