Hope he fit for the World Cup

Very unlikely he's had 4 hours in pinder's A&E department.

For all the talking in the world, he's back when he's back.

Personally if we stick mcshane at 7 for now I'm reasonably confident he can do a good enough job.

Gale has been sensational but I don't think you'll find many coaches who say cas are a one man team. It's a massive hindrance, no doubt, but if we don't fulfil our potential and win the GF, I for one certainly won't be using it as an excuse.

Compared with other clubs, and other seasons, we've had an outstanding year in terms of injuries. Very rarely more than 1 or 2 starters out at once.

As it stands gale is the only absentee in our squad, which still makes us remarkably healthy for this time of year

It's because you're winning at a canter Dave, they hardly get tackled.

Not quite sure what your getting at.do you believe this is a staged injury/illness ?

If Wakefield don't make the top 4 which I hope you do by the way it will because you haven't won enough games not because Luke gale had his appendix removed.

We can be a lot more specific than that but lets see how the last two games pan out.
