Luke Gale wasn’t “physically good enough” at 20 and was playing for Doncaster in the lower leagues. He hasn’t had too bad of a career, has he?

Your missing the point we need to try rankin and aston at halfs trueman ia doing nothing in half's. Always thought trueman would make better fullback then half back.
He's not that productive because 1. He's knackered from being exposed to so much rugby at a young age in a pivotal position and 2. Because he's missing having gale take the reigns and give him the freedom his game needs at this point

Moving him to fullback wouldn't solve anything
I disagree with you should be peaking at his age i think its a simple case he as being over rated and not that creative never sends any body through a gap or takes line on.
Peaking at 20 :lol:

If players peak at 20 nowadays, that means 99% of our squad are past their best.

Better sell them all and start again. That Luke Gale - past his prime now!

Remember a certain Roger Millward, made his debut at 16 years of age. Transfered to Hull KR at 18 years of age, at 20 years of age he was the leading points scorer for KR, helping them win the Yorkshire Cup, also made debut for Great Britain at 17. Obviously not at his peak , but shows what can be achieved at an early age. Malcolm Reilly was only just turned 20 when winning his first Challenge Cup medal. Age is no barrier in sport as long as they are good enough.

You got a feeling 10 YEARS AGO that Gale was more physically fit then as opposed to now. Look at photos comparing then and now and you will clearly see that PHYSICALLY Luke is I’m far superior shape now to then. He didn’t get a break at Leeds as he was behind the GB halves with the GB captain moved into the halves to cover injuries!!! Surely even you can see that you’re now just posting tosh?

Wasn’t Danny Orr still in his teens when he established himself in the first team at half back?

Peak suggests you’re at the top and then it’s all down hill... people develop at different rates... the fact you pull Millward out the archives shows that being at the top of your game at young age is the exception not the rule.

Trueman is good, he has a lot to do in a team that changes week in week out. I’d like to see him rested but by no means think he should be out of the team long term.

This is what the Forum is about, peoples opinions. As you will have noticed, I didn't say either of those two didn't peak at a young age, but both commanded respect at a young age. As did Lee Crooks, Shaun Edwards, the list is long. That's why I feel sorry for Jake, those I mentioned had experience around them, he hasn't anyone on the pitch to help him, and he looks lost at times.

He is a victim of circumstance this year, for sure. He would be completely different had we fielded a consistent team this year.

Peaking? Don’t talk daft. But he should be developing and due to over-exposure this season he isn’t doing. Time for him to have a break.
