It's on The Bulls Facebook page, Gaskell will be out for at least 4 weeks with a fractured jaw.

Is that another four weeks from now?

With our policy of keeping injuries under wraps, god knows, suggest we wouldn't have owned upto this one if it hadn't come out at disciplinary

Who knows but 4 weeks is better than we were led to believe.

I assumed they were waiting for a final diagnosis and hoping the injury would allow him to still play. No point telling everyone he's got a jaw injury if he's going to play and giving them a target.

I would think he will only need a couple of games to get fully fit again. This is better news than it could have been as he will be back with hopefully, a fully firing Seijka and Mullaney.

The T & A are reporting that Gaskell could be out for 8 weeks:

As the regular season reaches its climax and we then go into the tasty bit there isn't going to be any place for anything other than a fully fit Gaskell. His jaw, in effect, will be like a big target for any other club seeking an advantage. No way should be looking at rushing him back.

Our new visitor (who has since disappeared) said Gaskell had had an operation to plate his jaw. As such, he ain't gonna be back in 4 weeks, nor anything like. The Bulls appear to have given information to the disciplinary which I quoted yesterday, clearly saying he would be out for 8 weeks and I doubt they would have exaggerated for effect, but there's no way he should be rushed back anyway after an injury like that.

Need Mullaney and Seijka to form a half decent partnetship now me thinks, or we look for a loan, whats Sammut doing these days

surely we can deregister someone.



Gives him a break to rest his body before the 8's which can only be good for us.

T&a start out saying he's expected to be out for eight then later in article say club aren't giving a figure. Club say at least 4. So I'd guess if we're lucky he could be back for Leigh at earliest or it could be any time after. Need mullaney and sjelka to step up to the plate if ferres is serious about not bringing anyone in.

Genuinely hope it is only 4 weeks, I want him fit for the Leigh game, both teams going at it with full squads available, that's why we watch the game to see the best lads giving it everything. Wish Gaskell a quick return.
