Yes, that's the entire point.
The squad next year had an almost once-in-a generation depth of quality to it, across the park thanks to Austin being cheap and our younger players being still paid low salaries compared to the upgrades that are undoubtedly coming in a year or so. Gale leaving seriously undermines that.
I don't agree Ghost.
No team can afford to have 3 quality HB's in case of injury.
Are you expecting Gale to sit in the stands waiting for an injury to Sezer or Austin? No chance.
We forget that Myler is an ex international HB.
Would he be our first choice - of course not.
But he provides adequate cover if needed.
Along with Leeming, johnson or Sutcliffe if we're desperate.
We just have to hope that we don't get as desperate as last season.
Maybe the new strength and conditioning team will help in that respect...
We need to sign a British prop now.
I think Thompson, Watts or Sutton are probably out of reach for us.
English is a good shout.
I still think Harrison would have been worth a shot.
