He could've played him full back this week, even if not standoff.



As you say, that looks like that, but its more than a little baffling to me.

Kinda looks like Gaskell #6 nail in the coffin time then... If he has no place even in the 19 with the players we have out then we won't be seeing him in the halves again barring an outbreak of plague at the training ground I don't think. I think we'll be seeing Hohaia ostensibly staying at #6 but doing a lot more work from dummy half.

I think that's it for Gaskell, I'm sorry to say.

Sounds bad for Gaskell, always thought he was a talented lad but I don't see him every week.

As for Pryce, he had a very good game v Widnes last weekend apparently but the Friday prior to that he went MIA. Bosc did an untold amount of tackling and our Leon was nowhere to be seen.

Catalans went toe to toe with Wigan for 30 mins and they could have done with his contribution.

Don't know if he was like that for Saints but on that showing your not missing much by him not being at Langtree.

Pryce is better than anything we have at standoff at the moment. He was accused of being a flat track bully but I dont think that was fair tbh. He'd walk into our current team as he's miles better than Hiho

I think with Gaskell not being picked again that the lad as signed for someone else and the club know this

How can he? He is contracted to Saints until 2104.

Yeah, he used to go missing for us too. Very frustrating really as when he wants to play he is invaluable.

2013 mate

o.k.

I thought he had signed a three year deal back in 2011.

He did but that included the 2011 season

Don't think even the life time president could live up to a contract until 2104.



It may not be the end for Gaskell at Saints, but as a half it must be. The only possible reason I can think that Gaskell has not been picked this week, but may have a chance of playing, is that he is being trained into a new position a bit like Wellens.



The likelihood is that he's now gone, but it would not take much for Brown to surprise everyone and be getting another player to perform in a new position.
