You could argue that two of the biggest earning high profile players who were not performing last year where Fonua & Sneyd - moving both on is great business, ruthless and without sentiment which is what we've been asking for for ages.

I said when we signed Lovadua and Evans that nothing would change at the club and to still expect the same play next season and a finishing position of 8th-9th but with the signing of Gale I'm excited to see that our same old same old boring play is gonna change. We all know it's a risk but I doubt Reynolds will have as bad a season as his first and now with Gale I feel much more optimistic moving forward

Good.context. Do you know what his injury status is?

Hasn’t played since doing his knee in August against Leigh but Agar confirmed the other day that all our players would be back and ready to start pre season training later this month...apart from Liam Sutcliffe

“I had the first running session on Monday (5 weeks ago now) - straight line, probably 60 per cent - and everything felt great, no bother.

"I ramped it up [yesterday] - 70-80 per cent straight line running - ad it all felt sweet.

I’ll have to see how it reacts, but hopefully everything is a-okay.”

Thanks, hopefully we see him in pre season in the next week or two.

I wonder, who was the last (but one) player we signed from Leeds?

it's one up and one down next year and we won't finish bottom.

Jay Pitts 2012?

When was this confirmed, as far as I’m aware, it’s 3 down 1 up. I read something about Super League clubs not being happy about it (obviously) and something else about a playoff between top of Championship and the SL club finishing 3rd from bottom but nothing concrete either way.

“There should be a positive announcement by Christmas,” Rimmer said.

Does nobody think we have a new 6&7 lined up for 2023? Would make sense seeing they let sneyd move on when he had chance and only giving gale a years contract makes me think they've already got someone lined up, Reynolds contract is up aswell so do we reckon they've something in the pipeline?

We're apparently in for Dylan Napa, but looks like Catalans lead the race currently.

As for Sneyd, clearly right move for him and family as he can get a nice pay packet nearer home. He leaves a legend. Gale I'm not so sure about but I think given the market it's a gamble we had to make.

The Australian press are linking him to Catalans, Leeds and Rovers.
