I know they were only rumours but surely if we were in for Luke Gale we would of got him , in my opinion he is just what we needed to rebuild a team around . Now if the rumours are to be believed there is an even bigger name about to come on the market , if we are the biggest club in super league surely we must be in for the hottest property in super league, cant actually believe the pies will let him go mind

Have got him even





We [uwere[/u the biggest club in SL (up until 2015)...we are now a ROCK bottom dweller with a real chance of championship footie next season. We might be lucky to sign another Weller Hauraki maybe

Are we going to have threads about Nick Scruton when his move of clubs is announced too? if so might aswell start one now. We can't say we are missing out with everyone who moves.

Gale signed a 5 year deal at cas now apparently

your comparing nick scruton to luke gale and john bateman , get a grip

Comparing? I am saying are we going to have a thread for every player that moves, as we have missed out. Not sure where you get a comparison from.

I am saying they are exactly the players we should be going in for and need , top of there game in super league so yes there should be a thread as to why a big club who are struggling and need new players are not investing in said players

And you know Leeds didn't make Gale an offer, because...?



Or are you another one of those Leeds fans who believes that the club should be able to attract any player it wants?

It was only a rumour Leeds were in for Gale, which was then given further legs by someone's alleged inside info on him that he'd be prepared to drop everything at Castleford if the opportunity arose to join Leeds.



It was probably a load of bull but fans will believe anything when they are desperate to hear of signings.

Luke Gale's doing well in Super League, don't know why he'd be interested playing in Championship.

Probably the truth of it. Leeds isn't as big of a draw as some fans on here seem to think, and is certainly not the place where you would look to go to purely for the money.



If i was a Gale, i would be enjoying my rugby too playing in that Cas side under a quality coach.

It's well known that Gale felt he was badly treated at Leeds (as do McShane and Powell). I doubt any would want to return.

Given that Gale wasn't out of contract until the end of next season, it's interesting to read his comments that he had interest from elsewhere. Surely this would have been a clear case of "tapping up"?
