I assume we got him to sign, 'a piece of paper', giving us first refusal if Wire finally decided they didn't want to keep him?

Considering Myler's agent is currently making noises about him potentially going to the NRL (rumours say Manly are interested), I can't see Wire wanting to lose O'Brien too.

Apparently Gaskell took a knock to his shoulder yesterday so we may see how we are with out him shortly. Did seem to be having some discomfort with it.

I expect we'll strap him up for Sunday though, but i would rest him up for Doncaster. Need to look after him and wrap him up in cotton wool.

Personally I'd rest any potentially injured players next week in the cup. As much as we'd all like to see how we shape up against SL opposition, I think the cup game should be considered as unimportant as we've no realistic chance of winning the trophy anyway. Don't risk players getting further injured in it when the league is the priority.

Gaskell was certainly holding his shoulder as he left the field yesterday, so it was bothering him. If he's not 100%, I wouldn't have him in the side for KR, especially considering Siejka could be out for a while.

Much too risky to play either Gaskell or Siejka if any chance of aggravating injuries. We don't need to win against Hull K R just put in a decent performance .

If he’s fit then he plays but any doubt and I’d rest him. No need to take any unnecessary risks.

Mullaney is fit again which is a bonus. Could be worth giving Brook some minutes versus Donny.

Could be interesting to see who plays in the centres next weekend if Purtell is out. No Blythe or Baille either.

Henry and Uaisele? Ulugia and Williams (if fit) on the wings?

I can see us struggling a lot vs HKR with these injuries.

Did Brook and the others go out on a month's loan or was it dual reg? Because if it was a loan, then we can't recall for the Doncaster game.
If we end up short in the centres I would play Walshaw there. He played in the backs quite a few times for Wakefield last season iirc. ANYTHING BUT CHEV!

T&A said DR

Re: Does Gaskell Do Too Much? : Mon Apr 13, 2015 12:49 pm  

I thought Petersen was Dual Reg, but Brook & Conroy were month long loans? So I don't think we can play Brook within that month period, as it's a minimum for all loans isn't it?

Your'e right, it only explicitly mentions Peterson as DR. On further investigation: http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/pos ... rd-on-loan
