Rumors are his punchered his lung out for 12 week

Very sorry for him if true and pretty much the end of our hopes too seen as though we don't seem to be able to keep Mullaney fit either. The signing of Siejka and subsequently either choosing not to or unable to recruit a better 7 will come back to haunt us I'm afraid.

If Gaskell's season is over, then so is ours. Simple as that

Our season was over when when put it in reverse instead of top gear I think.

You can't say the season is over

There's 5 matches left and miracles happen in sport........today proved that.

How is it a 'miracle' that a team with a good coach comfortably beat a team with a terrible coach?

I can't see us beating the likes of Salford, Widnes etc without Gaskell. We seriously lack quality in attack without him.

Sorry to hear that. Hope he is ok.

Gaskell is fine but a little sore according to Twitter.

Yeah he's put on his Facebook he's ok apparently.

Link?

Didn't Twitter say something similar when he got his jaw broken?

Not sure if Gaskell had played all game, that that would have prevented us getting thrashed. Glad he is ok though.

Strangely, the report on the game on the Bulls' website doesn't even mention him leaving the field, let alone mind the prognosis.

And wasn't Nielsen fit and raring to go as he "knows his body" and has trained while he wasn't playing.
We can't believe anything that comes out of Odsal these days.
If Gaskell is out and sick note Mullaney is injured again and Seijka is still not prforming we are in deep trouble.
How much will yesterdays humiliation cost the club as people will now stay away at our remaining home games. It could knock a few thousand off the gates - which is about the amount that a decent scrum half may have cost us.

I don't think it will knock a few thousand off the gate. We haven't got enough to knock thousands off

Don't have a problem with that, to be honest.

Much of what comes from the club isn't just for the fans' consumption, it's also part of not showing your hand to the opposition, or the sort of 'mind games' all coaches play.

Not that it did us much good yesterday.....

Glad to hear he is ok

I said it would knock a few thousand off the "gates". I meant as a whole. Three home games left - possibly 1k off each at £20 + parking etc each comes to a very nasty drop in revenue - one decent player!

It wouldn't matter if we played 7 Lee Gaskells at the back, if our pack minces out like the sugar plum fairy tribute team again then we will get 50 put past us again. Sure Gaskell was injured and it didn't help, but he was injured on our own line, where the game was being played. No halfback can do feck all behind a pack that is meekly surrendering.

How many last ditch goal-line tackles do you remember Tim Smith hjaving to make?

So when is he due back?

Every article has said expected back for Widnes game unless you've heard otherwise?

Who knows. The Bulls deliberately put out misinformation all the time these days, so you can't believe pretty much anything you read, and we as a forum seemingly no longer have any real insider contacts, so it's all just a guess, he could be fit already and raring to go, or he could be crocked for the season, or anything in between, we don't know.

Well there's a week to go before any decision has to be made on him playing against Widnes. Hopefully he comes back fit and ready to go
