Well said,sir ! Good to see another unfashionable side doing well instead of the usual contenders.

Is Gale not currently the England half already?

Is he not arguably the best English half in SL?

If the hat fits wear it.

1) If we're going off the last 4 nations, no. could be one of many

2) I didn't say he wasn't. what I did say was that he goes missing and after watching him against NZ in the 4 nations I'm not convinced he's a test half, that's all.

3) We have a choice of: Gale, Brown, Sneyd, Williams, Smith, Widdop, Brough, Mellor, Myler. All of whom can play just as well, if not better than Gale if they play to their potential. and plenty there who have proven more consistent. (Except Myler... He really is utter dog poop.)



So I'm sorry if I'm not convinced by him just yet and I'm sorry if I'm not laughing and throwing pennies like the rest of the sky sports team do every time Gale's name is mentioned.

Spot on this, without question at club level he has been on form for 2/3 seasons. His international performances were way off the mark.

Gale pulls all the strings with Cas and he'll have a huge involvement in their training sessions. They have so many set plays which have been practised to perfection. That degree of co-ordination is not going to happen with an international team.

So they won nothing then, correct?

Cas played some sensational stuff last night......simply because they were allowed to.



Cas played some sensational stuff last week......simply because they were allowed to.



Cas played some sensational stuff against Leigh......simply because they were allowed to.



Are we spotting a recurring theme, here?



No wonder the Aussies walk through us, every time we play them. English players(and sides) are losing the art of tackling. Leeds were beyond pathetic, last night. As, at times, were we, last week. If you can't tackle, you'll get pulverised.



I watch RL to be entertained. Cas are entertaining me. They're being allowed to.



Instead of coaches pouring over video analysis for hours, maybe their time would be better spent in telling their charges how to tackle properly.



Just a thought.

Why we weren't in the market for Hardaker I'll never bloody know !!

Because our leader thinks we have better options at full back



I think he should take more water with his preferred spirit.

Do you think all clubs are capable of playing so sensationally if allowed to? I'm not sure other teams have the same flair as Castleford are currently showing.

A bit over the top this and I think an over simplification. I've watched all Cas games and I think there is more to this than the tackling of Leigh/Wire/Leeds. They are showing better attacking skills than any side I can remember since Wigan when they had Edwards/Paul/Offiah etc. For once Sky are getting excited for a reason.

Are Salford an excellent side too ?
