I'd only play him against Widnes if he's 100%. No point rushing him back and aggravating his injury again.

We proved against Salford that we don't need to rely on him in order to get the win, though a player of his quality will give us a much bigger chance of turning Widnes over.

Looks like season is over looks like lowes doesn't want to play him

Or we are resting him until the Leigh game?

I would have thought he'd be on the bench against Rovers to get some game time before next week. Don't like first game back for him is away at Leigh. It's all or nothing next week though.

Given that Lowesy admits we've, "lost confidence", bringing him back for next Saturday could be the tonic we need?

It's got to be the strongest 17 next week. No Walker, no Mendieka, probably one or two more. Win next week and Leigh are out

We live in hope!

Heard it on the terraces that he's going end season that's why lowes won't play him

If you did, still surely you aren't stupid enough to believe such utter bullcrap, though?



I mean, either he's still got bruised kidneys from breaking the post with his ribs, or Lowes is not only lying but also vindictively spiking his team's chances of going up, out of some petty fit of pique? And that Green is happy to tolerate this even though he would (obviously) know that the docs had passed Gaskell fully fit to play/

Which do you consider to be a realistic possibility?

Whether the rumours are true or not he just saying what he has heard

Seems funny that club say he's fit but don't play him he's one of the better players should be looking for every point to get back up to super league so why not play him 1) try get the 2 points 2) match fitness even if only play him of the bench

Has the club said he is fit?

They haven't said he's fit

Hope that helps

Not publically maybe but when u got people in the know

Lee has just won the award for Champ player of the year. Fully deserved as well!

He's been brilliant this season and fully deserves it. Well done Lee

Brilliant news, and thoroughly deserved. The class of the comp.

A little bit surprised the best club ever didn't win anything

Obligatory one liner that he is hoping to be fit for Sunday, come Weds when they say he might not make it setting up for squad announcement on Friday that he hasn't made it!

More important that's he's fit for Saturday when we play than Sunday

. Even if he is fit he may be given week off as his wife's due to give birth on Saturday.

I suspect we will see as much of him on Saturday as we will on Sunday

If Leigh are listening, I can guarantee he is playing. You better be ready, cos Lee is gonna get Leigh

lets just hope he appears and shows some class in the last 2 / 3 games,

Although it is to me bizarre that a winner can be chosen before the key games have taken place. A bit like choosing a MoM 10 minutes before the end of a close game, where the brilliance that wins the match might easily go unrewarded; or picking a try or goal of the season, before the last weekend of fixtures.

Totally nuts, and very irritating.

Well not really, a MoM should be someone who has contributed all game, so someone might do something amazing in the last minute, but was has he done for the 79 minutes leading up to that?

It's not 79. Lance Todd votes are gathered about 15 minutes before the end.
