Saw same rumour. Had a bit more specifics to it in that we were trying to sign Ellis on season long loan and Wood permanent. But with being rumoured with just about eveyr HB so far, ia gree lets take it with a pinch of salt.

Think difficulty we've got is even if Hudds and Bulls agreed a loan deal with Ellis, would he really want to come down to the championship and play at Workington, Oldham etc.

He might relish the chance to move to a bigger club.

What do you feel Gaskells best position will be for us, and would he be better with Chase/Ridyard/Reynolds as his partner if in the halves. Has he played 13 before, I believe he has played FB?

Ten metres in front of you facing your way.

Flat out stand off. The only reason to play him at FB is so that you have a FB who plays like a stand off, but you'll have a FB who plays like a stand off who sometimes catches a high ball. Which probably isn't what you want.

God i remember when Cummins persisted with Gaskell at FB and some in the media had the audacity to say we were harsh in sacking him.
