Lee Gaskell : Fri Jun 16, 2023 6:16 pm  

Interesting to see ourselves linked with signing Lee Gaskell. If fit, I would take him back in a heartbeat. Holmes at Fullback, Patton and Gaskell in the Halves and not to mention Walker can come back in at any time, again, if fit. That is not a bad spine at all. Also, when he was at Salford he played a lot at Centre and he has played fullback which does give us some versatility and cover in a few positions.

The issue is, Fev are linked as well and they have made it clear for a while they need a new half back. Ultimately, it comes down to money and I would imagine the manner in which Gaskell left us has left a sour taste in his mouth.

Time will tell I guess

You never know though in recent years he’s been more of a fullback than a half

I’d imagine Fev will have more cash to offer, so I’d be surprised if he ended up at the Bulls. I assume he is still fairly injury prone? Great player on his day though.

If you look at it in reality.I don’t see the point in Fev signing him. Max end of season contract. I see him back with you guys and enjoying it.

I seriously hope not... I haven't forgotten how him and Clough sat our half the season winding down their contracts which we struggled on the field.

Total naughty person and don't want him near a Bradford shirt again!!!

Yes, I remember that well. Him and a few others when we lost away at Fev in the last game with their backpacks on laughing and joking.

Am I right in thinking they weren’t being paid?

Could have a point there.

That is probably correct. The names were never published but the vast majority of the players and many of the staff took out proceedings . It dragged on but just before it was due to be heard in an open Tribunal, there was a confidential settlement.

Decent point that. 5 points clear of 7th now and still within sight of second.

Tough side are fax and losing Holmes forcing us to play with a Hooker at FB and 1 HB.
