And here's the bit I remembered:

ST HELENS RFC has announced that Lee Gaskell has signed a new three-year contract with the Club.

Stop being an a r s e.

i wasn't, just showing the article. It is annoying when they announce a long term deal, but its only a small extension, clubs do it all the time for spin. like the news that sam tomkins signed a 5yr deal only 6 months after his last one.

It's like talking to an Ayatollah or worse, Stevo.

its way to early to be certain, but is anyone else thinking that there's a chance he wont make it?

No. He's got the potential to be an excellent half back. I think he was suffering (along with Lomax) with the burden of leading the team around as an inexperienced player paired with another one, and that this break out of the team will do him good. He needs to be introduced into these responsibilities slowly and with experience around him.

I think gaskell as shown enough to suggest he is a super league player and I think he will have good career in super league with saints or somewhere else

Re: Lee Gaskell : Tue Apr 03, 2012 9:14 pm  

I think it may be in the back row / Loose forward role though.

You have spoken to one then?

If he bulked up a bit, he could be a potential LF, definately.

I don't see anything wrong with sending him on loan to someone like Widnes. Can we not recall him? Or is dual reg only for sides outside of the Super League?

Personally, I can't see what being drubbed every week is going to do for a young half back. No disrespect to Widnes intended, but that's the situation for them at the moment
