GALE DEPARTURE CONFIRMED

[Mr XP]

Playing behind such monsters at saints is one thing, playing behind one good prop and 3 props past their best and daniel smith (still unsure about him ) is a completely different story , if Richardson cant look good playing in the current saints team he ain't gonna look good for us

Wish him all the best. he leaves us with great memories of one of the better periods in our history.
Is this the end of a era in terms of putting 2017 to bed. Yes we have others that remain but imo that team was built on gale and hardaker with the rest feeding off them.

Only time will tell if it was a good decision one way or the other, on paper it could be a great deal
For both clubs and equally it could turnout to be a disaster too.

Good luck to Gale, I can't hold any animosity to him as age and injuries have just caught up with him unfortunately. Richardson would seem the younger coach able player, also a better kicker. If I have one criticism of Gale, his penalty kicking for field position was woeful in terms of distance.

Will be announced as a Leeds player for next year once we've played our last game according to my usually very reliable source. £150k fee. Richardson coming to Cas from Saints.

My usually “very reliable source” says he’s staying ....

You wanna sack your source pal. Last three rumours I posted were Gale's appendix, Hardacre being sacked and now this.

I'll await Richardson to claim four from four.

i watched the video of Gale having some of his medical at Leeds this morning they were not holding back on anything with him ...wonder if hed still have been a leeds player if hed re-injured himself doing all them tests on his leg?

Apart from gales goal kicking,the rest was way under par,so for me Richardson is way better kicker

Saw a picture of him holding Leeds shirt. Think he'll look lovely in blue
