We often get into the oppositions 20 but then flatter to deceive and fail to get pts on the scoreboard and Gale will certainly improve us in that area as he has a much better running and short kicking game than Sneyd. Gales injury record is a concern but the club seem to have taken that into account with only an initial year deal. Yes it could be a gamble but we’ve asked for change and AP & BH have done well considering the contract situations. I’d rather have Gale for a year with tine to look for a top replacement for 2023 rather rush it fit the sake of it.
Injury record aside Gale certainly improves us over Sneyd.

Sneyd has been a great servant for the club and will remain in the history books of being one of the immortals. I’m pleased we seem to be more pragmatic in our approach rather than sentimental.

We now have two pivots , well over 30 and who have appalling injury records, Gale admittedly only last year .

You really believe that this has all come about because supporters asked for change?
