I really cant see Gaskill being on such an high wage. However if he is, then as a club we have been extremely stupid in allowing that to happen. We all know the bloke who made the bad signings, i am hoping he is now blowing Beaumonts money in the same stupid and reckless way he did with us.

I think we could do a lot worse than Norman. He could be a typical Trinity signing. Get him after he has served his ban and save a huge chunk of his annual wage. I am sure he will not be on big bucks at Lezignan either.

Oh well it must be right then, I mean when has an agent....

What do you mean confirmed, I wouldn't have thought an agent could or would give specifics of a players wage! Let's have a link please, then we can report this to the RFL.

Don't know how much he's on if I'm honest, but I'll show my arris on 't Town hall steps if he's on much above half of that

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word confirmed because as he states, it's an gamble/estimate but listen to the SMTM Podcast titled "James Ford leaves York | Morgan Smith to Wakefield | Jake Wardle swap deal | Inside The Deal Ep 5", from around 17:30 onwards.

I know you'll be eager to respond with a "I know better" comment but let's be honest Craig Harrison knows a little more about playing contracts than the likes of me and you.

Then why ask for the link. Now Vastman has been proved wrong, lets discuss.

£100k+ too much for Gasky?

Over the two years he signed for? If that’s the case it’s about right.

Gaskell overall made solid contributions in 2022. What we learned though was he isn’t a regular halfback option but more effective as a centre where he played very well.

If it’s 100k a season it’s a bit steep but I’ve never seen him give less than 100% in a game for trinity and so long as that continues he earns his money. Not that it should be public knowledge or even be discussed.

Gaskell could offer us solid options for centre and fill in cover in emergencies at FB and HB. He adds value imo. If you had asked me mid 2022 when he largely played HB I’d have been less positive but Gaskell showed up well and did a good job in that centre spot so I had a bit of a turnaround on my opinion of him.

Where have you proved me wrong, give me the link and stop being an idiot.

I can’t be bothered to find it I can be bothered to listen to it. Because quite frankly I think the agent has broken the law as this is confidential info. I don’t doubt for a second he knows the figure what I doubt is he’d be stupid enough to give specifics.

I can’t imagine MC dealing with someone who did that could you. How damaging do you think that info if true could damage the teams structure. Nobody would put up with that.

So again, link please, because I will go out of my way to find out if this sort of thing is ethical/allowed.

So what is Tim saying, we paid 100k over two years for Gaskell? That’s not how he first painted it as that’s 50k a year which is more like it.

So is it Gaskell 100k over two years? If so your post is a touch misleading. I wouldn’t consider 50k OTT.

Watched the same podcast last night, Harrison alludes to both been 100k plus on the cap, was just a passing comment in relation to Morgan Smith tbf but suggest 100k plus a year.

Aludes to?

Is that each.

Can I have a link if you have one? This I feel is a breach of confidentiality and I intend to inform the relevant people. I’m absolutely certain the club won’t be happy at all.

Well the blokes just guessing isn't he, he isn't Linos agent, I'm not sure if he's gaskells? Although he does represent most SL players, you would assume doing the job he does he has a good idea of what a lot of players earn, if I was him though I'd stay away from speculating on players salaries all together but it was basically in context of saying we have 2 high earners there so they have gone for a cheaper option in Smith (he obviously knows what Smith earns as he is his agent) Not sure how to link from mobile mate as I use the app.

Interestingly he started talking about us taking the cheap option with Applegarth as well, saying we would be paying 70/80k rather than paying 150 for an aussie.
