As you say he has a bit of pace we are missing so much on that right edge but he is still a bit lightweight and needs to put on a few kilos.
Is he any better or likely to be any better than the two young wings we have coming through? I dont know

Hopefully Martin and Barron will get some game time this season.

Pleased with the three young lads, one thing I like about Jebson and Staveley is that they have some size and power, Gardiner lacks size but he has a big engine could see him being like Cator. Hopefully Armstrong will follow, but hear he might be going to Australia.

Good news about SKD, really glad we didn't sign him, good player but not want we needed right now.

Gardiner is 1.92m approx 6ft 4 in old money
by size do you mean weight? He looks like he could easily add 10 kilos to that frame

It's Jack Ashworth. I'd rather us stay clear

3rd player we are favourites to sign,think I'll wait until its announced.

Solid signing IMO, but like others still think we need to replace Swift, but have to get the pack sorted first.

i agree losing Swift would be a big blow and if he is on his way back to Lancs then we need to try and replace him like for like both in pace,power and experience otherwise trying to start a new season with 2 out of 3 young wings would be a disaster

If the rumours of what he’s like as a person I wouldn’t want us signing him. I’d have a no scumbag policy

I feel this is more an addition to the squad or replacement for McIntosh and to take the pressure off the lads coming through the system. Think if Swift does go back west at the end of the year then we will see a like for like replacement come in.
TS seems to be changing things and improving not just the key areas but the First Team squad as a whole.

Could this be this be another Stuart Reardon situation?

Jack Ashworth is the new name by Tomlinson. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed him but apparently an offer has been put forward.
