Gale was almost completely ineffective against KR in the home game without Orr on the pitch, and good against KR away with Orr on the pitch.

I don't know how that makes him better than Dorn.

What do you expect? Gale to carry the team with no half back partner? Of course he's going to play better with Orr on the pitch, they link together, and Orr is a specialised scrum half.

My point was that Gale has shown no evidence of being better than Dorn, so I was interested in what made you so certain.

What I want, among other things, is for our half backs to be able to win games, regardless of who they are partnered with. I also want Gale to do well, he should be the long term replacement and current cover for Danny Orr. I think he has the talent to do so.

I suspect the talent is certainly there and Leeds have just signed someone up themselves which confirms it. SL clubs just lack the nerve to take a gamble nowadays. If BM releases a few this season and brings some unknown in from the NL I will wait to see them perform before I call it a backward step. Gale has certainly expanded our strength in depth if nothing else
