Sort all his problems out and then you have a top drawer player but is he beyond repair?

You missed a good attitude off that list. Sadly that's something he seriously lacks. He's not the best trainer, doesn't love the life off the pitch.

I hope he does well as he's a top top lad but I just don't think he's got the mentality of a pro rugby player.

I believe the clincher in getting Gaz to Warrington was the fact the wolves have let him park his butty van in the car park on match day.

His biggest problem is psychological, in my opinion. Towards the end at Saints although he was physically fit he seemed to be holding himself back and not getting involved in play, looking almost scared to get involved in case he got injured again. Whether a change of scenery will help him to get back on his feet or not, only time will tell.

It says a lot when we went with Mark Flanagan at half back in the Grand Final over him.

again, as per my previous post - perhaps he has is mentally beyond repair. He has had that many injuries that he is scared to push it too hard in the gym in case something breaks again.
