We really struggled with injuries that year.
We used 48 players in total.

And we only win 7 all season. 5 of which was when Wally was here.
That next season was awful to watch.

To sign him for one season is embarrassing. To sign him for two?

Proves we need a DOR.

No better option right now.
Let's get behind him.

Sadly that's the predicament we find ourselves in. Gale, past it as he is and a massive gamble, is better than what we have. We can't be any worse than what we've served up so far so he has a very low bar to aim at. Still galls me we paid a transfer fee for him though. We do make some financially bad decisions for a club with limited spend, especially as he was off contract in the winter. Everything we do is a reactive.

I can’t think of a better option at this time . He’s got a rugby brain no doubt about that- let’s face it we been a bit short of that this season!
Nothing at all to lose I’ll support him and hope it pays off.

Finn had a rugby brain ,and a fast team round him Gale as got the slowest ,oldest ,worst team we have had at Wakefield for years

So he is the best option available.... well I am not in touch with who else could be around either UK or elsewhere, I do not have that contact with other clubs.

However One thing I am sure of is that we are in a desperate situation and that brings risks and signings like this.

Will it solve the problems we have.... we will know the answer to that in the next few games.

Unlike many others who are perhaps put off by his 'cockiness'( good halfback often are) I wanted him in close season. Let's hope even if the legs are not as quick the rugby brain still operates well.

Cockiness often runs alongside confidence and we need that desperately!
It was because of his cockiness that made him one of the players you hated but wish he played for you!
I remember the winning drop goal he kicked for Cas’
2 or 3 seasons ago - how I wished he played for us that day!

I agree re the cockiness and would add how much he loves a stage so he'll know there are many watching in the hope he'll fail and I hope this will motivate him

Time flies mate, that drop goal was 2017. A lot of the perceived cockiness was one of several "in jokes" at Cas at the time. You may remember Connor McGregor was in his pomp at the time and Gale did an impression of his victory walk.

Easier to be cocky when you are winning.
If he gets us a W he can walk like whoever he likes for me.

Haha I remember-6 years ago wow!

When a team is relegated, all the players contracts are made null and void.

Yeah, we kind of know that already, so we can only assume that Gale's contract is likely to continue if (when) we do get relegated ??
