Galea's a good player and has always seemed very professional, but he has a poor injury record.

For next season we already have Ellis, Westerman, Whiting, Pitts, for the back row, possibly Tickle, as well as Kent and Green who are the youngsters that can play there. We have also been rumoured to have signed either Whitehead or Bateman.

All in all, why would we be wanting to sign Galea? We already have 4 good backrowers. We already have 2 good youngsters wanting to impress. He has a poor injury record.

It just sounds like the Mail are guessing. Personally, I think that clubs such as Cas, Wakefield, and Widnes, would be the more likely destinations for him.

My guess is with Bradford surviving, Bateman has decided to stay and we've come up short. Hence Galea...

Only really this season. He played 109 times in the previous 4 seasons which isn't far off ever-present.

All I can imagine is that you've missed out on a prop (Amor to Saints I've heard) and Watts and Pitts who look like modern prop-type loose forwards to me will be needed as out and out props, with Galea offering an option at 13.

Seems Galea done deal 12 months!!

A rumour that hasn't been mentioned from a good while and not one that I actually believe, but a friend doesn't think the Chase deal will happen and still reckons we'll be signing Danny Brough. I don't believe it one bit, but thought I'd share it regardless. Same person who told me this morning that we've signed Galea on a one year deal.

Loved how PG was avoiding the questions regarding Galea. Sounded like we have him to me.
