    I think his contract is up at the end of the season, he hasn’t really impressed me so if he went on to pastures new i wouldn’t be disappointed.

    Wire away was a watershed for Jack. We need replacements for Zeb and Louie very soon and it is not Jack at his age and at this stage of his development objectives.

    Theres a reason hes down the pecking order. Off field behaviour has a huge part to play

    Mixed feelings on Ashworth.

    Thought on the whole he was poor last season. However he was head and shoulders above others at Leigh and in the reserves and played well for us the year before so there is something there. I feel he bulked up to much and lost acceleration/agility.

    In regards to this can’t really comment until the case has been heard, hopefully it’s nothing.

    I feel it’s a bit premature for people to say they’d be happy to see him go. Especially with the likes of Amor, Scarsbrook coming to the end of their careers and Thompson leaving. Walmsley isn’t a young pup either.

    I think this is just about right. I would give him next year when he is probably going to have to play more games, but if he doesn't improve then bin him/ When I first read the article and said I hoped it was non event, I was thinking more of the club than him personally.

    Aye, possibly right to be fair. I've heard a few off field things about him but wouldn't want to speculate. I do think there's a good player and as you mentioned, I also feel he's carrying too much weight.

    Another thread that would get "busy" under normal circumstances.

    If guilty then likelyhood is he is gone especially if other Off field behaviour
    has been issue between him and the club.

    If not he has whatever is left of this season to earn another deal.
    Down to him really.

    Can't get too excited about this , interest and concern lies elsewhere at the moment.

    Is he a prop or is he a 2nd row? At the moment I think he is somewhere in between and needs to go one way or the other. 24 years old now and, in a pack about to go through a transitional period, we need him to start fulfilling his potential.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
