How would you say he has been for you since signing?
Hasn't he committed to next season with you?

Many of us were a bit disappointed with the way he ended at Saints, and its only ever been explained by rumours and posts by "in the know" fans.

He's signed for the next two years with Bradford.

Gaskell stikes me as a real "confidence" player. When he feels good he can be great but when he's down he's non existent.

Got swapped with Kearney earlier in the season as his communication wasn't good enough in attack or defence so ended up at fullback. Seems to have improved since Lowes came in. Think Cummins lost confidence in him and it affected his game even more. Strikes me as a bit fragile mentally (in RL terms).

He's with us for the next 2 years and should have a better season next year against championship sides (I hope).

Shame they didn't show it when they needed to

As is always the case it will depend on the pack you put together to give him a platform. If you get a roll on I think Gaskell will kill Championship teams. I'm glad a former Saint is settling in and starting to do well but I'm not sad to see the back of him, he didnt show enough to be part of a team chasing honours

That might have been down to the coach.

As Bullseye said he is a real confidence player. Cummins put him at full back earlier this year which was a howler. He's never a full back and it completely shot his confidence.

However under Lowes he has shown moments of brilliance in attack and defence. He produced a crucial miracle try saver on Charnley against Wigan. If he can get rid if his up and down confidence issue (which under Lowes and him playing in the championship I think he will do) then I think he would be a good enough stand off for a top 4 side. He just needs a coach to say to him the stand off position is his. Not been changed from stand off to full back to centre like he has last few years.
