Galea will be a good signing for a year, runs great lines and has a very good pair of hands.
This years injuries are a concern, but before this season he had a very good record.
At the right price, it could be a very good deal.

My concerns also, I agree he can be good and has always caused us problems, I hope he has been brought in to mentor the young ones which I think would be good.

I'd like to know why aren't Rovers interested in keeping him? Was he asking for too much?

They offered him half his current wage, according to some Rovers people.

Half our 1st team squad have had injuries as well but will still be here next season...are they a risk as well?

Having spoken to Galea today and the Broncos game, he's said he's signed. It wasnt a joking, winding up answer either, he seemed genuinely gutted to be leaving Hull KR. FWIW, I think for a year he could be a decent addition. With him and Ellis in the squad, it shows the young players the professionalism and attitude to be aimed for.

Was chatting AP after the game, he says the rangi deal is "getting complicated" but we have holdworth done and A N Other as back up in case it falls through

Also managed to grab rangi before he left, asked if we would see more of him next year and he whispered "i hope"

How many of those are 34 year old ?

Does age matter though...some are a lot younger but still picked up bad injuries.

Was he also telling people he was going to be on £100k pa?

Because that seems to be a lot to pay for a 34 yr old player who would seemingly rather be somewhere else.
