He really is only a bench player, could play him at 9 after 30 mins, then play Roby at loose forward. He,s a bit of a loose cannon at 6.

Does this mean Gaskell should be back in the fold????

I don't think so as yet as lomax seems to benefit hohaia being there for some reason.



Rush has been clever in taking all the pressure off the youngsters and making sure its the senior players that step up.



Maybe if we put a few wins together and get more confident then we can introduce Gaskell and foster back in the fold.

We don't lack confidence. We lack application.

Nah,thats one of those lines that sounds good, but means feck all

The pressure is off him with Hohaia in there, he was required to make far more kicks earlier in the season. He's been left now as mainly a runner and it's done him a favour.

there's a bit of that, but Gaskell and Foster definitely were low on confidence when they were wisely dropped, getting bagged for weeks on end can lead to ruining promising careers.

re: Don

I agree, manager b*ll*cks speak, you lack the 'Roby isn't playing what's our alternative', just a little binning showed up straight away

People need to reconise that playing #6 at 20 years of age with the pressure of being our fieid kicker is a tough job. It's even tougher when your halfback partner is only a young lad as well.



I think rush did the correct thing in giving Gaskell and foster a spell in the u20s and I still think both have big futures on the game, especially lee Gaskell.

Thanks but I disagree.



There is a massive difference between lack of confidence and lack of application. Over-confidence and laziness can cause a lack of application, for example.

They may have been low on confidence, yes, or they may have simply been over-anxious. Not always the same thing. Either way I said before Royce was sacked that they needed time away from the limelight to get their heads back together again and so I agree totally that it was right for them to be dropped for a spell.

I think it's a clever comment from Brown as he's not going to speculate where he'll play him is he? Brown will wait until he gets here and has a proper look before nailing down a position for Lance - FB IMO, but Wellens is playing really well.
