As the title says, who is the worst scrum half?

Gaskell!

Gaskell is a legend

Gale. At least Herbert had a few try assist to his name. I don't have enough characters to type what I think of Gale.

His passing for a half back is woeful. He seems incapable of being able to pass further than tbe player stood next to him. When he actually did pass it more than that, it went to the ankles, in to the face. Maybe he needs to go on the primary school lessons and taught about the breadbasket.

We did not even look like scoring. No dummy runners. It's his job to get people running. That's what Cummins said he's good at!!!

Every single play he fires a face ball at the first man and hit his face or is by his ankles. On the rare occasion he passes round the back, the players are usually running the same way so it's easy for defenders to defend.

Worst half back to ever put on a bulls shirt, yet Cummins makes him VC and gives him a long contract!!!!!

Awful awful awful

Luke Gale. Completely out of his depth.

Championship level at best is Gale.

Gale is worth a few tries every game. Unfortunately not for us.

Adam obriens kick at the end was best kick we put in all night at least in turned Leeds round

Is Gale's kick straight into the full back's arms every time part of a cunning plan?

Looks like it but wherever hardaker or briscoe stood gale always found them

Long term contract for Gale
Not one for Sammut, least he had flair and could turn a game. Our top try scorer aswell!!

Nice one FC

As did Gaskell.

I'd pick Herbert every day of the week.

That puzzled me bullboy101 Sammut did blow hot and cold but even cold he was miles ahead of gale, I would have loved to see Sammut and Gaskell as our 6 & 7

Kicking wasn't great today , but the speed in which we move the ball out and run on to the ball let us down , we only made a few yards each tackle

Give over, he isn't playing well at the moment but neither are quite a few players. Herbert showed nothing in his time with us, Gale has shown glimpses but seems to struggle to string some consistent performances together.

What I don't get is when where in trouble gale rumours always come out of the woodworm. Hull saying they were interested in him, what are they seeing!!!!

Move over everyone, we have a England Knights scrum half!

TBH Herbert was worse, where just all abit vexed. Remember that game where almost every kick was charged down... Think is was against Warrington.

Gale may be hiding his light under a bushel until the fixtures where in theory at least we have some chance. He doesn't want to give his best moves away.

Herbert was with us for 12 months. Gale has been with us for 2 and a half years...

Herbert wasn't offered a new improved contract after a less than impressive season like Gale was.

The point is that Herbert was last gasp option when we got messed about by Orford - essentially he was all that was available for that season, and was shipped off - rightly - at the end of that season.

Gale is the guy that was chosen for the role, handed the vice captaincy and a better contract. We constantly hear about how good he is, how the team will be built around him etc.

You can't compare those two circumstances really

For that reason, I'm more disappointed with what Gale does - or doesn't do - than I ever was with Herbert.

Briggs was head and shoulders better than both. As is Sammut.... as was Addy.
Gale being here over 2 years and given 2 new contracts look dreadful decisions.

On the original question Herbert was slightly worse but it's close.

I totally agree if Briggs had been given the game time and patience we have shown Gale I think he would be a great player now . We would have probably have lost him in the financial crisisinstead of him going back to featherstone . Even the full back we got from Halifax that had one season with us was a million times better at passing and making breaks. (I can't remember his name tho sorry )

Shad Royston?

I think you rare remembering Briggs through rose-tinted glasses. If he was good enough he would have been snapped up by now. Look at how Powell has made an excellent scrum half out of the average Sneyd.

correct, ME. prefered to move to Pia iirc, saw what was coming.
