All the squad have done altitude training in Liverpool. Someone put 2+2 together and got 5 with that rumour.

They say with some juggling they can get carvell under the cap. But how much more juggling to get gale as well? Feels unlikely to me.

Thought wakefield were in for Sammut and Gale

I'm expecting at least 4 hull players to go at some point soon . Always ways round the cap like back loading contracts and such

Would of thought with Miller and the other Aussie half back they have signed,forget his name,also Richard Horne,half back is not a position they would be looking to strengthen

Miller seems out of favour and was a Gentle signing alledgedly on big money, Rankin looks ok, Horne will go well but injury prone, Gale would be a welcome addition.

Was there any notable absentees last night at the season launch dinner? What was the general mood?

Would have to pay off Miller who probably earns quite a bit more than Gale at Bradford (thanks to McRae/Gentle).

I think if that happened Miller would not count on the cap as long as he hasn't played this season.

How much stomach Pearson has for continally losing cash paying off duff signings and whether Gale would want to come to Hull remains to be seen.

Gale I would not be bothered if he left. He's flattered to deceive for two years. Sammut as Gaskell half partnership excites me! However on the "on report" video on te SL website, one of te guys on it was saying when he spoke to Franny, the one player he did not want to lose was Luke Gale. Ad on SSN, he made it clear to the reported Gale was his first choice half back and it was up to Sammut and Gaskell to get the other.

The Sammut to Wakey has been doing the rounds but I would be surprised if he chose to go there.
