Saints won't sell him they would prefer him to run down is contract

Well that's just stupid surely it's better to get money for him then let him go for nothing

Or just to get his wages in the pocket if they can't sell him. But if there are a few teams in the running for him, then selling would be ideal.

There isn't a club in the league that wouldn't want to snap him up when he becomes available - in the current talent-starved market a young back with size, a kicking game and a bit of pace is golddust. But there's no point keeping him around if we've decided he isn't the half we can build a team around (as I've always doubted) for the next decade and we ain't going to use him. It'll be a bit sad to see him go but hardly earth shattering. If we can offload Hohaia and Wheeler at the same time somehow and get 2 new halves in from somewhere then everybody would be happy.

If the club won't sell or release him maybe they are hoping to keep him

If ur in his shoes would u resign if ur not getting picked

Personally I think it would be a travesty if we let this lad go he's undoubtedly got talent and it would be another nail in the coffin of our academy system which hasn't produced much of late!

Don't no depends how much I was getting payed and how much I could get elsewhere

But if ur not playing ur not going get much are u

No but I go we're the best offers was playing or not I would do best for my family

Personally I like Gaskell but if he doesnt produce the goods on the field then he has to go. This is the reality of having a salary cap , you cant hoard players.

Do you or anybody else for that matter honestly believe he has been given a chance?

Three games behind a very under-performing Pack!

Sorry but I don't agree.

He is in his third season as a first team member. How many more seasons do you want to give him?

One full season would be good! He hasn't had one yet. At least not continuously. If you add together 2011 plus the scraps of 2012 and 2013 then the total may add up to a season but he has been messed around so much that I'm surprised he still has the confidence to walk on the pitch.

I'm not in the camp of perpetual Gaskell haters. Some posters have wanted him gone since before he played his first game. I do think there are factions within Saints supporters who maybe have connections to the team and so will always dislike a player, if they are a threat to their prefered choice, or if they have had some unfavourable run in with said player.

But Practically speaking, if the player can't get a run of games in 2 years, what is the point in keeping him? I'd love him to get a run of 6 games to show what he can do, but it ain't going to happen. 3 games last year, 3 this year and that's it.

Lance has produced less in his 20 games last year , but is prefered.

So let him go, I'd prefer another option but given the choice between keeping him but not playing him and letting him go, letting him go is prefered.
