Pleased Gale is out, his performances this year even before he was injured didn't warrant an international call up. Hope he recovers well from his injury and gets back to something like we know he can be for next season.

This time the criticism is justified, he was awful on Friday

Yeah if your main players stink the house down in a big game the outcome is always going to be what it was on Friday

I saw him take a knock to the knee about 10mins in and he was so mad with himself because he knew he couldn’t perform to his best.and limped for about 15mins after that.

i can accept Luke having an off day, but the way he shouts at the ref & team mates isnt doing him any favours & he will get sent off for persistently doing it.

Playing behind a pack that got bullied. Any half back on the planet would have looked ordinary behind our front 6 on Friday.

It's what happens when you play 2nd rowers at prop - especially at Wigan in a semi

Having a significant knee injury may explain why he was ‘awful’.Most would be

Top players turn the game around in adversity Sam Burgess got his jaw broke in the first minute of a grand final played the rest of the 80 minutes and got man of the match and won the game for his team gale was totally outplayed by Maguire in last year's grand final and he was poor on Friday making excuses for players is part of the problem we have in my opinion

Cheekbone and tbf you don't need that to run or kick whilst I'd say it's uncomfortable you would get through a game. Gale's biggest problem last Friday was he was playing behind a pack that were well beaten the same as in the grand final.some of our forwards that were poor Friday were the same ones that fluffed they're lines at old Trafford.

Burgess face was a mess he must have been in a lot of pain I think gale and truey will be the best two half backs in comp next season but there needs to be a you will beat us over are dead body's mentality in these big games next season if there's not the same thing will happen

Milo dosent think its a mental thing...i beg to differ ... your mindset has to change in big games and ours does not.

Firstly we have to get a win at all cost attitude and instill this right from pre season....more than anything else beat Sts in their back yard....thats the way to break that winning barrier...beating Saints....everything should be geared to that game

beat them and we will know how to get the monkey off of our back in the big games.....winning the mental battle is everything and in the end of season games using the mental toughness to get that Sts win will be the factor that gets us over the line

just a thought

Agree on that and I might be in a minority here but I don't blame Luke gale one bit either for Friday or the grand final. It's in the coal face where we are losing these games by not fronting up in the middle,we could have had Jonathan thurston in the halves and we would have still lost whilst our middle men continually cough the ball when put under intense pressure. We really lack some Mongeral in our pack other than watts and we are too nice. All well and good having forwards that can play at the line and tip on but we need another couple of props that put the opposition on the back foot by driving hard.

Our own coach as said he's not having it next year the team not having the right mental attitude and so on I just think making excuses ..we set off too soon we had too much time on are hands and all that crap is part of the problem but that's just me
And yes I take your point mate about half backs behind beaten packs

Nobody was complaining about Gale not having the right attitude when he got out of his hospital bed and kicked us to Old Trafford last year.
Sorry if that fact doesn’t fit your argument

I still think there are elements of the club/team that still have the small club mentality,there is also a portion of fans with the same ethos that we are punching above our weight. The club/players and fans need to be more ruthless in its approach and that attitude needs to change.after all if we don't believe we can be the best we never will be.
