Greg maybe he is a big fish in a small pond? I rate Gaskell but saints wouldn't of let him go if he was so good!! I still wouldn't mind him at Leigh mind!! Haha

Thats probably why Saints let Matty Smith go? I can see your logic

Lee Briers was a pretty useless halfback too!

Exchanged for Paul Sculthorpe. I think Saints got the better deal.

I aren't sure Briers was a swap for Sculthorpe

No he wasn't.

Well, Gaskell said that he was targeting the game against Leigh for his comeback. So either he's still not fit, or Lowes has decided to not risk him until the middle 8's. Now, personally, I think option 2 is a much better idea because, as I've said elsewhere, the next two games mean nothing

Agree with that, but there is also the argument that, after so long out, both Lee and Harry will probably need a couple of games to get 'match fit'.

Well I'm not sure regarding Gaskell. His fitness level shouldn't have dropped that much given where he was injured as he should still be able to train to a degree just not any contact training

As for Siejka, it's less his physical fitness but more his fitness to pull on the shirt that I'm more concerned about

I'm assuming Leighs halves were not available today?

I actually thought Ridyard's kicking game in the first half was pretty good but it wasn't his best game. Ryan Brierley was very quiet today.

On Gaskell, I wouldn't play him against Halifax. We got the draw today against a more or less full strength Leigh side without half-backs, and second place is ours. I'd rest him up and make sure he's fully fit for the Middle 8s. The same goes for Mullaney.
