Gareth was unlucky at Leeds to be behind Burrow and McGuire at that time who were probably the best half-back pairing in super league, Gareth has the talent to go all the way at this level which was proved by his man of the match performance on Sunday against Huddersfield Giants which he kicked them to death in open play and with the tee. I think the big headedness comes with him knowing he as the talent to become a top scrum half, He is now training full time with a lot of experience at Wakey and looks like Kear's gamble might just pay off. Danny Brough is now 29 Gareth is 21 and i can see a lot of similarities in these two, Hope people give him time to adapt to super league and prove all the doubters wrong... Good luck to the lad i say !

I was always impressed with Gaz when i went to watch the Rhinos academy, He always had the talent and the potential to make it in SL IMO, but he was sadly in a queue behind Burrow,McGuire and Sinny for a shot in the 1st team.

Karl Harrison did a fantastic job in getting Gaz's career back on track at Batley though and he would have loved to have kept him at the club without doubt, but obviously Karl didn't want to hold him back when such an opportunity of playing in SL arose

Good look to him at Wakey i say

Agree when I used to watch more academy games I really liked the look of him. Hope he does well at wakey, when he dropped down was worried he might not make it in SL but credit to him and the coaches who have helped him get back into SL hope he makes the most of it.

batley all but showed him the door

If you knew the facts you would know that he walked away and by doing so created the opening for a mid season switch. Unfortunately batley and some of their fans were told otherwise to save blushes of the fact that a clause in his contract allowed him to move immediately without there being a sniff of an illegal approach or any form of transfer fee.
If you really believe batley were looking to show him the door after leading them to their first trophy in nearly 100 years, him winning young player of year with hardaker as well as breaking a mass of batleys points scoring records in his first season then you must believe anything you are told !
