I did assume he might go to HKR, but the thing that would hold it back would surely be TS. Smith has worked a lot with Myler, and dropped him for the CC final against us because of his poor defense. I think he was also still in charge at wire when he let him move on to Catalans?

KR have just lost Atkin, Drinkwater and McGuire too.

Yeah TS is shrewd and he knows what players can and can't do.



The question is whether Myler can do what HKR need him to do for them - which in all fairness might be more a developmental role. Depends how they feel he would combine with their other half options too.

Atkins would have been a good partner for abdull but sheens who is years past his best didnt play him and got an offer from salford and took it.I know for a fact atkins would have stayed with rovers if smith had been in charge and we wouldnt be sfruggling like yourselves for a decent half,myler isnt our answer,just not good enough if we have any ambition.

But as Jim says, whilst Myler may not be your long term answer at HKR will he do enough of a job next year to allow you to build? Ambition (and a decent halfback) costs, so a couple of years with someone steady and cheap(ish) will allow you to strengthen elsewhere. (Please take him.)

you can keep him thanks

I liked Gale when he was at his best when Cas were at their best .If we sign him that is the player I want ,I'm a bit uncertain about a 31yearold who has missed a full season . I think Sinfield may have one or two surprises in store for us in the ne t few weeks regards recruitment

Why do people keep going on about the future and youngsters? And yet contradict that by wanting immediate signings who would stunt the youngsters?



We have one of the best young halfbacks around in McLelland, we need him pushing on. Gale is the perfect sort of signing to do that. Two years with him, and we have that development. Remember these have trained together before and the Cas management liked what they saw.



You can’t go out there and get a 25 year old, as that would be long term, unless you are writing off McLelland. Myler is not the type of player to help develop someone, so that won’t work.

Correct. Gale makes perfect sense to me. Hes a terrific player.

If McLelland is as good as you say(ive only seen him against Bradford he was miles off SL that day) then yes Gale signing is perfect.McLelland will still have to impress to get infront of Lui who I feel will be better next year.If Myler does leave then Lui has to stay,we cant go into next season with only two half backs with one being a rookie.

If our halfbacks next year are Gale, Lui and McCllelland, then il be very happy.

Me too
