Ashton has developed beyond being a speed merchant, but I really hope that we get the recovery right and don’t rush this. This season is done for him, so let’s not try and force a pre season into him for early round fixtures.


We’ll miss the way he carries the ball off our line. Lindop the likely candidate to fill in, good chance for him to put his hand up and get 15 games under his belt and audition for the right centre spot, assuming Tai is going. 


The knock on effect is that Jake Thewlis can’t really go back to Salford with our backline being so depleted. At least until Wrench is back ready for first team, given King is carrying multiple knocks. Jake T will get a chance this week, and likely Cas too, but then on will likely be back to the reserves.

Shame it will make no odds to us getting into the play-offs….even if sign all the Kangaroos. Also regarding Charnley - Abe said there was no truth in us even attempting to sign him so not sure that the KFP pursuit of him is true.

There is probably more truth in what Abe said, the person who told me also said that King was out for the CC final haha. But in the past he's told me a lot of things that were right so i thought it was worth a little post to see if anyone had heard anymore.  

For accuracy, there was a call between Warrington & Leigh about the availability of any outside backs for loan signings following on from Lindops injury. The same as with a few other clubs. Charnley was mentioned, as were other players. Nothing came of it. One of the rugby league websites then reported that a SL club had made an attempt to sign Charnley on loan which they suggested was Warrington. It was Salford. 

Interesting times now the quota has been increased to 10 players, although I'm not sure what the quality of players being signed will be like with no increase to the salary cap.

IMO the salary cap is holding the game back
