Played for Wigan...don't want him What is our Board thinking of

When was that then? Was that before he came through the Saints academy or after?

He was Born there Derek played at St Pats Chorley Panthers (I think), Stains academy 1st team then Salford since 2011, 114 SL games (according to Wikipedia).

Sorry did I not base my opinion on a fact then. Point made. Bye.

Great player. Was in the year above me at school (St Peters in Orrell) and captained the rugby team to National Champions (I think twice). Always kept an eye on his progress and he's turned into a very decent player. Would be really happy if this one is true even with the great back row options we already have.

Well, if this is true then I for one think it's a great signing

TBH I don't know too much about him (except for Wikipedia) so I will hold my opinion until I actually see him play in a Leigh Shirt.

Cmon Frederick , have we actually signed Matty Ashurst ?Or is it just Hear say , Rumours , or a Salfordlad tale ?You know I deal only in Facts . .

This I think will be a great signing if true

If true, then you've got yourself a real good player. Serious grafter, very professional and scores tries too. He's been a fantastic squad player for us (As in he's played second fiddle to others) always done more than asked when he's played. Would strengthen most teams.

I'll be disappointed if he leaves. Whilst he isn't first choice behind Hock and Hansen, he naturally still gets plenty of game time and has been great for us this season. As I put on the Salford board, with respects to Leigh he is much better than the Championship. If it happens got yourself a cracking signing.

Salford also have the lad from cas joining them so this could well be true

Looks like we are active and the agents are trying to get prices up in bidding wars

At least it makes a change from the Jamie Ellis rumors........
