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.

Re: Gale or Herbert - Who is worse : Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:47 pm  

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.

Re: Gale or Herbert - Who is worse : Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:16 pm  

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.
