I honestly don't think Gaskell has wanted to be a professional rugby player for quite a few years now. He was always looking for a way out of playing when with us, and continued same with you. You will find he suddenly plays well and consistently when his contract is coming up for renewal.

He'll be out of contract at the end of the season when we are relegated.

Whoever thought letting Hampshire go and getting Gaskill in is a moron

I would expect to hear from Jose explaining what is going on at the club. The supporters have done their bit so now it is yours to explain to us why all we hear is bad news and watch terrible performances. The club must be held partly responsible for looking to extend Chester’s contract and take his advice on signings. It was obvious to any supporter that he had reached his natural sell by date.

you can make that case of other players
my point is we are in need of someone with the ability to split the defensive line and he did with ease

do you think we could do with someone, who can run the field, make breaks, score tries and put doubt in defenders minds cause of their pace.

Apparently other than the following all our out of contract players have either resigned with us or elsewhere.
Arona, Croft, Walker, Topou, and the one from the armed forces.

I just can’t be bothered going any more , last nights performance against leeds was abysmal, apart from Dave and Lynne I would be quite pleased if all 15 were leaving. The highlight of the evening was when Gaskell was assaulted in the head (how was that only a yellow card?) when his missus walked to the front of the stand and said “how are you babe?”.

Minns did he actually catch a ball, lineham a sideways running cart horse , miller probably one of the worst games I ve ever seen him play, dancing feet Lino did most of his dancing ten yards behind the line and then threw out a series of quite frankly appalling passes, butler - was he playing? Ashurst why oh why did we give him a 3 year deal , Gaskell went missing long before he went off,

Leeds were absolutely abysmal yet I think we made one break in 80 minutes - I honestly nearly left at half time

You missed out Batchelor and Tanganoa's ball spills.

The sooner the draining of the swamp begins the better for me, a Seismic shift in personal is required ,no one player is off limits . They’ve had it too easy for too long at our holiday club and now we are reaping what we have sown ,a gutless ,heartless set of amateurish players , and that’s not been derogatory to the amateur game who I’m certain put more effort in for no pay every week . Funny Rumour last night as to why we aren’t performing is that old chestnut about not getting paid , I would pay em out in washers personally , and I’d get them back on winning n losing pay , that would soon sort them out . I have never seen as many spilled , lost , dropped and wayward balls in all my years of watching the game . I shall keep supporting the team through these bad times like I’ve done many times before over the years , as players come and go and these players will be history sooner rather than later hopefully,but the club I have loved since a child will always be there in whatever guise and whatever league.

I know you've not been down to the ground for some time, but I have to tell you Chester has been gone for a while now, as you rightly say the club must shoulder the responsibility for allowing him to recruit the players if indeed it was him, the problem though is the here and now and not keep on recriminating what's gone on in the past, there's plenty going on at the moment for you to sink your teeth into without regurgitating old pointless news, try being a bit more positive and less obstructive for once and get behind the club, I'm sure that whether they get things right or wrong they'll be trying to put things right as best they can.
