He’s not played less than 29 games in a single season since 2014, I’d say playing half the games than you have done for the last 4 years could be classed as “hardly”.

You can class it as hardly, I won’t class someone who played half the year as “hardly” played.

The games he played after his injury he wasn't fit and really needed surgery, which he got in october, don't let that get in the way of your narrative though printer. Thst being that Cas and wakey only finish above the big boys when the big boys don't play well and have poor seasons. Nothing based on their own ability and qualities.

See my reply on VT.

You seem to be on this forum a lot lately ThePrinter. Thinking of switching to the red white and blue?
You know you'd love it.

Hopefully his loss will contribute to a very poor season for Cas resulting in their relegation.

I’m not letting the games he played at the end of the year get in the way of anything. He just wasn’t injured as early in the season as some would like to make out.

givvover, we're holding them back, [ithey[/i had a 5h1t season because[i we [/idon't have any money

blimey Town, don't you read this forum

Unfortunately I’m not allowed on the Leeds forum because a little crybaby runs it who is a wannabe rumour journalist and didn’t like it when I pointed out his rumours that he got off twitter and pretended like he had sources were wrong. He never really got over me pointing out that his Ryan Brierley to Leeds claim that he was 100% convinced on, was complete nonsense. Unfortunately some mods abuse their power.

It's a tough job and I know some people have said similar about me so can't comment on that but you have always been fair and honest on here so you are more than welcome.

Better get back on track now before someone tells me I've derailed the thread.

A friend of mine says there are already rumours of Cas bringing someone in to replace.

He has tbf, a bit of a wum on VT though.

Let's face it even without Gale the worst Cas would do would finish 8th, they'd have to be (as would any team) be retry atrocious to finish below Salford and London.

Saying that, seen some of their fans saying there down to bare bones halfback wise for the start of the season.

That's the point, attrition is a killer in RL so you need to start at full strength. Losing Gale alone won't knock them out though it still a big loss but then what happens if they pick up another which tends to be how these things go. I honestly am amazed that most fans aren't more positive about what is a big loss for a team we are surely hoping to challenge this season.

Been reading they are going to play the game and deregister him for the year and get someone in. Not sure if that is possible or not as he’s on a playing contract but reported by one of the journalists on Twitter.

He is a huge loss to them for a whole season. Difficult to see where a quality replacement is going to come in and on a year’s deal at this stage in proceedings. Trueman showed his worth for them last year and is deserving of a chance to step up, whether they can risk that for a whole year though?

Without wishing to be nasty – this must be seen a bonus for those planning on challenging for the play offs this year, us included.

At last a bit of sense - they have been unlucky in that they have missed the last player available who was Drinkwater and I assume they would need to get rid of a quota player for that - that leaves British players and I don't see many of them available.

Not a case of us gloating it's bad luck for them and it could just as easily happen to us but to down play it is utterly daft, it's a bad one for Cas.
