Look at Brett Hodgson only being on a 2 year contract. If the club had given him a 4 year contract then he'd still have been there and helped us kick on even further than he had done, instead he went to Warrimgton and helped the a great deal. It's a risk in pro sport. If the player is injured all the time then it's a bad deal for the club, if they stay fit and play well it's good business. It's a risk you take and one I'm all for.

Lots of if buts and maybes! Best case scenario we manage to take a talented player and lock them down with us. Providing a safe future for the player and team built around the same key players

Worst case we spend loads and get stuck with a player who isn't motivated as he doesn't need to go out and earn it as he is safe for four years!

Or is it a case they ain't worth what they are written on?

There's players who you give 4 year contracts to and there's players you don't Gaskell is one you don't

Obviously he is one you do !!!

time will tell

Ok I'll rephrase that if your an idiot you give him a 4 year deal

bit like hull kr with campese and lunt, where has that got you

Maybe he is speaking from that experience.

I am amazed that Gaskell got a 4 year deal out of Huddersfield. Especially when you consider just how much of his career has been spent on the injured list.

Wonder if Theresa May could get Gaskell's agent to negotiate Brexit on behalf of the UK?

or your HMRC payment plan?

They already have one- they've planned not to pay.
