Won't they tell you Baron?

Touché

Gaskell could be a shrewd signing.One thing I recall when he first came on the scene at Sintellins was 'deep kicking game' at the very least.Take some pressure off Broughy? I think so.

I've always liked Gaskell. He was looking like a really promising player at saints, I think he was just unlucky that he came through at a time when they had other young half backs lomax and wheeler in the saints squad. He had a brilliant first year at Bradford winning player of the year for the championship- then unlucky with injury last season.
We needed him in 2013 when we were trying to sign him- now I'm just not sure where he fits unless at fullback.

From the rather limited opportunities (for a Leigh fan, or probably for a Bradford one too!)) to see him in the Championship, he looks a class act. He's had some bad luck with injuries the last couple of years. Hopefully, he's over that now. Where would that leave Ryan Brierley, by the way?

Have a feeling from the noises coming out that Brierley could get sacrificed for the salary cap.

Brierley to Leeds, Hardaker to you

That would be a shocking decision!

Maybe long odds but it just might be a success for both clubs. Though you're probably right.

That would be a catastrophically stupid move

gaskell would fit in at centre for us

keep him fit and injury free and can go very well and realise his potential again

I know we have had some blunders, but that would be a stupid decision.

People talk about salary cap issues. But we already know Grix and Connor have gone. I would also look to offload Crabtree,Wood,Ormsby,Wardle and Johnson.
If the Bradford three have signed and we then add a fullback (Hardaker?) an outside back (Mamo?) and a decent prop forward then I think we will have a really good squad and I would imagine the incoming salaries would be covered by the outgoing salaries.

Lee Gaskell didn't offer much of a kicking game at Bulls. Not much of a leader in half's either. Not the same player since Groat broke his jaw in July 15 missed half of our games since.
