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.

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.
