I was wondering about him, I hear a lot about Lino but nothing on Gale who is with us for another season.

Well one thing is for sure, if Matt Ellis ever gets hold of the club, he is going to have one huge pile of excrement to sort out quickly before the start of next season.

I thought the tales of Smith ticked a lot of boxes for us at the start of the season, he never seemed to actually achieve anything on the pitch though, just like most of the rest of the team. Not overly bothered if it's true, but I imagined he would have helped us out next year if he got picked.

I'm not happy with the rumour of Dagger to York though, he should have started every game this year and would have been a 'must keep' from this squad for me.

When players know they can just walk away to another club with an increase in salary if the club they are playing for is relegated that probably explains why some of them have just gone through the motions throughout the season. A bigger club flashing the cash it's a no brainer, just show your face and wait for season to end.

No great loss IMO but good luck to him.

I guess his highlight reel will still be mainly stuff whilst at Fev.

He’s definitely talented, but for me he is a project player who needs the time to adapt better to running a team at SL level. We didn’t have the time or resources this year to have project players unfortunately, we needed him to hit the ground running.

Yes Mr Gale what can you say about that signing another pensioner will Trinity ever learn Proctor Lineham etc

Another woeful signing that has ultimately contributed to our relegation. Imagine if we didn’t waste the first half of the season with Smith and Gaskell.

Unfortunately we have signed Gale in the twilight of his career. That said, Lino needed to stand up more this year for sure, he has been an attacking spectator. He’s had numerous spine partners, but is it a coincidence the majority of our wins have come when he didn’t play? He’s in the peak of his career, Gale was playing in a GF and WC final at his age, least he’s been there and done it.

Smiths a handy player with some potential. Whether he’ll realise that remains to be seen but he’ll be a decent enough back up option for Hull.

Will settle for a swap

Will need to improve greatly to get into the Hull first team I would have thought.
Not a massive loss.

Yet we all waited with baited breath on the news that our 34 year old Talisman was coming back to rescue us . I’ll settle for those type of pensioners any day than some of the wet wipes we have at present . Couldn’t hold a candle to big Dave no matter the age

He's nowhere near as good as Dwyer.
