https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYPuSE6e5w Let go off his contract with the Eels after glassing a member of a biker gang in Australia. Jools will probably say no but fighter with a biker is not really like beating up a student or a drunken fight in Leeds !

gaskell and murphy

or

murphy and ormsby

cant see us bringing in anymore players at this point.

we will find out this saturday or the following wednesday if gaskell is injured again as if he doesnt play in a warm up game he must be !

would like to see jake wardle against workington if fit

according to rick stone gaskell should be ok for the start of the season but he has had a few niggly issues with the hamstring

currently in full training though

Would imagine Davy would say not - which is more important.
Irrelevant anyway as we already have maximum number of non-fed trained. - which is a poor situation IMO.

Jake is 4 weeks off full contact training

I didn't realise we had a centre problem. We have plenty of players who will put there hand up for that position and do a good job over any SL opposition.
Our squad is looking good.

Yes it is

Gaskell's issue stems from the 2015 season in the middle 8s when he collided with the post against Wakey

He was coughing up a lot of blood and fears of a punctured lung......last season he picked up a hamstring injury and it was a niggly one.....Since he has been at Huddersfield your medical team have discovered that this Back/rib and lung injury cause a lot of stress to his lower regions and a lot more of his weight was being carried on his legs thus aggravating the hamstring injury.

This is now fixed and could of been fixed earlier if Bradford had sent him for proper medical care rather than a physio trying to diagnose

good to see the giants have got to the bottom of the problem or so it seems, we shall see

Murphy, Cudjoe, Gaskell, Wood, McIntosh, Mellor, Lawrence, Ormsby, Symonds, Wardle all options at centre - it's hardly a problem !!

yup

sundays game got us no closer to knowing who will get the spot

will have to wait till the wire game i think

Wardle isn't an option anymore ....

Assuming Daz means Jacob. Does anyone know why he didn't get a game on Sunday? Is he injured?

Jacob?

I presume he means Jake..?

Out of all those names mentioned, the only 'true' centre there is Cudjoe... All the other players can play centre, but aren't really centres... Or, they aren't ready for regular Super League yet.

Lawrence has oplayed plenty of games there in the past, alright not brilliant in attack at times but defence is top notch. Gaskell obviously talented, can be a revolving door at times so it will be interesting how he goes when he does play.

would like to see jake wardle this saturday!

would have thought he would have played against bradford

Yes, Jake, an according to Rick Stone they are !

Jake Wardle is coming back from a very serious knee injury and is highly rated at the club. I don't think we will see him Saturday unfortunately.

I would like to see Sam Wood given the nod at centre as he never let us down last year.

Jake is 4 weeks away from being able to do contact

Was it Wigan at home last year when Sam played centre? Never let anyone down and would be happy for him to have a go if selected. He has developed further since then physically too so why not?

Sam Wood definitely went well as a centre last season and should get a crack if needed

It was yes... His performance was a highlight in that game for me. He would have developed but will do for many years. I hope he gets some game time this year.

He fared well against a top drawer centre from Wigan, did less well against an average centre against cas IIRC. But then Cas play a different game of rugby. Hopefully Sam will get some game time this year the experience is vital.

you would think sam wood will get another run out against workington this saturday, solid in defence, big lad, needs to work on attack but that will come with him still being young
