I don't see why Gaskell can't play centre. Other than being a good kicker, his game play would easily transfer to being a top centre. IMO Wheeler at 6, Gaskell at 4 would be a good option.
I've no doubt wheeler is a good stand off and no doubt Gaskell could make a decent centre but having wheeler and lomax in the halves for me won't work as I don't think lance with either wheeler or lomax won't work.
Lance, wheeler and lomax are runners, they like to take the line on but Gaskell is a ball player as well which means IMO Gaskell has to stay stand off.
I think Friday night showed that lomax may not be a scrumhalf, he didn't have a bad game but he runs far to often for me when it needs to move wide, he's stepping back on the inside instead of moving it wide.
If you saw finch and lulu move it wide against leeds you could see they ate natural halves with good quick hands.
I'm not bagging lomax as I think he's a massive talent but I'm not sure just what his best postion is.
