So u think he'll be offered two year deal or the club will offer him 2 years

I think if he playing week in week out then the club will offer him two years but I think after the way gaskell was treated last season he probably look at is options

Let him go. Not going to be good enough. Wheeler is the far better prospect, unfortunately he has limbs made of shortbread.

Same could be said for gaskell and lance if gaskell was that good he would been playing 6 instead of lance

Take it u dont no what ud do with gaskell

He's already contracted past the end of the year as is Makinson so I didn't bother pointlessly including them in a discussion that they aren't a part of. FWIW I have substantial doubts over Gaskell still (that some more gametime from a non-numpty coach last season might have gone some way to proving one way or another but never mind) and think Wheeler is a vastly better bet to be our longer term #6 if he gets his act together. But in the horribly talent-diminished future that SL is facing it's hard to see too many better halves than Gaskell potentially could be becoming available any time soon so we need to keep hold of him. So there.

Gaskell already has too many deficiencies to be top class. I have been watching Saints for over 30 years and maybe my standards are a little higher than many on here. I just don't see in him what others seem to see.

Thankfully yours is a minority view among both your fellow Saints fans and the rest of us. I've seen him play a fair bit. Gaskell is a quality player with a great kicking game and he made a really good partnership with Lomax when a regular in your team. The lad has a lot to offer and hopefully he'll get back on track and into the starting line-up with Nathan Brown in charge there now that Rush has gone. I'm sure at least one or two of the top sides would sign him in an instant if he became available.

So get you're coach to put an offer in then if he's that good.

Lets not get excited, he is a good player, but an international class half he isn't. Im not saying he never will be, but he's miles off it at the moment

I'd bloody love it if we could sign him! But not very likely right now.
