Monstered us with Widnes, big bag of 5hite for Leeds.

You have a very short memory. Gaskell was good enough to play for Saints against you in the 2011 GF or weren't you watching? The half backs were good enough to boss the game for 60 minutes and Gaskell's kicking game was good enough to continually leave you pegged you back, until Burrow's brilliance won it for you.

Gaskell has had his problems at Saints mainly with the coaches since then. Nothing to do with his ability.

Of course he's "good enough" to play for you (IMO of course)!!!!

Bossed the game for 60 minutes.

Is your source still saying Gaskelll has signed for us and waiting for announcement or was it simply a false rumour?

had goodway down as lancastrian from playing most of his rugby there.

one lancastrian who played mainly for bradford rathbone

his time at leeds so brief it's not on his wiki page

Maurice bamford signed him to beef up our pack ,as the pack we had at that time was a bit timid. Ratbone was bit of a hard case both on and off the field.
I believe he may even have spent some time at her majesty's pleasure . He broke his jaw, possibly on his debut , so his playing days at Leeds did not amount to much.
