He's been a very good player for us, probably one of the best value for money signings in a long time. He does turn 32 this year though and seems to have picked up more injuries and suffered from more indifferent form in recent seasons. I'm a bit unsure about the two year deal to be honest.
As am I to be honest.
Tanginoa killed it at SR when he came and got numerous MOTM performances. Seems with Pitts and Ashurst signed up that he’s been pushed into a permemant prop role. He does a decent job at prop don’t get me wrong but the guy was a beast in the SR.
I’m kind of concerned about the average age of our pack and team.
There’s a lot of 30+ players in there. Arona, Fifita, Pitts, Ashurst, Battye (shortly). These players are likely only a year or two away from retirement from professional rugby. I was hoping to see us refresh the squad a bit but we’ve just signed another 30+ player in Gaskell And rumoured Sidlow and it’s turning into a bit of a dads army camp.
I guess we will have to wait and see how recruitment pans out.
I will support the team as always and Ashurst has been a great player for us. Hopefully he’s got plenty left to give.
