It’s possible to read GH’s comments on Sinfield leaving and take a view that recruitment for next year has been done. Hope not but time
Will tell.

I’m not sure we are - it will depend on retention too.

If we don’t end up retaining Martin and/or Hurrell that is a right chunk of cap ans quota spots. Can’t see us not making more additions in that context.

It will depend who becomes available and in which key positions we might want t to strengthen in.

Personally ill be happy to go as we are, I don’t think we’ve actually seen what this squad can do for one reason or another if Hurrell and Martin get extensions id be happy with the squad, when we add in Bentley and Sexer plus a fit Walker snd Broadbent i think we’ve got a squad capable of doing something

I think the statement from GH about our recruitment/squad for 2022 being sorted simply means we’ve retained the OOC players we want to but have yet to formally announce them and that anyone new coming in (ie Austin) has already been signed but again is just waiting to be officially announced, so our business is all done, just that some of it is yet to be released to the public

Spot on.

I don`t think Gale will be with you next season, wherever he is, he wants to be the centre of attention, sometimes that goes for him as it has done over the last few years, sometimes it doesn`t.

I fully expect him to be at Wakefield next year.

Is that it then ?

I have to say a HB combo of Austin and Sezer looks more complementary than Gale and Sezer, but both are an upgrade on what we've had available this year.

Gale is a bit up and down for me - I do like him but he has some rubbish in his game too and always has. What I will say that he's linked in well with Mellor, Sutcliffe and Myler on that left hand side at times and that's a pretty potent combination.

Also worth noting as Marty says - our passing from DH is terrible at times, it puts our halves on the back foot way too often and you're never going to see them at their best until we get smooth and accurate passing from the ruck.

Fair point about distribution from dummy.
What I would add is that the on field leadership in last night's second half was a sight better than in the Catalans games. Whether that was down to captaincy, who knows

As i said in the Hull thread ours isn’t the best but Hulls was the worst ive seen in SL

bradford fan predicted him leaving before it all kicked off

Wasn't Mick gledhill was it?

no

I think Galey will be fine playing in front of a decent crowd every other week. I think he's one of those types who feeds off the crowd.

Dock his wages for two weeks for his latest ban. Utter stupidity.

I wonder if he ever thinks to himself “ why did I lose the captaincy “ ? Saw something with Jon Wilkin where he said they would wind up Jake Connor so he lost the plot can you imagine having dumb and dumber in the same team? All we would be saying is “if only we can get them on the field at the same time”.

Must of been something and nothing as I cannot recall any incident during the game, nor can I remember Clark tripping any of your players.

Still had it on our sky box so watched it back and can’t see anything. RFL report says it was in the 25th minute which was when Adam Swift scored but sky were showing all the replays. I assume he approached the ref to gob off about the try and must have touched him in some way.

It's pretty clear cut and a definite ban.

He's becoming such a liability now.

What a 'kin liability he's been this year for a so called (former) captain. No confusion about any desire to sign Austin now.

On his way at the end of the season.

Wrong game. The ban was from the Warrington game. Came after the Charnley no try that was referred up to Video Ref. Video shows Gale did put his hands on referee.

Ah, well spotted. I'll shut up. As you were..
