Every article has said expected back for Widnes game unless you've heard otherwise?

Who knows. The Bulls deliberately put out misinformation all the time these days, so you can't believe pretty much anything you read, and we as a forum seemingly no longer have any real insider contacts, so it's all just a guess, he could be fit already and raring to go, or he could be crocked for the season, or anything in between, we don't know.

Well there's a week to go before any decision has to be made on him playing against Widnes. Hopefully he comes back fit and ready to go

No, just couldn't see anything concrete anywhere!!

Who knows. If he’s got bruised internal organs they won’t risk him unless he’s right.

I expect Lowes will be playing his cards close to his chest.

I'd only play him against Widnes if he's 100%. No point rushing him back and aggravating his injury again.

We proved against Salford that we don't need to rely on him in order to get the win, though a player of his quality will give us a much bigger chance of turning Widnes over.

Looks like season is over looks like lowes doesn't want to play him

Or we are resting him until the Leigh game?

I would have thought he'd be on the bench against Rovers to get some game time before next week. Don't like first game back for him is away at Leigh. It's all or nothing next week though.

Given that Lowesy admits we've, "lost confidence", bringing him back for next Saturday could be the tonic we need?

It's got to be the strongest 17 next week. No Walker, no Mendieka, probably one or two more. Win next week and Leigh are out

We live in hope!

Heard it on the terraces that he's going end season that's why lowes won't play him

If you did, still surely you aren't stupid enough to believe such utter bullcrap, though?

I mean, either he's still got bruised kidneys from breaking the post with his ribs, or Lowes is not only lying but also vindictively spiking his team's chances of going up, out of some petty fit of pique? And that Green is happy to tolerate this even though he would (obviously) know that the docs had passed Gaskell fully fit to play/

Which do you consider to be a realistic possibility?

Whether the rumours are true or not he just saying what he has heard

Seems funny that club say he's fit but don't play him he's one of the better players should be looking for every point to get back up to super league so why not play him 1) try get the 2 points 2) match fitness even if only play him of the bench
