It is not a Applegarth experiment to think that Gaskell was good enough to be given the 6 shirt after been in the first team Coaching staff last year .More like a disaster

If Trinity get nilled at Leeds it will be the first time we’ve been nilled 3 times in a row since 1904

Got a lot of respect for your post but you say he is ok in the .So why are we playing him at 6 And i have not got a cat lol .

You’re right PT he hasn’t been that bad but that does not disguise the fact that he isn’t good enough for SO
He’s too slow and a much better centre.
It’s a sad indication of the talent we have when he’s the preferred no 6.

Neither us nor Leeds have picked up any bans this week (fines for players from both teams only) but looking ahead Salford are reporting only 21 fit players and SKD could pick up a 5 match ban after their match against Leigh... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/64862814

I don't disagree at all.
I thought we were going to replace Miller with a decent player and cringed when I realised we were going to go with Gaskill but we are where we are.
I at least thought Smith would develop into a Miller but because of injuries he hasn't had chance yet.

It’s a common theme with Salford. Though most of any injuries are actually their back up players. Just mind games with them.

So at least we are on the. same page .I cringed as well . Maybe I through that the way fans had raved about the new coach that I was going to see attacking rugby ,so maybe that is getting to me as well All been well will be at Leeds but if there is know improvement with ball in hand can not see me making many away games

Applegarth said he wanted to play attacking free flowing rugby but it had to be built on a solid defense.
I'm prepared to think the players are just getting used to the different style.

So we've played last seasons top sides so far, and will be there or there about’s this season, so apart from the blow out at Wigan we have been competitive and really upped the anti in defence against the mighty spending giants . Full back crocked , winger crocked which we certainly could have done without especially the fullback who is instrumental in our attacking prowess. Happy with how the wings went against the giants , defence was first class but the attack is woefully slow and predictable, and certainly not helped by the amount of unforced errors and penalties against us . We go again this Fri and looking forwards to building on a solid defensive platform , and hopefully some tries thrown into the mix , can’t wait , still gets me buzzing after all these years going to headingley and hoping to put one over on them .

Agree with all that KK.
There's nothing finer (for me) as a Wakey fan (although going to Cas runs it close) than going to Headingley and beating Dirty Leeds.

Fascinated that Gaskell is thought too slow by some at stand off, but quick enough at centre.
Most top class centres have plenty of pace, plus which there have been many halves not blessed with pace , but with plenty of guile.
Not saying Gaskell is the answer , but the logic is questionable.
