Quote ="Trojan Horse"Not hall but In 2022 Lyne’s form really dipped (even started running sideways too much like he used to). Gaskell was in much better form at right centre than Lyne that last 8 or so games.
Lyne is still a good player but he shouldn’t be an automatic selection on last years performances.
It’s strange, Gaskell wasn’t great at halfback and struggled to create much and kicked too early on some plays yet at centre he looked accomplished and played to a good standard.
If a quality half becomes available we certainly have the option to look at it and Gaskell can cover centre/full back.
As an aside I wonder if we have talked to Taupau from NRL as he seems to be available still. Would be a good pack leader for sure and be invaluable for the young props we have in our set up to have a player of his experience.
Talking of props Scott Taylor from FC maybe available. He’s a big unit and probably carries some risk but it could be worth a punt at the right price.
Really excited to see who we bring in!'"
I agree that Reece's form dipped, but the whole team were struggling a bit generally. Gaskell got a lot of stick, some of it justified, but he is quite useful to have in a squad, if a little inconsistent......
