I remember a game he played in for Bradford when he took us apart - the game where we opened the new stand I think so was a while back.

He left Bradford at the end of the 2016 season, so it's a good few years ago

Think Gaskell could do a job for us to the end of the season.

Correct, they put 40 plus on us and he was MOM.

According to Matt shaw 

Rugby League Live understands the two clubs in hot pursuit of Gaskell are Championship duo Featherstone Rovers and Bradford Bulls.

If we can keep him fit and on the pitch he would be an asset. But he's paper lately. Playing a handful of marches over a few years. He could be Ford PT 2.

   The way i see it.He has all the tools required long and short passes and a good all round kicking game.He could do a job until end of season offer him small retainer and then pay per game.

I would have thought putting himself in the shop window playing regularly for a team top of the championship going for SL would be more important than owt we could offer him money wise plus being able to pick the brain of Sean L and the chance of a SL contract with us  next year  I think would also appeal

[Daft old hooker]

We need another half back to add competition and cover to the squad, the problem is a few other clubs do and there aren’t a lot of options available in this country so it’s get what you can or we need to look abroad.

  He's 33 year old so i doubt if he is desperate for a return to SL and with his injury record who would give him a good contract money wise.He looked a brilliant prospect when he started at Saints probably underachieved on what was expected of him.Would do for us though as very few half backs available.

Maybe S but we could still dangle that carrot as for injuries been a bit unlucky broken jaw dislocated elbow and lately a torn pectoral muscle

  He would be ok and if we do get promoted i can see Ford retiring so we will need at least another half back.He has also played centre and full back so could cover the backs.

There still seems to be a lot of talk about Connor Jones going to Cas. Unless they’ve offered mega money, really can’t see why we would let him go.

That's twice you've spread this rumour so who's it come from, what are the names of the people telling you this and how reliable have they been in the past?

[jamescolin]

Jones is such a good player for us, be stupid to let him go.

I think it's he said she said PH. Marvellous how one little thing said on Facebook escalates. Everyone in Fev must be saying it's true by now.

It’s a twitter rumour. I’ll leave it at that, and hopefully there’s nothing more to see.

Ok fair enough. That's my concern, one numpty says something on FB, others repeat it and once people have seen it a couple of times they then think there must be something in it and people start believing it.

There are many rumours of incoming... 

With every new addition I suspect some will leave.... 

Might be an interesting few weeks. Conversely, it may not.

I'll wait n see

Pretty pleased that the Gaskell rumour came to nothing.

I had a feeling the club had lukewarm interest..... but I know bug ger all.

He's getting on a bit, injury prone and had very little game time. I'm with you on that.
