there's a bit of that, but Gaskell and Foster definitely were low on confidence when they were wisely dropped, getting bagged for weeks on end can lead to ruining promising careers.

People need to reconise that playing #6 at 20 years of age with the pressure of being our fieid kicker is a tough job. It's even tougher when your halfback partner is only a young lad as well.

I think rush did the correct thing in giving Gaskell and foster a spell in the u20s and I still think both have big futures on the game, especially lee Gaskell.

Thanks but I disagree.

There is a massive difference between lack of confidence and lack of application. Over-confidence and laziness can cause a lack of application, for example.

They may have been low on confidence, yes, or they may have simply been over-anxious. Not always the same thing. Either way I said before Royce was sacked that they needed time away from the limelight to get their heads back together again and so I agree totally that it was right for them to be dropped for a spell.

I think it's a clever comment from Brown as he's not going to speculate where he'll play him is he? Brown will wait until he gets here and has a proper look before nailing down a position for Lance - FB IMO, but Wellens is playing really well.

Is nobody else slightly uncomfortable about another teams coach commentating on our players 'positions' or whatever? He's not our coach yet. His focus should be on his own team. If I was Rush I would feel a little undermined by that comment. I'm probably just being over sensitive

Did anybody else notice it when he said that he'd seen a player play before (Swift I think it was)?

Strange as he would have to have gone to an U20s game to see him.....

i think it mainly happened just because he was directly asked about hohaia playing at 6 by the presenter.

You're right mate...i am just being over sensitive to it, just wished he'd have just left it as 'he's a great player'. I wonder if Huddersfield fans were bothered.
