Must say I like gaskill so think it’s a good signing

However …….
I’d be gutted if he’s being signed to replace max though at fb

Don’t see him at LF

We’ve already got Rocky to cover half’s so essentially it feels like he’s either replacing Max or Rocky

Who are both players that deserve a starting spot

So while I like gaskill I do feel he’s a bit square peg in round hole for us

If he has signed then if he spends more time on the pitch than off it he will be a good signing.

He will be an injury prone 31 year old when he starts playing with us.

One of those players you hate playing against but suddenly becomes when you sign him.

If you saw those players as you probably did, and I did, you’d know that MJ has attacking flair we haven’t seen since the days of Cooper .
To say he’s nowhere near Box, Spencer or Holland is an insult to him, and actually inaccurate-he will be better than all three of those.
as somebody else has said MJ’s best years are to come and he’s obviously trinity through and through otherwise, after the way he’s been treated by officials at trinity and supporters like you he’d have left ages ago.

That mistake is still way behind the one made by Grix ,That mistake is what he is remembered for at Wakefield

Got to agree, Grix had time to have a cup of tea and a fag before he should have dealt with the kick through.
Max's was just very frustrating. Even the 'great' Lachlan Coote fluffed a kick thorough on Thursday but Fages saved him.

What does ‘treated like trinity supporters like you mean’?
I have never insulted the lad or made derogatory statements about him,
I would actually like him to succeed.
Am I not allowed an opinion.?
People talk as if Jowitt is a young lad . He is well into his twenties.I have doubts about his tackling ability and the ability to regularly beat a man when returning the ball.
I agree he has a good passing game , and takes the high ball well.
I do not berate him for an odd mistake , that happens.

and some of you said i was talking BS!!

Seems its a popular decision with the Hudds fans as they dont seem too bothered hes leaving, ok on his day when he's bothered in attack but lethargic and effortless in defence so ive been told.

Anyway you've a forward and a back leaving soon too and one you probably wont be happy with reading this forum

I agree.
Gaskill can be really good on his day but, IF Jowitt, Miller and Lino are staying, plus Hampshire, it would appear that we have too many similar players.
Also, it's strange signing anyone until we know who will be our coach next season although, if wag gain another few wins, I would expect Chester to continue.

When gaskill first came through I thought this kid looks fantastic but he’s been the cause of his own downfall, beset by off the field problems resulting in a lazy approach to the game, one thing you will get out of jowitt or Ryan in whatever position they play is 100% effort and they make mistakes but they will always give you that. Sadly gaskill will not you might get a good game out of 5 then he just looks uninterested. For me we need some hard tough forwards who run onto the ball and who will roll their sleeves up and say over my dead body and to me this should be priority

Mother of god

I was having a lovely day until this post lol

Day now ruined
Literally the mistake the decade for Wakey lol

My thinking re Chester also if we win a few more

I’d like to see Rocky tested at hooker personally
Especially given that gaskill is coming in

Ok point taken- probably a little harsh by me.
Of course you’re allowed your opinion - we’ll agree to differ on MJ’s ability!

1315,regarding your post stating that Max is the best attacking f/b since Cooper,you're way out there IMO.I'll admit my memory of players/matches going back 50 years or so is far from brilliant,but as an attacking force Les Sheard was way in front of him.I think we picked him up for a pittance from Cas after they had got him from union.He was quite a slightly built bloke but with bags of pace and boy could he break the line regularly in attack.I'm not knocking Max,i like him, but think there is still some improvement in him.

Seen we are on about full Backs who was the guy who played about 6 games for us and packed it in to become a male model he had was very fast

Ok they’re all different players! Sheard was very good one of the many we got from Wakefield RU .
I was simply trying to say IMO! - max is going to be better than box spencer or Holland..

Haven’t we learnt from Brough and Atkins in regards to signing players best their best.

If the forward you mean is Westerman then we already know.

As an old git myself I don’t see age coming into the equation if he’s playing well and can adds to the teams dynamics and brings positivity along with him i personally don’t see a problem . If on the other hand he comes along as a passenger then I’ll have a problem. Any good team required a good mix of youth and experience and we have some cracking youngsters chomping at the bit to get a starting spot ,so maybe Gaskell hopefully will be the older head with the experience guiding the youngsters in our squad ,and for me it’s not the age but if the players is up for it that bothers me the most and time will tell on that matter.

Are you thinking of kevin waters ? We got him from Hull.fc he packed in to be a male model

I've never once looked at an opponent's team sheet and been worried because Lee Gaskell is playing.

Nope not him.

Gaskell s just above average, that seems to fit our agenda.
He will have one good game followed by one average and one below average. Consistensy not his strong point.
Suppose we will soon know if MJs future remains at the club and if he will be in competition Gaskell.
I really hope things workout for both.

Wasn't the signing of westerman a worry when his knee popped out at hull?
