Seems out of favour despite NB claiming gaskell was in his plans this year.

Just imagine..........

6 brough
7 Gaskell
9 Lunt
Interchange hooker robbo
13 faiumu


Please please please please please rugby gods

You can have him!

And apparantly Saints have signed a Huddersfield academy player on a 3 year deal ? Anybody heard who it is, if anyone ?

Goto say gaskel has appeared to be a great talent! Two years back when lomax and gaskel got a shot at 6 and seven partnership I thought they looked good from what I saw.. saying that only seen him play maybe 6 times at the most and the saints fans don't seem to be missing him?

Saw him play for Rochdale against Crusaders yesterday and scored a breakaway try but apart from that did not look particularly special though was playing at centre and probably did not want to be there but he seems to be this years Foster for Saints and he's done alright for himself since moving on.

A SL loan move might re-ignite his career but do we really need to upset the apple cart at present with things going well as do not feel Robbo has done much wrong so far to face being dropped let alone having someone moved in to replace him.

Not sure about that one...looked a great prospect a couple of years ago but doesn't seeemed to have kicked on much since but that could just be from what i've seen.

Maybe a loan spell to see what he can do and judge him on that but at the moment i dont think he will offer us anymore than what Robbo does at 7. then again most of us said the same about signing Danny Brough

maybe the giants are still interested ...maybe they are not... maybe nathan brown still has plans for him!

anyhow dont want to upset the apple cart right now with the way things are but dont think robinson is exactly setting the world alight in this position this season..doing 'ok'.

NB didn't think much of Shaun Lunt!

certainly was a big fan of moore!

You could say the same about Lunt when he was dropped to the reserves- he didn't shine then!
Looks like NB will probably play Gaskell now anyway with roby injured hohaia will probably go to 9 and Gaskell in the halves.



Who is currently playing first choice hooker for the cowboys in the NRL.......

Robbo is doing a lot of runaround work with Broughy behind the pack and putting some lovely passes out to the centres. He is doing great and will only get better. I am well satisfied with things as they are.

People dont see the little things some players do that make all the difference, like Robbo's runarounds and linking play

Like Grix joining the line and passing on to Wardle on Saturday for his break leading to his try. That was top drawer but almost unnoticed

Yes robbo is linking really well-and I've no doubt the pair will improve through the season, but I still think hooker plays to his strengths better. Quick pinpoint passing off the floor- and those darting runs of his out of acting half are a joy to see. However he took some real stick physically in the middle and will probably get a couple more years by playing in the halves.

Just think grix, brough, robbo, faiumu, Lunt AND Gaskell would offer some real attacking prowess and enable our kicking game to be a bit more unexpected rather than nearly always going to brough.

Am I just being greedy?

I think you're forgetting the phrase "too many chiefs"

If its managed properly then why not! We do need someone else with a kicking game
