Gale was the epitome of a bad winner throughout last season imo, some of his interviews and prancing about like a proud peacock were way too cocky for someone who up to that point was 29 and hadnt done anything worth bragging about In his whole career. You'd of thought he was wally lewis the way he was prancing about. In 15 years of consitantly winning i cant remember any instance of burrow or sinfield showing such admiration for thereselves as gale did last season.
On the other hand i really like darryl powell, think he's a brilliant coach. If and When mcdermott takes up a new challenge , powell would be the person id want to replace him.
On topic, if aston develops well under powell then fair play to him and cas. He was never going to play regularly for us,it was the right call to let him go and try his luck sumwhere else. We cant keep everyone out of fear that powell will develop them into quality players.

I'm probably of a different view here. I think we need to produce more half backs who are cocky gits. All of GB's best in my lifetime have seemed incredibly 'self assured' - Gregory, Edwards, Goulding and Schofield were never short of self belief. If we're ever going to beat Australia we need halfbacks who aren't fazed by the opposition and who believe the team is 'theirs' when on the field.
Even if they're not actually that great as players, I really don't have a problem with players swaggering about - we need more characters in the game IMO, sometimes SL seems very sanitised from that perspective. There's nothing wrong with cartoon baddies - see a certain Mr Bailey as a prime example. Every club should have one.

Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army.
Rudge: Where? India?

Cocky or not, Dorothy Gayle isn’t in the same class as the aforementioned half backs of yore. |

Swagger & attitude are all well & good but at some point you have to back it up in a big game/final otherwise it's just wind & p!$h ala Brough. |

Nothing wrong with having cartoon baddies and cocky g1ts, but part of the appeal of that is slating them when they fail.

yep those mentioned were ripping it up as teenagers, Schofield was golden boot, man of steel, top try scorer, well on his way to all time Gb caps, ripping it up in ARL, whilst gale was still playing in championship. |

You realise this is a Conor McGregor impersonation, right? He was doing it as a joke, not out of arrogance.

The swagger from Gale may have been a Connor McGregor impersonation but at that time the Cas players were loving life at the top of the tree and they were clearly getting a bit too far in front of their station and thought that all they had to do to win the GF to was to turn up on GF day to receive the trophy
The fact that Gale or Cas couldn't replicate the Connor McGregor swagger on GF night said it all for me  |
