Gaskell, chiming into the line, quick, tall, safe under the high ball (?), can use his kicking game from there, nowhere else in the team to play him....
I think Gaskell has all the skills given time to be our Stand off for years and would be wasted at FB
Like Sam Tomkins? does pretty well from FB
Ashe is a full back, Makinson looks good there until wello came back (we didnt lose a game with him at FB) and possibly Lomax too. Gaskell is an interesting option and we've certainly got options there
I'm not putting Gaskell down but he's not Sam Tomkins.
I also feel Tomkins as effective as he is could do more long term from SO. Wigan's strength allows Tomkins to largely forget a FB defencive duties which makes him look very good going forward.
Gaskell also has a very good kicking game which Tomkins is rarely called to use.
