I'm just glad we're actively trying alternatives to players who are on the decline or not performing consistently any more.

Well done to Pearson and Hodgson identifying weaknesses and being pro active, all signings come with an element of risk, not all work out, but at least we arnt throwing 3 or 4 year deals at players who clearly need moving on and replacing.

I'd gladly take Gales all round game over Sneyds inconsistent kicking game, for 1 season if it means we have more time to prepare a new half back pairing for the season after. It's given us over 12 months to identify and negotiate with possible targets.

Yes Sneyd has been great in the past, but was it only me who thought his kicking was terrible for most parts last season? No running game and passing left alot to be desired, so when your only real weapon starts failing, the writings on the wall. The games evolved we need more well rounded players in the spine. Keep Gale fit and we have an upgrade on Sneyd imo

Wouldn't actually mind Mason Lino, season after this

While I've yet to see alot of Lovodua, the other 3 are upgrades for me and I expect Lovodua to be an upgrade too.

He will always be Uncle Fester.

Given the surroundings around Gale and trying to keep his legs healthy, may be wise to let Connor who os a reasonable kicker the job.

How are you feeling about the partnership you’ll have in the halves with Josh Reynolds?

“Josh dropped me a message the other night and he seems a top lad.

“How I play will free him up and he's a character, but a good player and hopefully we can get the best out of each other. The boys tell me he's a great lad and I look forward to linking up with him and seeing what we can do.”

I stand corrected,where’s that from?

Nah, not happening, Bonaire told us a dozen times he’s got a feeling Reynolds isn’t coming back. He’s got to be right at least once.
