| Sorry to correct my post on the other thread its a two year deal
I might be reading too much into it but Hetherington saying it was amicable between the two clubs seems to imply it wasn’t amicable between leeds and gale

| It’s a gamble that we won’t get long injury to either Sezer or Austin. Gale leaving had an air of predictability about it though.
We are crap in cover but having 3 first grade half backs at once is a luxury. They will feel they have enough cover if needed, and that it’s unlikely we’ll have as bad a season for injuries again.

| Whether calculated or otherwise, the situation with the halves is a lot clearer now. No plan B shimmering away in the background distracting everyone in the process

| We have no real cover at all now. We had excellent options in the halves for once and Gale leaving leaves us badly short in the halves now. We need to add another half now.

Myler in the halves looks alright on paper, but in reality we've won a scant handful of games with him there. I really hoped never to see Sutty in the halves again, but now it seems an injury away. I think Leeming is the best back up option we have to be honest.

Considering Luke Gale's injury record this is a very good deal for the player. Guaranteed to extend his wage earnings days for an extra year regardless.

| Looks to me they have signed him for 1 year with an option of a second year presumably dependant on his fitness.
Hull will not be paying a fee which seems good business on Hulls behalf.

| The Hull press release states an "initial 1 year deal" so guessing a 1 year with an additional year option if Leeds are saying 2 year deal.

| Could this be Rafiq fallout? I.e. Cutting the wage bill to cover loss of sponsorship from Emerald.

But that would leave us with Dwyer starting at hooker, which we all know is just bad.
I can't see any upside to Leeds from this at all so far. We get some salary cap but who can we spend it on at this stage?

I reckon something has gone on between Gale and the club to be honest.
So the upside of that would be getting rid of a player who doesn’t want to be there, team spirit has been a massive improvement maybe the club don’t want someone who is disruptive
We’ve also got form for a decent mid season signing the cap space would definitely help with that

| If, and the emphasis is on ‘if’, Austin and Sezer are going to start the season as first choice 6 & 7, it wouldn’t have been long before Gale would have been unhappy anyway. The signing of Austin would be very questionable if he isn’t going to be played in the halves.

That’s what most felt as well but Agar has been very local and consistent in his views that Austin was signed to play a utility role with the clear inference therefore that injuries permitting, Sezer and Gale were going to be the starting HBs so something has clearly gone on as this is a pretty big ‘U’ turn in the original plan that was put in the public domain

| I dunno, this has been simmering for ages. Who gets the captaincy removed like that?
Signing Sezer and Austin will definitely have put Gale’s nose out.
I have nothing against Gale, he’s a good player and seems honest etc. I can imagine him getting under other people’s skin though.
The jigsaw isn’t complete for Leeds. The advantage to us will only come if we can sign a good player this season with the extra cap.

GH says no further recruitment planned. Guess we'll have to see.

I think it’s a possibility that what was being said in public was said with the intention of keeping Gale happy for the time being, bearing in mind Austin wouldn’t have even started training with the club. Maybe the club have doubts over Gale’s chances of staying injury fee for most of the season.

That’s the sort of thing I’d expect him to say if further recruitment was planned. If we add a big, powerful prop we’d certainly enhance our chances of seriously challenging next season.
