Made 43 tackles yesterday and 13 carries. Big game.

The Ashurst of old, just overshadowed by Jowitt and Walker.

He’s too old not worth a contract I’m told

I remember someone suggesting that Fifita was no longer interested and we should offload him to Catalan.

Thought Ashurst did well .. his commitment to taking the flat ball and dummy running.. enabled Walker and Jowitt to create space on the left for Hall and Johnstone.

Hasn't broke a tackle in 5 years though?

3 Tackle busts in the last 2 games ….

If he could break a tackle like you break wind he'd be a world beater

You e been proved wrong yet again, bow out now

I still think 2 years was too long of an extension to his contract. I believe giving Batchelor a 2 year deal and Ashurst 1 would have been better for Wakey. Recruitment is also about knowing when to let players go, not just who to bring in. I would have said thanks for being a great servant and moved on with batchelor pitts tanginoa, Walker and crowther fighting for 2nd row and Loose.

This is the problem W P as had very little to do with a lot of the contracts that have been given

Depends what his contract is.
Crowther and Walker are looking at 13.
Tanginoa is the only one who plays left.
So Ashurst is needed .

I thought he had a good solid game, unspectacular but tackled everything and didn't go missing.
If his back troubles are truly behind him he's going to be a key component of the engine room.

I’d agree with that. Age limits all players but the best adapt and I think Matty can do.

100% commitment every game about time people realised this nothing flash but does what is asked of him
