Kay shouldn't be playing full back. That's a real Hail Mary decision and we are not there yet.
He needs to be on tge bench to spell Hood.
I'd go with rest of team though.

Yep, agree.
Think Sam would miss out, but his time will come this season.

Kay is a better option at fullback them Gaskill. That said every player in the whole squad is a better option at full back rather than Gaskill.

He played well at FB v Leeds last season (at Headingley).

If those in front of him do their job, he will be ok. Mind you, that's a very big if and let's face it, if they dont do their job, we could have Billy Slater at FB and it would make little difference.
(btw, I'm not saying that Gaskill is anything close to Slater)

Wonder if you shoot mash down tomorrow then

I am also in the Kaye camp as a better choice than Gaskell. In fact Gaskell would not get near my 17 as I would go with Smith and Lino in halves. Hood hooker and Crowther to give him a breather.

I'm sure you know of all people on here, I wouldn't shoot the Coach down for trying something.
I'm not a fan of Gaskill at full back but to me he's the only one with experience. If not you are moving multiple players out of position.
I'm happy for Smith to have a crack at 6 and Kay at hooker with Hood
If it has to be Kay then I'll cheer him on just the same.

We can’t put Gaskell back in at FB. However experienced he might be he does not have the legs for it. He looked patched up with his arm last week as well. It certainly won’t do his confidence any good to be yards away from the try scorers again.
Kay is a decent shout, he has a good head on him and did he used to be a Stand off years ago. Definitely worth a try, and whatever we do it is a gamble

I do know that yes, what i will say is if somone told you 2 years ago kaye wouldnt be a winger hed be a 9 you probably also say never infact most would say more a 1 than a 9.for me dont think hes either to be honest but like you ill support whoever plays where as long as they try

Re: Huddersfield next : Thu Mar 02, 2023 10:23 pm  

Guys Guys Guys.. I must apologise. I have been too harsh and critical on Gaskell. After watching tonight's game it is now obvious to me that he was only playing to Mash's instructions. He was making sure he never got near the scorer so to avoid an 8pt try.
