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.

Corey Norman has gone to Lezignan I think.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Norman in a Trin shirt but he is staying in France.

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.

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.

Problem we have when it comes to the halves, we have both Lino and Gaskell on 100k+, which for me isn`t a great use of a limited budget, we look to have deliberately gone for a cheaper option in Smith to provide competition and cover in the halves but for what it`s worth I think Smith will be a good signing and will take number 6 for next year, I wouldn`t be expecting any further additions to the spine.

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.

Can't be bothered but does he actually state those figure, I've never heard a player, coach, director or agent ever give a current players salary?

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.
