From his recent absence do you think it's a done deal with another club he is going?
Would we be better with 2 or 3 quality players in exchange instead of one world beater?
Seems like Warrington have a couple going, maybe a newlove style deal on the cards?

Do we need that much more quality to play in the Championship. Maybe we buy the quality in at the end of the regular season and just enhance what we have.

Would be a good idea to have a team together for a full season and gel?
I don't think shipping players in last minute works.
Unless it's Jonathan Thurston or Sam Burgess..

Yeah, perhaps we've left him out so he's 100% for his pre season with Wire.

Or maybe bruised kidneys are something we need to be careful that he's fully recovered from before he plays again. Depending on how things are progressing with his impending arrival his focus isn't going to be solely on RL right now either.

Almost cutting your nose of to spite your face? Why risk not going up even if he is leaving. If we were playing pre season friendlies and he was on his way i could understand not playing him

From his recent absence I suspect that it is more likely he is injured.

I'm sure Gaskell isn't playing because he isn't 100%.

Having said that,Jimmy does seem the type to throw the teddy out and drop somebody from the squad if he found out they were leaving. I'm hoping Gaskell stays true to his word as reported in the T&A and sees out the remainder of his contract.

He's got bruised kidneys and a baby due Saturday.

He's not going to Warrington.

I thought he looked like he was putting weight on. The last thing we need is his waters breaking in a tight finish.

Somethings not right he said during week was fit yeah his partner is due to have baby but that still doesn't stop you naming him in 19 can always change game day if needed

No they said he was hoping to be fit not that he was fit. His injury I was told was likened to a serve car crash injury.

Lowes' post match interview said they were training with him during the week expecting him to play but he didn't quite make it.

Whisper it quietly, but the potential is there - if Gaskell and Mullaney are passed fit for Saturday - that we might actually be able to name our strongest possible 17 for what I think could be the first time this season?

When you stop and think about the constant disruption and injuries we have had to our 1, 6 and 7 this season it's quite an achievement that we are where we are right now.

Our first chioce 17, Mmmm, will they know each other?
