NB quoted in the Off season regarding giving Gaskell an extended run at 6 (Hohaia was given a full season).
22/1/13 Makinson signs new 3 year deal.

Two games in and both having had choppy games against Hull are dropped.

If true seems that these two are being made scapegoats.

A lot of more experienced players have stunk the place out this season and they automatically get a shirt.

A bit harsh on the pair IMO.

Well, we know from experience that all it takes is one choppy game and a young player is torpedoed from the side, likely not to be seen again.

But no matter how many tries he concedes, no matter how shiny white his shirt is at the end of every game, Meli is always chosen on the wing. TP may stand around every game and let others do the hard work he should be doing but he will be chosen every game.

If Brown drops Gaskell and Makinson for the Bradford game then that's a mark against him in my book.

Yep and will give the strength to the rumours that KC and Rush still run the show.

Not just the old guard , Wunderkind Lomax fails to deliver and is found a new position.
Doesn't stack up really.

There are some gaps in the current squad and structural weaknesses but little seems to have changed
over the past season or so.
There appears to be something quite unhealthy behind the scenes at Saints.

But it should be and if it isnt then that's another mark against Brown because Brown should be insisting on his own choices since he is head coach.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Or maybe Brown has realised sooner than later that Gaskell and Makinson don,t have enough ability at the moment to give the team the right options.
We obviously have a big problem bringing through a young player through there final stages of development into Superleague, Anderson made a good go at it but Potter, Simmons, Rush/Cunningham have never really brought a couple of players through to Superleague standard.
Its strange that Makinson has a new 3 year contract, this must be based on projected future ability rather his current playing standard. With Gaskell, I suspect Lee is in a bit of no mans land as I get the feeling Brown would prefer a fit Wheeler over a work in progress Gaskell one.
