Regardless of what Watson said or did not say about the reason Gaskell pulled out please enlighten is with your knowledge as you always seem to know the inside track.

Was it a head injury issue that led to Gaskell pulling out. If not and it was a hamstring or quad or thigh injury I am happy to admit I was wrong.


In respect of Darnelll I can only go on what was being said including by his mother who in a now deleted post indicated he was going. Either way having that up in the air would more than likely effect someone. Although in your simplistic world you would adhere to the maxim “ he’s a professional and get on with it”

My view is equally as simplistic he is a good winger who is local and I would like to keep him. I also would not break the bank to keep a winger. As I have said before you spend money on your spine first. If we cannot then fair enough but we have had enough players leave who felt their opportunities were blocked . I believe that was the case with Dom young . If he is going then yes I would not play him and would unblock things to give someone else a chance.


In respect of other OOC players and those who are leaving I would judge each case on its merits. If we had a good half back who was blocked by sezer then yes I would be saying drop sezer and give the experience to the other player . But we don’t so their is no gain in not playing sezer. The same with Gaskell. But you already know that and you are just trying to invent things to support a point

You are talking rubbish. Hastings is off at the end of the year- you think there’s any chance wigan won’t play him if fit?
You do darnell and all our players a massive disservice if you think they can’t be professional about their jobs. With supporters like you I’m not surprised any decent players want out. In fact his head is going to be made more messed up by the kind of comments you’ve made rather than the fact he fancies trying a different team and seeing what it’s like elsewhere, coupled with a higher pay check. It’s clear you don’t want him so if he had any reservations after reading your comments he may have decided it’s the right thing to do.
Would you still be complaining if we are making room for say Dom manfredi I wonder.

P.s 8 of the players who played on Sunday are OOC this season- imagine if we don’t play any of them because they might happen to be moving on........

Did I say drop sezer No.

Did I. Say drop all the OOC players no .


I said I WOULD JUDGE EACH CASE IN ITS MERITS

I put it in in full capitals as for a teacher you seem to struggle with reading
What i said is that if we have a good upcoming player then we should play him .

If we are losing Darnell and the plan is to replace him with one of the seniors then we play a senior. If we cancel the loan with Wakey or Oldham then we do it. If the plan is to sign manfredi and we are not going to be looking at the seniors then we could keep Darnell on the wing until Manfredi comes . Somehow I don’t think he is coming so let us reward the players we are keeping as much as we can.

If we have someone who is capable of doing the job then promote them. Make them feel valued and they have a future at the club . Make the seniors think Huddersfield is my club, they want me and they are PLAYING me.

As for Russell being compared to Sezer that I something from your head not mine..

I don’t think Russell will be good enough prospect for the Giants in the halves so he would not be an option.

Finally I hope we are not signing Manfredi. Hooker / prop/ and replacing Sezer is the priority
