Think Leeds would look a completely different side without Gale. Shows what a top kicker can do for you.
At times when you see a half back like Gale and Sneyd control games with kicking out of hand behind a dominant pack it seems so simple and it emphasises that we haven’t had a combination like that for years. They can at times though certainly Sneyd be a bit clueless in attack closer to the line and you need someone with more creativity and pace like Hastings or Williams.
I bet at times Leeds fans have wished they had someone like Hastings or Williams over Gale as certain games and situations lend themselves to one or the others strong point and Saturday certainly played into Gales. You ideally want a half that can do both (not sure there has been one in the Superleague for a while?) or 2 halves that compliment each other. I think both Hastings and Williams previously would have benefited massively from having someone like this, Williams was imo at his best for us when he played alongside Smith who’s long kicking game isn’t a patch on the 2 previously mentioned but is a lot better than Tommy’s.
