I would hate to see him go. Always gives 100%. Even if it does sometimes end up in a brain fart.
Plus, im sure all his kids have been born up here and isnt his Mrs from up here as well?
As an avid viewer of location location location and knowing Louie has at least three kids, relocating would cost a fortune. One year deal and his testimonial extended due to Covid. Last 4 years he has been good and solid. Before that he was lucky we kept him to be honest.
He was a bit of a late bloomer for me Louie.
About 4 seasons ago he coud have left for me and I probably woud have chipped in for his fare.
I have to say for the last few seasons he has been very good value certainly improved with age. He works hard and you can tell from the outside that he is good for the team camaraderie as well. Plays the game with a smile on his face ad winds up the opposition in the process.
I always thought that dominant clubs let players go not when they have gone past their peak but prior to them reaching that stage. Im sure he could do a job for a year or so more but if we get a replacement that is younger and yet to peak that is the way to stay at the top for me.
Obviously we are/were still early in the season but I’m not sure we should be letting him go voluntarily. He’s still contributing a lot in my opinion and is arguably in the best form of his career. If we lost Thompson, Taia, McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Amor in the space of one off-season, I think that’s too much quality and experience to let be letting go and trying to replace at one time. Signing three front rowers in one go would be tough. I’m not sold on Ashworth yet either in terms of front row options.

Ashworth is off to Cas too it seems. And I've not read anywhere that Peyroux has signed a new deal yet either? Could be six forwards leave in one off season.
Not bothering to sign anyone for this season seems a rather foolish move now. We could end up with some real dross on multi-year contracts through nothing other than having no other viable options.
Has Ashworth not being able to get in your side much ,he looked a decent prospect to me when I first remember seeing him
Ashworth blows very hot and cold. Seems to be a bit of a flat track bully who plays well against weaker sides but goes missing sometimes in big games especially when we're under pressure. There's talent there but consistency should be more regular in his game now he's hitting his mid twenties. He seems to have fell out of favour under Woolf so could be some truth in him leaving.

Just seen the big fella out for his morning run, he looked in great condition to be fair to him.
Id take ashworth over amor. Plus we have alot of outgoing this year so we need to retain
I think we were looking at Joe Greenwood in a similar way, a big unit but lacking in aggression and performance consistency. This season should be the defining year for Jack, you could say we are desperate for him to succeed because he adds size to the pack, but the likes of Bentley and Knowles are much "bigger players".
In all honesty I don't think we'll see that and I get the feeling we'll cut our loses. It's not like he's a kid anymore and he just hasn't kicked on as expected. At one point I thought he'd be the better player out of him and Lees but even after his injury Lees is well ahead now.
Only thing from him that stands out for me is him giving Tomkins a bit of biff against Catalans last season.
Other than that, nothing to write home about.
According to his 'mate' BOB , he's going nowhere .
