We’ve Gale for his penultimate season , why wouldn’t you use him or do we leave one of our most expensive/experienced players as a water boy for the remainder of his contract .He’s probably forgot more that Lawford knows about the game and imo if fit he needs to start every game barring those early cup games . Seeing young Lawford doing well in the friendly’s is one thing but York will be a lot tougher test than people give them credit for , we are the ones that every other club will want our scalp . The season is long and arduous and no doubt the lad will get his chance in the spotlight as Gale is getting rather delicate in his old age , but it’s one we must win to gain our place back in super league. You wouldn’t dream of resting Jerry for a youngster if not fit so why take that tack with Gale , who’s been their and done it at the highest level . We’ll need his guile and skill sets to steer us around the field in what will be challenging times ahead . And not forgetting he’s got the biggest gob at the club , something thats been sadly lacking for far too long at wakey
