It was always going to be a gamble for both clubs.
He could go on to lead Leeds back to finals and be a star player. He could suffer one more injury and end his career.
Short-term we might have been better with him. But I think Danny Richardson is a better long-term option - he’s got ten years left in the game and will be at his peak when Galey is sat at home in his slippers watching games on TV.

Gsle was never going to turn into a poor player despite his injury.
Tonight the options available to all players was embarrassing.
Disappointed that he was out for so long as l am sure young Jake would have flourished even more.

as most of you will know from my previous posts i am in brid and watch sky games in a pub that has a great mixture of super league fans. i was amazed tonight that all 5 rhino's fans hated gale because he didn't have the patience to click his heels and wait in the wings behind burrow and mcguire. didn't realise the feelings ran that deep.

Noticed he isn’t kicking the goals now after starting the season doing so. If they are protecting his leg that may suggest he isn’t as fit as he could be. They were terrible against Hull and haven’t plaid a decent side yet so we shall see what happens.

Be interesting to see what happens against us. We know his game very well so we close it down they have nothing. Have we really changed much since Gale played for us? Not sure just yet but we aren’t quite as flowing yet.

As for any regret, none at all from me. Feel we got a great deal and one bad hit ends his season and possibly career. DR has lots of time on his side and with DP coaching we look good at 6 and 7 for many years.

Gale asked to leave so for all I care I'm glad we let him go. He wanted to chase the money in the final years of his career so can't blame him but the fact Cas stood by him through his injuries then he wanted to leave as soon as he gets fit is a joke. I'm glad he went.

Leeds got what they wanted and we got what we wanted. Both will work out well for both clubs respectively.

Gale was non existent against Hull in R1, but as gradually got more involved against the likes of KR & Salford. I actually thought he was anonymous against Warrington last week and was definitely outshone by Lui and Myler. He took his tries well last night against Toronto and made a few decent contributions, but again, most do against Toronto. The acid tests will come against your Saints, Wigans, even us where he'll be targeted.

Toronto have the worst props in super league and Wires weren't much better week before makes for what will happen when they come down lane in a couple of weeks all the more tasty tho

I'm all for players getting best deals for themselves but I lost my respect for Gale when he asked to leave

Gale as gone and good luck to him i felt the same when Leeds took Hardisty from us, the club could have done no better than replacing him with an England Knights player

Don’t think many are that bothered Luke Gale left, more how he went about engineering his move away from the club. Since he won MOS in 2017, he played about 1/3 of 2 seasons, yet we still managed to get a good fee for a player with a bad injury record who was also in his 30s

All true I agree but with cas we are not guaranteed to keep any player for seven year if somebody comes in with a, good offer for Richardson if as a good two years he will be sold specially with no profit from a staduim move looking less likely to happen. So would not pressume somebody going to stay that long.

i dont think myself Danny will look to leave,the coach made comment last week how pleased he was with the way he had improved his defending early days but he looks a lot better player in a short space of time at Cas

I agree in the short time he’s been with us he’s becoming a more confident player, at leigh he was a shadow of the player we knew at saints.
As the season goes on I believe he’ll be a MOS contender, not saying he’ll win it, but he’ll be up there.

As have been said, sadly the negative will be he’ll see out his contract with us, then be on his way to pastures new, back to saints maybe or even the NRL.
Always happens with our better players.

Don't miss him one bit. Much rather see Richardson'sdreamy mug on the big screen kicking goals than that ugly bald t*at trying to sort his tuft.

It’s a job. Most of us have/had jobs. Most of us would have changed jobs for more cash, more challenge, a promotion, a change of direction, boredom, any number of reasons.
When Gale was with us he gave it all and contributed greatly to where we are. Good luck to him, loyalty at work is a concept Thatcher got shut of!

Never look back!

Whatever your views =on Gale may be, I only see the opportunity we now have wth Truey and Richardson. POtentially our half-back pairing for years to come, possibly the international pairing as well. What a prospect that is...
