He def looks the business to me and i would be happy to gamble on a longer contract for him if thats what it takes, looks a quality forward with a really good skillset and excellent attitude. Mason for me always looked like a big lad who played rugby because of his size alone, English is a natural RL player.

Guess we are talking about different Masons, I was referring to the one who was on a long contract and cost half a million to get rid of.

I'm just as impressed as everyone else by English, give him an extra year now with the promise of a long contract if he is still playing as well at the end of next season.

not sure how keith mason has popped up in relation to matty english ! totally different situation and at different ends of the spectrum in terms of experience and age.

english is still under contract till end of 2019 anyway.

Then no need to panic, let the lad prove himself.

signed new deal till end of 2022 with the club.

good work.

Well done Richard thewlis - great signing!

Great news, he was a bit of a target from Fifita/Huby/Pauli in the second wake game but still stood up and performed.

Glad to hear it. I hope he continues to develop his game and become an established part of the first team, he has lots to offer.

great decision by woolford, making his mark already

Really pleased to see us bringing all these youngsters through definitely the way to go for the future. Trust the club will continue to develop future stars through the academy and that Woolford can supplement them with some seasoned professionals - if so the near future looks very positive. COYG

Marty is one of The few blonde haired players in rugby. Strange or what?

could grow it like crabtree.
