It's really this simple! As a rugby player Gaskell is better than Ridyard end of story! Gaskell wouldn't get in our team ahead of Ridyard as he has a unbelievable partnership with breireley who is better than Gaskell and plays the Same role! Enough of this tit for tat Gaskell is a incredible player and wouldn't mind him at Leigh but he wouldn't be a starting halfback for us!

Maybe this could be the last (and definitive) words on the subject !!

Finally some sense

How many Grand Finals has Ridyard appeared in?

1.

Some very ordinary players have appeared in Grand Finals and Cup Finals ,yet some great have never had any honours , John Woods being one ,having graced the Leigh,Warrington,and Bradford teams never playing at Wembley yet some have been to Wembley many times.

I would have Gaskell in my team ahead of Brierley all the time. Brierley is a pretty decent player playing in a very good team where as Gaskell is an excellent player playing in a pretty average team.

Brierley a decent player have a word with yourself ,look at his speed , ball handling skills try scoring, he can kick goals ,given the choice between the 2 I would have Brierley in the Fax team anytime, unfortunately it won't happen.

An interesting debate here ,no doubt Gaskell is a very good player but add injury prone to his other undoubted talents , for me Ryan B will put on a show to convince you of his on Sunday.

He's not injury prone, he had his jaw broken by being smashed in the face off the ball with an elbow.

I agree an injury like this cannot be helped , but he did have a lot of minor injuries when he was at Saints.Again I'm not doubting his playing talents though.

Charlie knows.......

...bugger all

Greg maybe he is a big fish in a small pond? I rate Gaskell but saints wouldn't of let him go if he was so good!! I still wouldn't mind him at Leigh mind!! Haha

Thats probably why Saints let Matty Smith go? I can see your logic
