£170k for a squad player. Deary me

£42.5k per season sounds reasonable to me.

Great that's settled and we can draw a line under the speculation. As someone has already pointed out, hope Daryl Clark follows suit.

I hope so too I'm already looking forward to his televised confirmation speech Follow that Daz perhaps a reference to the Classics you know a bit of Homers Lliad now that Toby's bamboozled us and the TV audience with his mathematical genius

While it’s not worth mega money, his marker defence is absolutely outstanding. I’ve said this a few times over the years, but he has developed a really effective skill. He’s also a keen runner of the ball away from our like. These things don’t add £ to contracts, but they are the things players around you recognise.

The things he needs to practice are the finer elements, excellent centres, and I’m talking Lyon, Gleeson, Gidley, Gasnier et al, can get the ball flat footed, stand up defenders and MAKE a try alone. At present, he needs that half a yard to get his winger away. He’s not alone there, I can’t think of a centre who can do that in the game at the moment.

I can accept the odd mistake like the pass to Widdop instead of inside to Ratchford. Sometimes, when you have “too much” time, you can overthink them.

All good points. On pass selection I guess sometimes it’s based on who you hear call?

Regarding that pass to widdop he definitely took the harder option but if he had released it a little lower widdop would still have scored. It wasn't a bad option just poor execution from a player who usually gets those things right.

True also bear in mind, widdop is the man of the moment, more headlines putting him away for a try.

As we say it's a development thing
