Your right I haven't seen Lee Gaskells academy games I have seen him in the saints first team where he played mostly at half back and a few at centre, as I said he's a good player and had a pretty good kicking game from what I saw, that said depending on how he plays he will probably sign on with Salford or go to another so team but I doubt that would be us.

i dont get bored at all its a subject i feel strongly about, if you want to know what bores me its the same lot who come on here and try and belittle folk if they dont agree with their opinion .tell you what another thing i feel strongly about its these same folk with most of their post are pretty limited in my opinion on their rugby knowledge

I'd normally come to the defence of someone being rounded on by others for just stating an opinion but you've raised a subject you have already raised elsewhere and derailed a perfectly good post on a different subject.
You leave yourself open when you do that.

On the Gaskill subject, I'd take him for stand off. I wouldn't replace Mathers with him.

On Howarth, I always thought he was good. I think he is just a bit light weight but certainly has skills, a good brain and works hard. Hope Sts keep him.

He looked solid today for Saints, did the basics well and generally got a quick accurate pass out from acting half back. He'll look to express himself more as he gets more comfortable with his surroundings.

Did well today in his debut, after just one training session with Saints.

Sneyd has been playing at fullback for us and playing exceptionally well. Our best player this season by a long way. Ill be very suprised if he's not offered a very good contract when the new coach is appointed.
