We have our Championship scrum half for next season, to replace the current incumbent. We cannot deny the average age of our first team must be one of or maybe the oldest in SL. With age comes injuries and lots of wrappings.

Well we certainly need to try something cos what we're doing now isn't anywhere close to working, whether he is the answer only time will tell.

Would he be my first/second/third choice? Nope.
Is it worth a punt? Absolutely.

What's the worst that can happen? We still don't win any games and still keep going 40 minutes after 40 minutes without scoring a point?

We have done away with mad Monday at the seasons end in favour of a Darby and Jones trip to Morecambe to avoid over stimulation of the squad.

Nothing to lose, i'd try him as captain for a few games.
Welcome Luke.

Let’s see if Luke Gale can succeed where Wally Lewis couldn’t 40 years ago, preventing Trinity from being relegated…..

From the day WJL left the club (no wins) … to the end of the following season in the lower league (where we finished in the lower half of the league)… was probably the worst performing team I have seen in the trinity kit…

We really struggled with injuries that year.
We used 48 players in total.

And we only win 7 all season. 5 of which was when Wally was here.
That next season was awful to watch.

To sign him for one season is embarrassing. To sign him for two?

Proves we need a DOR.

No better option right now.
Let's get behind him.

Sadly that's the predicament we find ourselves in. Gale, past it as he is and a massive gamble, is better than what we have. We can't be any worse than what we've served up so far so he has a very low bar to aim at. Still galls me we paid a transfer fee for him though. We do make some financially bad decisions for a club with limited spend, especially as he was off contract in the winter. Everything we do is a reactive.

I can’t think of a better option at this time . He’s got a rugby brain no doubt about that- let’s face it we been a bit short of that this season!
Nothing at all to lose I’ll support him and hope it pays off.
