Quote: Bullseye "Thing is if you decide you don't want Gale who do you bring in who is better? There's unlikely to be anyone in the NRL that is going to be much better and willing to come over given their rising salary cap. Even if there was we have no quota space. If youdecide to recruit a half from SL or NL you're unlikely to be able to attract anyone better as the club isn't flush and isn't a big draw due to our poor performances in recent years.
IMO Jeffries is never going to be consistent enough to get us higher than 8th. He's had two spells with us and we ought to know what we're getting from him by now. He's not really an organiser, Sammut certainly isn't and he may be off anyway due to quota issues. That leaves Gale and a chance for Southernwood or an academy player. I think Gale will do alright for us and is certainly an improvement on Herbert.'"
Why do we have to bring anybody in? Ben Jeffries is a better scrum half based on their games this season. Certainley our best run of form has come with BJ playing 7 this year. IMO, There seems to be a lack of idea now Gale is calling the shots(although I do take into account other factors, ie fatigue and injury for stumbling form recently). I do hope he gets better though and is good for us, I'm just not sure though, as I was with Marc Herbert. For me, with a fully fit squad this year and no signings/releases in the halves next season, Ben Jeffries starts.
