Given that brown has said wellens will get straight back in the team, I would assume Lomax goes to 6 and wheeler drops out, meaning Gaskell is a long way out of the reckoning. Gaskell certainly appears to be heading for the door. Makinson will be back, if only to cover for winger injuries.

Don,t think Gaskell and Makinson will be going anywhere, its just competion for places. Get the feeling that Brown will keep changing things until he gets the right combination in the backs, if players get dropped they must try harder at the next opportunity. If players don,t like it then maybe they don,t have the right temperement.

I'd have liked to see either Wheeler and Gaskell or Wilkin and Gaskell play against Bradford. The only way Gaskell will gain more confidence is by playing alongside someone that can organise the team.

Wheeler and Gaskell may have made a good partnership, we may never know though now. Wilkin might keep his place at scrum half or Wheeler'll probably get injured.

Never assume anything. It makes an ASS of U and ME.

Besides, Brown said Wellens would be playing, He never said where. I personally think he may keep Lomax at 1 and move Wellens to 13. Gives extra defense in the pack.

give them to haven on a season long loan deal we,ll look after them for you

Re: Gaskell and makinson : Tue Feb 26, 2013 1:37 pm  

Brown is just using the squad he has, there is no reason to read too much into this. If you are going to give Gardner and Wheeler a go someone had to drop out.

At the fans forum last night Wello said he's play anywhere (he did draw the line at prop though) and that he believed that Lomax's best position was fullback. It was also hinted that the coaching staff agreed although Lolesi didnt actually say that.
