There was an article on-line somewhere regarding Watts resigning and that he wanted to mentor younger players at Cas, there was a photograph of Dagger in the same article, for some strange reason.

If we get speed in the three- quarters and 9 could work .It did with Finn in is first season

Other than Gales first game where he really took charge I haven’t been impressed by Gale. He was largely anonymous in most of the games. I personally wouldn’t be happy going into next season with a halfback combination of Gale/Lino.

It will probably fare better in the championship but there must be better available.

I agree with this, I actually thought the last 3 or 4 games Lino looked much better than Gale did.

But despite all that effort he was still largely ineffective in an attacking sense. Against HKR, up until the yellow card, I thought we looked much quicker with ball in hand and subsequently more threatening, as we have in all the games Lino has missed. Coincidence?

He did I agree. But as below still not good enough and for some reason Lino seems to struggle to link up and create space on the edges. There’s a few elements that really hold him back like the stop, delay and pass at the line which is predictable. Sometimes it’s jus best to send the ball straight on even received to stretch the line. His decision making in this isn’t great.

I think he will find more space in the championship for his running game but alot of work is needed with the halfbacks pre season and we need to bring in a strong signing here.

I wouldn’t be adverse to Gale assisting in the coaching set up and being a rotation option for 2024.

I just think we need a strong signing in this area and some change.
