The Sneyd/Gale thing has really taken me by surprise, gutted to see Sneyd go, FC legend but I do agree our attack has been stifled and to easy to read for the last two seasons and Snyed just isn't a running player who is going to make breaks, his game is all about the kicking. I've never been a fan of Gale but lets see how he goes, hopefully both the halves can stay injury free and build a partnership. We definitely needed change and a clear out, so no complaints from me on the recruitment.

So long Sneyd, gave us the two best days in recent memory at Wembley, forever a legend, The signing of Gale makes me think of Sean Long and Leon Pryce, both passed their best and neither really delivered, but willing to support him 100% and he will provide bucket loads of experience for the young lads Hookem and McNamara. I think this is a positive, and at least he isn't coming with dreadlocks.

I bet Shaul, Mint and Tag are having some interesting chats on what's app

To be honest it is a very good post with plenty of truth in it

The injury point can be attributed to any player a team signs. For example we signed Josh Jones in his prime and he played a few games then went to Hudds and played all season practically. So that element of risk is always there, one thing that cant be injured is a persons Rugby Brain.

The financial side is absolute garbage.

I'd give the captaincy to Gale.

I wouldn't be against that. I don't think the three captains idea really worked. Houghton and Taylor won't be doing eighty minutes so Gale is a neat fit for the role. Plus he has experience of captaincy.

No chance of being skipper after being stood down at Leeds

What happened at Leeds is in the past, I don't see why that would be a factor in what Hodgson decides.

Needs to earn the respect of the camp, it won’t be him.

No arguments from me either in regards of captaincy .

Pleased with his signing , Adds more to the team than just a kicking game .

We should get more out of Ma'u playing outside of Gale too. I can't count the amount of times Sneyd gave him a hospital pass
