Sorry, I misread your post, I thought you said Gaskell played right with Foster and Wheeler played left with Meli.
I'm not Jesus Christ, I've come to accept that now.

But what made me laugh was he said gaskell defended bad on the left hand side when I thought gaskell played was one of the better player that game and he played on the right side which anyone who watches the game back we see gaskell got dropped because him and rush dont get on and the only reason he getting 10 minutes here and there is because his agent kick up a fuss

Gaskell did indeed defend on the right, alongside Shenton and Makinson. After a scratchy start when he first played at first team level last season he became very good in defence.

I agree that there is no justifiable reason for him to have been dropped and the naff comment Rush recently made about Gaskell 'learning his trade' in the u20s still gets me annoyed. As if a player who has competed in a Grand Final having helped the team get to it in the first place can learn anything from playing in the u20s! To suggest that is an insult to Gaskell and to the fans he thinks he is fooling.

Rush says what he thinks the fans want to hear and most of the team he is full of crap and he will never fool me there is some ill feeling between him and gaskell

Probably same again except Gaskell out Perry in.

Going on last week, I'd bring Perry in to the team for Flanders.
Against Salford they only used him for 15 minutes at the beginning and a short period at the end - he's not exactly an impact player, though, more and honest toiler. If you're not going to let him take the workload, then I don't think you'll get the best from him.

Completely disagree with that, particularly for a half back.

that is not to say I don't agree Gaskell should be playing in the first team, but young halves are constamntly learning, even in the 20s. He may be being asked to work on certain aspects of his game under less pressure.

They probably think (wrongly in my opinion) that there's nothing to learn at Widnes or Salford which he can't learn at Saints.

Because he's in our plans for this year, given he's making the 17 at Saints recently?

I watched him closely during the warm up for the Bradford game (in which he didn't feature) and he seemed in very high spirits. Read into that what you will.
