Leeds have signed Cory Aston from Sheffield on a two year deal.

Anyone seen him play?

Was a tough season last year for Sheffield, had no strong forward pack to play off but he did well, his speed will suit Super League far better than the Championship, developing into a great kicker as well

Is he Mark Aston`s son?

Yes he is so - his father was a pretty good player if the son is of a similar quality then Leeds have signed a good addition to the squad

No way good enough for super league,,
Looks a bit petulant to me as well.
And I really hope you don't loan him to us the name Aston should never be on a fev team sheet again.

bargain bin dipping

Could be a bit of a project signing, but we will see, some good half backs in super league stepped up from championship. Still only 21 and with lilley 19 and sutcliffe 20 these could be our starting halfs for years to come.

We have had an eye on him for a while and so have others, good prospect, there just aren't enough good English halves around so looking at championship is no bad thing.

He looks a similar build to Brierley.
Cheaper option maybe?
Rumour of Zak heading to Giants btw.
Does that mean we go with McGuire and Burrow/Lilley/Aston next year?
If so I think it leaves us weak in defence with nobody moving the team around the park.

Updated for Cory Aston joining the club. Means we now have 25 man squad for SL but Lilley and Hallas remain unsigned (or unannounced).

talking of half backs, we have taken Jack Wray from you guys. Any of you seen him play? Strengths/weaknesses etc?

fair enough mate, we will see.

Ormondroyd, Aston, Wood...can't say i'm all that pumped by the transfer activity thus far.

He's a Hull lad so I guess he's going back home.

Maybe we are bringing him in as cover so we can allow Lilly to go on a full year loan, which would probably develop him more than being in and out of 2 different teams with dual reg
