Having said that if Gale should find a return to form and fitness of his early Castleford days and Reynolds can also turn the clock back then maybe you'll have me eating my words.
More likely you will come to realise that for all his faults you have lost your main matchwinner in Marc Sneyd.
That's a rather simplistic view to take as Sneyd may have dropped the odd drop goal or 2 to win us a game but his defence was poor. inevitablly conceding tries as well to lose games but that can be said of all players, the sum of a team should be greater than it's parts and is so a collective effort, not down to just one player or play.
What Sneyd did do through no fault of his own is make us 1 dimensional and predictable and Hodgson has taken action to rectify this.
We will be a different proposition. I don't think we'll miss Sneyd as we're going in a different direction but our season all depends on the fitness of our halves, who can be described as sicknotes at best.
