Nope. Not happening.
Even if Ryan Brierley has gone. Even if Chase has gone into Recovery/Rehab/OuterSpace. Even if Martyn Ridyard has decided his heart is still at Leigh Miners and he has had enough of being full time...
We would still have far more options at halfback in Reynolds, Paterson, Charnock and Foster than Bradford have at the minute. No way Gaskell would walk out on them unless he has Ryan Brierley type morals, which I doubt.
Gaskell was in my age group at junior level and always seemed a quality guy when I have played against him. I expect he wouldn't leave Bradford short with no replacement. Not that I would complain if he did sign for Leigh, but I think that would be the final nail in the Bradford coffin and I don't see that as a likely outcome.
Having said that, if he is available I would take him in a heartbeat.
Ridyard at 6 and Gaskell at 7? Yes please!
