Briefing the press to unsettle people and get under their skin doesn't seem like something that would happen at Leigh so there's probably some truth to it.
It's all conjecture, RL paper sensationalism & FWIW I don't see it happening.
Leigh have potentially 3 Stand Offs in Riddy, Rangi & Ben Reynolds, even if Rangi was to defect & never play again we also have young Foster who could do a lesser job at 6.
Of those I mention, 3 of the 4 could also play 7 so we seemingly have lots of cover there, unless Gaskell directly replaces Riddy & Rangi is seen at 7 then I just don't see it.
Don't get me wrong, I would have Gaskell at Leigh in the blink of an eye, such is my high regard of his talent, but I think a current SL Club will secure his signature, if not in the next window then by season end surely.
I don't believe Leigh would have made an illegal approach on Gaskell, especially given how bitter the whole
Ryan Brierley affair was & neither do I believe Bulls illegally approached Ryan.
Remember that it is in an agents best interest to create a big buzz around their clients to drive up the value & create movement & transfers, essentially lining their own pockets.
So don't worry about Leigh, worry about a SL Club.
Best of British.
