| Its were we are at , a decent lad who tries hard but would never have got near the team a few years ago . Has improved and is probably our most consistent player this year . Another contract that is too long though , do we never learn !

| Happy with this, think theres still some improvement in him, dont think he's even grew into his frame yet. In a couple of year when hes 25/26 i think he'l be a very good winger for us.

| It's fine in the context of the current team. I'd hope that we're challenging for honours in the next 4 years. I'm not sure he's a title winning winger really.
I'd love to be proven wrong though

| 4 years! Should have been 2 max.No issue with the contract renewal but as others have said he would not get near a top 8 team nor have got near our team of just a few years ago.
Offering long term deals to mediocre players from here is not the way to go imo.

20 appearances & 13 tries for the treble winning side doesn't rule out the possibility.

| He’s had some good games for us this year and a couple of really well-taken interceptions. I dunno - if we had the rest of the side sorted you might want to strengthen his position, but he deserves more time to develop.
I wonder what we’ll do with Lunt and Donaldson.

I hope we give Donaldson another year He’s a really handy squad player with a great attitude IMO
Not sure about Lunt

| Agree about Donaldson, depending on salary. He's in good condition and trains well, and I think we need some of that role modeling for the youth coming through. We do have a couple of senior players who could shed a few pounds...
Lunt has been pretty good I think - his distribution is good and he's pretty solid in D too. I was disappointed we let him go last time. Having said that if we could secure someone like Isaac Luke (I've mentioned elsewhere) then I would swap.
I have a feeling we might be treading water a little bit next year while we finish the "purge" and the talent in the academy develops. Give us 2-3 years and I'm feeling pretty cocky (assuming we stay up of course).

| Im happy to see Ash get a new deal but like others 4yrs is too long imo.
I think it should be 2yrs with a 3rd option anything more than that should be for our elite prospects like Walker etc.
I still think the squad needs a sizable turn over both departures and incomings/promoted u19's and with the new Reserve league next year its going to be an interesting time.

| Actually prefer him to Tom Briscoe.
2 years plus an option on a 3rd would have been better but then again he might still not be on that much for the first two years.

| Donaldson tackles well but makes no yards whatsoever. Weve some good young forwards we need to bring through.

| He doesn't make many meters, but he usually find his front and plays the ball quite quickly.
I'd say he may not have his stature, but his role is exactly the same as Ian Kirke.

He normally comes on merrin. He's probably or most peacock-like player. He tackles well and is safe with the ball. A very kirkesque role

| All depends on salary expectations really. Donaldson isn't good enough to command a top spot, but he is good enough to provide very good squad cover. Thing is I wouldn't want to see Trout or Walters blocked so if we do retain Donaldson, only 1 more year for me initially.
