He won a game for us. Something Hohaia has yet to even get close to.

So should we bring Foster back in? His kicking did win us some games...

Fine by me. I like winners in my team.

So do I. I can't be bothered with a petty argument though so I wont carry on with that. At this moment I don't think either is outplaying the other but I think Hohaia's experience will get him the nod ahead of Gaskell.

Gaskell has only played two full matches since Royce left so it would have been hard for him to 'outplay' anyone. But I do agree, Hohaia will 'get the nod' ahead of Gaskell but that's because under the current regime the senior players always do get the nod ahead of the young blokes.

I like Gaskell, however I think Lance and Lomax where starting to get something going prior to Lomax getting injured. it's going to be difficult for Gaskell to break into that team unless he pulls out some very good performances. Just matching Lances efforts will not be enough to get noticed and replace someone.

It's a good question, for me Gaskell has proven to be a very good halfback (last season especially) and I think most people agree he has quite a bit of unrealised potential in him . Lance for me is robbing a living at standoff , he is not and never will be a halfback, his distribution (as Pete has noted on several occasions) and for me speed of though is just too slow. He hinders are play rather than helps and given his age we either need to play him in position (fullback) or use him as utility/backup

Sometimes you need to play your way into form , giving Gaskell a run with Lomax might just help him do that

Hi all.
Ive been out the country for about 2 months so im out the loop, and couldnt watch RL in USA

Whats the news on Wheeler, is he injured again?
also how has shenton been performing after the anouncement he was leaving?
has Perry shown his worth yet?

Weren't you the one telling all and sundry that Saints had signed two World Cup winners?

No idea. He hasn't been seen or heard of in ages. The club don't do communication these days.


Mixed bag. Sometimes very well, sometimes average.


Some people think so. I don't. He's made a couple of good runs and a couple of good hits but invariably he drops the ball or gives away a penalty, and he doesn't keep up the good runs and good hits. Waste of money for me.

injured, but then couldn't regain his place - Jones has been impressing in the centre.
Very well, to be honest. He's been chiming in with one or two great centre plays a game.
Perry's been excellent since the regeime changed, except for the Wigan game, but that also goes for Shenton and more than a few others. He sucks the tacklers in going forward, but his real strength is his physicality in defence, controlling the opposition forwards in contact and at the PTB.

Was she wrong? Go away you miserable old fossil

Yes she was.

I can't ban you but I can report you, f off and stop attempting to derail threads.

Back on topic hopefully Gaskell will make the 17 , I'm sure he's learning too much in the reserves and I think he could help us unlock what will be a solid Cats defence
