Better news than that great new shirt

Great news to cheer everyone up. Hope the England selectors aren't put off by this.

great news and great work by the club.

just a question that my dad ask every time I see him and talk about wakey - is he related to a bill ashurst who used to play I presume back in 60's?

For the record BOJ he played for us in late 70s up until early 80s.

Not sure if he s related though

Bloody hell, the cracking shirt and now this. I can't handle all this good news in the same day.

They are not related.

Wonderful news
Delighted matty has signed a long term contract like this with us

Well played Daddy cool !

Really reaping the rewards of two relatively successful seasons with the building of a good squad and hanging onto the better players. It's such a shame that all the hard work done by the club is being totally undermined by slimy politicians/civil servants who offer nothing of value to the community. Anyhow there are enough threads bemoaning the LA. Great news getting Ashurst signed up. Hopefully he remains under the radar so he can be at his best for Trinity.

4 years means we either see the best of him, or we get paid handsomely. 4 years also shows how committed the players are to the club

Good luck to him, he's been fantastic and I'm sure he'll just get better and better. Certainly a potential captain in years to come

A 4 year deal is fantastic. Great news

Right signing

Gives everything when playing. Very pleased with his signing and as others have said could be a future captain.

The way things are going it looks as though we are going to end up with more or less the same squad as last year apart from Williams, now that keegan and Matty have signed up, which can only be a good thing as we have usually started a new season with a bunch of strangers.So their familiarity with each other is a great bonus.

Agree it is a great bonus and not having a big turnover last year was probably one of the reasons we did much better this one. The only place I think we need an extra body is Prop, with just 4 out and out Props. 2 less than what we started this past season with Allgood & Ant Walker leaving. Adam Walker was also brought in but the other Walker had gone and Allgood was done for the season by then.
We've obviously increased a few players wages like Ashurst and Hirst so that has to be taken into account when looking at the squad. Since the start of last last season we've lost Allgood & Walker from the Prop department Sio,Williams, Gibson and Molloy, even though he hasn't been seen this year.
Next season even though he came at the end of this last season we brought in Randall and obviously Horo.
Tbh I'm not sure out of the younger guys we've gots like Mazive and Moules who's staying and apart from Akroyd who's getting promoted from the U19's.
