I know things change but I’m with you derbytiger. Never have we herd of this “burning desire” to return to Leeds before...could the package they’ve offered of been the ignition to this burn?
I reckon that was exactly the source of ignition Fumper. He mentions this ambition to return a number of times in the conference, though, basically saying he’s wanted to come back to Leeds ever since he left and his career wouldn’t have been complete if he hadn’t come back.

Plenty didn’t rate Gale when we signed him so, as you say, ‘we shall see’ - over to you Mr Powell.

think there are some that fear he could come back to bite them on the backside too...to be honest its a good deal for them too having Lomax and Fages and a couple of good prospects too

Well when you compare him to their current half backs, they are spoilt for choice. However, at 23 and having some Super League experience with a very good Saints team should see him in good stead for his arrival to us. He certainly doesn't lack any confidence and he seems to be very composed for a 23 year old, especially holding his nerve with the kicking duties.

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.

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.

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
