Not rose tinted at all. Briggs has a pretty ordinary skill set, a decent last tackle kick, made breaks and was poor in defence. Borderline Super League standard. All in all much better than Luke Gale

His kicking out of his hands is hopeless. His last tackle plays, worse. Briggs got half a dozen games, Gale's had 2 1/2 years and was chosen over and above Sammut. Nobody's saying our forwards are helping. They're asking about the coaches call on the number 7 shirt and they're right.

Was he? I was under the impression that Sammut was sold by the administrator to Wakefield.

Gale has been consistently poor since he arrived, a number of fans including myself said he wasn't good enough, but we were told to give him time (apparently he's a class act!!!) and the usual excuses were made. He's had more than enough time and he hasn't improved at all, he's shown slight glimmers of talent but at the end of the day, unfortunately, he's just not very good and we're now stuck with him.

Herbert was amazing

Don't...

To be fair I thought Gale was ok in 2012, where we had big forceful pack, but even then I wouldn't have thought you'd build a team around him as Cummins has done by extending his contract and confirming that Gale and Gaskell would be in front of Sammut!

Head and shoulders above Gale & Herbert is not 'bordering' on SL standard. Gale is a decent player, as good as Briggs, he is just lost without a dominant team around him. I remember the Bulls best SH of the 20th century being equally lost behind a much better team.

Shad Royston 20games 12 trys . Luke Gale 45 games 9 trys marc Herbert 21games 4trys

Royston was not too bad IMO. We have certainly had much worse over the last few years.

In regards to the OP, I would have to say, that on expectation levels alone, Gale is the bigger disappointment. He was supposed to be our main playmaker and the one to make us tick. A pre-planned, identified, quality signing. Herbert was more of a desperation signing that never worked out.

However, Gale at least has a suitable haircut, something which could not be said about Herbert.

Hairist.

I prefer "hair envy" TT.

Why would anyone with hair have a mullet? Because they can.

Hair is over rated.

I have never seen Gale come up with anything noteworthy and said it a while ago.Whoever offered him a LT contract while letting such as Sammut go wants his borlox chopping off and if that was you Cummins then you should go on that alone never mind the spineless displays your team is serving up to long suffering fans.
Disenchanted doesn't come close.
