I thought he would have had that trained into him but if it had, he hasn't adapted to it too well. He is like a soft puppy compared to say Masila of Salford or am I being too critical ??


Let's all remember how young he is, and what they say about props getting better with age. If not we might as well give up on him Maher Douglas and Igbinedion.

Got told this today so not sure if it's got any weight.
True i believe, he's been offered to other clubs. Don't know if there are any takers.

Well why did we bother extending his contract so early?

Good question.
Maybe he's just home sick, didn't his girl friend have to go back to France due to her not getting a work permit, not sure if that's 100% true.
Maybe Daryl thinks he's just not gonna cut it, maybe Gadwin as asked to go.....who knows.
It does seem a funny one.

She's French so doesn't need a work permit but she did struggle to find work in her chosen profession due to her English not being good enough. She has gone back to France I'm not sure if that is to allow her to work and brush up her English skills or if she has no intention of going back.

I don't think DP would give up on the lad however it could be that he has asked to go back to France

Apparently on Yorkshire radio it's been mentioned a swop deal with Walmsley and springer.
Anyone heard it.

Yeah they very briefly mentioned it when talking about McGuire, the host just threw in (possibly read from the Facebook feed)something along the lines of 'what do you think about the rumour doing the rounds of Alex Walmsley going to Cas by the end of the week with Gadwin Springer going the other way'

we've suspected that for some time, pits because he has the ability to be very good.

Might explain why he only does 20min a game, he don't want to be here really.

Shame as he has the size to go all the way. Maybe he will at Catalan although under their present coach he will only go backwards.

Not an issue aslong as we bring in a proven SL/NRL player to replace him (not one looking for a pension top up neither)

GS is from French Guiana - one of the smallest and least populated countries in South America.

Anyone remember the classic film Papillion with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman ? I don't think the film was shot there but it was based on the book by the French convict Henri Charrière who was imprisoned in French Guiana.

When Gadwin came on against Hull he was awesome for the 20 mins or so he was on. Great impact and I thought if he can replicate that in the remainder of games it will be a further great boost to our GF aspirations. However his 2 games since have been a bit of a damp squib and I was disappointed.

The rumour doing the rounds and I stress that it is a rumour is that he is unsettled and wants a release, I would presume at the end of the season. His girlfriend apparently went back home as she couldn't get a job, so maybe he's feeling lonely and homesick. If true it's a shame no one could get her a job. As I say just a rumour and maybe tripe.

Personally whatever the situation I hope something can be done, as I still think there is one good impact player there, particularly if he can replicate what he did v Hull. He should be having a real go as he won't get many chances again of playing in and winning a SL Grand Final. If indeed he does want to return to France then he ought to be having a real go v the Catalans as quite frankly that's where he is going to have to go at present if he does want head home.
