| 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.

| Great signing for you and shows how committed the club are. I've know doubt plenty of other clubs would have been sniffing around.

Mazive signed for York.

Ackroyd and Wray got promoted this year - both imho look better prospects than Mazive and Moulles.
Just my opinion as it always hard to know but I haven't felt as positive about a player in Ackroyd since Johnstone.
Also signed Schofield from Leeds Academy which to me also counts as a junior signing.

Wray that was the kids name I was trying to think of that signed at the same time as Ackroyd. Yeah there certainly seems to be a bit of hype behind Ackroyd, hopefully he can fullfil it with us.

When I look at a youngster the question I ask is not will they make it - far to early to tell - but will they benefit from a full time environment.
I never got that feeling with Mazive or Moules. They both looked as good as they were ever going to imho. Where as in say Crowther and Jowitt I can still see room for growth. TJ and to a degree Batch are already there.
Ackroyd looks to have acres of potential so well worth persisting with. He won't get any game time other tha friendlies and maybe a cup game but he should get the chance to impress in training. Wray is a longer term project but he has one big selling point, he's big and seems to have the heart to match.
Fingers crossed for both.

| Luke Hooley is the player that impressed well last season, he went very well at Oldham in his loan spell, starring in games and picking up man of the match awards which is very impressive. SL supporters tend to be snobbish when talking about the `lower leagues `but many many SL youngsters are sent out on loan to lower league clubs and fail to impress, mainly because they are still very young and the game is bloody tough, and perhaps some players feel a bit above that level and do not go with the correct attitude. So for Luke do impress so well at Oldham suggests to me that firstly he is very talented and secondly and of equal importance he has a first class attitude. Bodes very well. Bit of quality at full back with Grix, Jowitt and Hooley

Also went on loan to Dewsbury and impressed. Just not sure about his status, is he in next years full time squad?
