From what you have seen of him this season do you think he would be a good signing for Wakefield ?

Given what I saw of our front row this season then he’d be a good signing on one leg!

Our week spot the front row. Probably not worked out for him at yours, it happens so a move to us might be what he needs.

He’s also a previous coaches signing so probably not on his keep list for quota players.

Could work out well for us both.

If you listen to the interview with Cogger you will see that he has very much signed on the basis of getting week in week out rugby, not a backup for Sezer/Gaskell, and he also talks about playing alongside Sezer a lot. Looks like we will be getting rid of Gaskell, or Gaskell will be the back up. For me, for all Gaskell has been good at times, he has been far too flakey, often disappearing for dubious reasons before matches, and i won't be sad to see him go.

Still not sure what our coaching staff expected from James in his time here.Baffled.

They've just given Gasky a new 1 year deal. I don't see him at his stage of his career wanting to be a back up player neither.

On attack we just need the other half back to get the ball to Sezer as quick as poss.

As it looks like we will have a much stronger pack it might be worth playing Gaskell at loose forward giving three playmakers in the starting 13.

Re: Retention + Recruitment : Thu Dec 10, 2020 3:53 pm  

Could happen,Gasky doesn't shirk his defence on the edge,would be interesting to see how he went defending down the middle of the field.

Re: Retention + Recruitment : Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:02 pm  

Gaskell at loose forward sounds horrendous.

We have an abundance of second rowers who can play loose, with a light front row, we'd get obliterated trying to play a half at loose. Gasky at full back or centre yes, but in the pack, not for me
