Re: Gaskell to Salford Howarth to Saints, swap deal : Thu Mar 28, 2013 2:49 pm
It's common sense for Gaskell to go given that he's been stopped from playing. No point throwing money away, just to spite a player.Lets not forget we offered him a contract, so I don't buy it that we think he is now below us only a few months later.
I also don't buy the drop in form. If you were to pick the form team in SL, you would need more than just 3 games.
I have no problem with Brown picking his own team and players, that's fine. I'm not getting into the youth arguement, his record at Huddersfield and here shows he will play them if they are what he wants.
Not sure why we have took Howarth, just seams like a nothing signing, he's not a replacement for anyone really. Although it does show how shocking our recruitment has been to not even have an understudy ready for Roby. Don't give me Lance, as Lance was not bought to be a hooker, he was bought and has played as a half.
Just goes to show that playing Roby for 80 mins has been more down to need rather than good planning.
