But what made me laugh was he said gaskell defended bad on the left hand side when I thought gaskell played was one of the better player that game and he played on the right side which anyone who watches the game back we see gaskell got dropped because him and rush dont get on and the only reason he getting 10 minutes here and there is because his agent kick up a fuss
Gaskell did indeed defend on the right, alongside Shenton and Makinson. After a scratchy start when he first played at first team level last season he became very good in defence.
I agree that there is no justifiable reason for him to have been dropped and the naff comment Rush recently made about Gaskell 'learning his trade' in the u20s still gets me annoyed. As if a player who has competed in a Grand Final having helped the team get to it in the first place can learn anything from playing in the u20s! To suggest that is an insult to Gaskell and to the fans he thinks he is fooling.
