1315,regarding your post stating that Max is the best attacking f/b since Cooper,you're way out there IMO.I'll admit my memory of players/matches going back 50 years or so is far from brilliant,but as an attacking force Les Sheard was way in front of him.I think we picked him up for a pittance from Cas after they had got him from union.He was quite a slightly built bloke but with bags of pace and boy could he break the line regularly in attack.I'm not knocking Max,i like him, but think there is still some improvement in him.

Ok they’re all different players! Sheard was very good one of the many we got from Wakefield RU .
I was simply trying to say IMO! - max is going to be better than box spencer or Holland..

Haven’t we learnt from Brough and Atkins in regards to signing players best their best.

and some of you said i was talking BS!!

Seems its a popular decision with the Hudds fans as they dont seem too bothered hes leaving, ok on his day when he's bothered in attack but lethargic and effortless in defence so ive been told.

Anyway you've a forward and a back leaving soon too and one you probably wont be happy with reading this forum

If the forward you mean is Westerman then we already know.

As an old git myself I don’t see age coming into the equation if he’s playing well and can adds to the teams dynamics and brings positivity along with him i personally don’t see a problem . If on the other hand he comes along as a passenger then I’ll have a problem. Any good team required a good mix of youth and experience and we have some cracking youngsters chomping at the bit to get a starting spot ,so maybe Gaskell hopefully will be the older head with the experience guiding the youngsters in our squad ,and for me it’s not the age but if the players is up for it that bothers me the most and time will tell on that matter.

I've never once looked at an opponent's team sheet and been worried because Lee Gaskell is playing.

Nope not him.

Re: Lee Gaskell : Sat Jun 19, 2021 6:39 pm  

Gaskell s just above average, that seems to fit our agenda.
He will have one good game followed by one average and one below average. Consistensy not his strong point.
Suppose we will soon know if MJs future remains at the club and if he will be in competition Gaskell.
I really hope things workout for both.

Wasn't the signing of westerman a worry when his knee popped out at hull?
