| Quote: NickyKiss "When's his deal up?
I'm a huge Gaskell fan and have said for a while I believe he's a better 'halfback' then Lomax. I can't see him being allowed to go to Wigan if he's under contract but I can't see how the lad can be satisfied with playing u20's at the moment.'"
Saying that would he get in Wigans first team? ATM no, depending on your HB situation next year maybe.

Because as woahful as we where against Wigan that same side can still match most of the rest of the league with just Roby and the pack, and Lance wandering around doing little.
I do not like it, but something in me wants an injury because that's about the only way Gaskell is ever going to see the light of day at LP this year. Maybe a bout of flu, just to leave the coaches with no option but to put personal slights to one side.'"
You hit the nail on the head. We will make the playoffs easily just banging it up the middle and ignoring the backs altogether given how weak most of the league is and how strong our forwards are, and then we only need to win 3 games in which anything could happen. Rush might very well see no point in changing anything and maybe we'd be in a lot worse position if he did try and move people around and alter the pattern of play - maybe he just isn't capable of playing any other way. I don't rate Gaskell as the answer just yet, but clearly the time has come now with a lot of easy games to trudge through and a completely malfunctioning backline to at least give him a runout and see what happens, but this is clearly not going to happen.

Sure - that's provided we can keep Roby (who's body must be close to breaking point the amount of reliance we are placing on it) on the field. With a fully fit squad we can make the top four. But take two or three keys players out of that side for any lengthy period and we could be in very serious trouble.

If that is the case then I am worried about him moving back to looking after the kids, if this is how he treats them.

Read this morning League Express. Confirmed about Finch and about Gaskell but nothing about Brough but it is a done deal. It is hard for you guys to believe a Wiganer.

I heard similar at the weekend, apparently he does have his favourites, and they're not based on ability
