Quote: SomersetSaint "I disagree with this. Pryce and Wheeler may be better individual players than Gaskell, however the team has benefitted from having the combination of Lomax and Gaskell, who complement each other extremely well. In particular, Gaskell has brough a kicking game to the team, that neither Pryce nor Wheeler possess. I believe that this is a case of the sum of the parts being greater than the whole, and that the Lomaskell combination is far better than a Lomeeler or Lomyce combo.'"


I prefer the terms "Wheemax" and "Prymax" myself icon_wink.gif

Anyway, I agree that Gaskell's kicking is becoming an ever more important part of the team that we kind of need to incorporate somewhere if at all possible, but not at the cost of the "X Factor" that "Pryler" bring to an otherwise fairly prosaic set of backs for me. I'd rather have the ability to break a tough defence a la Wigan's with a bit of individual magic than be able to kick us into their 40 regularly but with no means to get through. Opinions and all that.

Quote: McClennan "The size point is very relevant because you can see already that although he doesn't have the pace of Lomax to go through a gap he has more than enough power to force the defender into making a strong tackle. You can see already how it's beginning to play its part because he has the passing threat too. Having the ability to both take on the line and pass to a good degree (his is better now than most other British half backs were who came through at similar ages e.g. Long) puts the defence on the back foot because they're not sure what he's going to do.

As Gaskell gets bigger and faster he's going to be a handful. You can have a big stand off if they can shift and pass. I'm certainly not comparing his skill level with these players but Lewis, Daley, Adolf and Barrett all had success in the NRL because they were also big men. Their size meant they posed more than just a play making threat.'"


Do you really believe he will get faster? Whilst he may add size or possibly an extra quarter yard of pace, he isn't going to become Linford Christie over the off season. The speed he has now is pretty much as quick as he's going to get!

Quote: Saddened! "Hhahahahahahahahahahah. I love that about him. We call him 'The Ghost'. My 5 year old started watching Saints this season and saw him and hid behind me. I asked what was up and he said, 'He's like a ghost'. Certainly ghosts through defenses.'"


I think that was you hiding behind your 5 year old really! icon_lol.gif

Saints fans need to step up to the mark. This is what's said about our half back partnership by other fans, Wigan at that! Don't know why it's so difficult for saints fans to see, after the quality play Gaskell has put in. The personal comments are disrespectful and pathetic. I think most people on here don't get rugby, with the crass comments. Could go on and on listing his qualities and attributes but would sooner watch them unfold over his long and fruitful career as a profesional rugby player.

It would be fantastic if Wheeler stays fit and is in the squad more, but come on, lets show some respect, whilst it's ok debating and discussing players, some of the stuff on here needs reining in. Gaskell and Wheeler are mates on and off the field, and I'm sure wish each other well, they certainly wouldn't be coming on here!

Unfortunately, what we have in the team, doesn't seem to transfer to some supporters. If you still can't work it out, it's loyalty and respect. Another rant, but hey, came on here after 'a certain other site' was full of **** and it's disappointing to say the least when reading some posters crap. Here's the link:

Are you really so deluded to think the players actually come on these sites! I wish I was Lee Gaskell with the future he has ahead. Anyway, I'm off now, got a big game tomorrow. icon_wink.gif

Come on Saints!!

You just didn't market it very well allowing the inferior brand Lomaskell to take over.
Dragon's Den would have tore you to bits!

I fail to see the point of debate Pryce is gone forever so picking him as an option is as pointless as picking Lockyer.

Wheeler had no chance of breaking up this partnership given his time out.

As for personal comments come on and grow a pair. Biscut boy and voldermortes love child are said with affection. I'm sure the players all have names for each other. Maybe they use sicknote etc but it is not meant to insult. The wizard connection for gaskell is plain enough for most to see.

If you want to see vile comments just mention tomkins. Is not the knick name of rat boy that is disrespectful its the comments that go with it.

Im sure frodsham would have appreciated some comments like biscuit boy last year and this. Instead he was pretty much a forgotten man. Most Saints fans want Wheeler to do well which is why even he is injured he gets brought back in the conversation. But his injury list is as telling as his talent at the moment. One day he may not had injuries ever other match maybe his nickname will change. Until it does at least he gets talked about. Many youth players go un noticed until they get shipped out.

The thought of S.Tomkins at 1., Gaskell at 6 and Lomax at 7 is very refreshing internationally, this time in 2/3 years they wil all be hitting there peak, same for Roby. Gaskell was brilliant last week and tore us apart, very intelligent rugby player, Lomax has the full package, pace, passing, intelligence, Saints should be very proud they have developed these 2.
