Well, if this is true then I for one think it's a great signing

TBH I don't know too much about him (except for Wikipedia) so I will hold my opinion until I actually see him play in a Leigh Shirt.

Cmon Frederick , have we actually signed Matty Ashurst ?Or is it just Hear say , Rumours , or a Salfordlad tale ?You know I deal only in Facts .

.

This I think will be a great signing if true

If true, then you've got yourself a real good player. Serious grafter, very professional and scores tries too. He's been a fantastic squad player for us (As in he's played second fiddle to others) always done more than asked when he's played. Would strengthen most teams.

Not seen anything official in print so until I film it or read it through official channels ................

I'll be disappointed if he leaves. Whilst he isn't first choice behind Hock and Hansen, he naturally still gets plenty of game time and has been great for us this season. As I put on the Salford board, with respects to Leigh he is much better than the Championship. If it happens got yourself a cracking signing.

Salford also have the lad from cas joining them so this could well be true

Looks like we are active and the agents are trying to get prices up in bidding wars

At least it makes a change from the Jamie Ellis rumors........

I d love to see Jamie back at leigh

Judging by the league table, so are Leigh!

Besides...not beyond the bounds of possibility that Leigh and Salford will be playing each other in the back half of next season....so unless you think he is a Top 8 player (and if so why is he at Salford and not even first choice?), it's not that much of step down. In fact in terms of hardcore fanbase I would argue its at least horizontal.

Has anybody else spotted the irony that on this post people are singing the praises of someone we haven't officially signed whilst elsewhere, on another post, debate and opinion rages on about someone we have signed

No .

This is Leigh moaning is what we do best (

The people moaning about Ben Jeffries are probably the same people who didn't want Rowley as coach a couple of years ago and are now singing his praises. It's funny how things change.

At the end of the day none of us have seen Jeffries for 2 years and he wouldn't have been signed without doing some homework. We need someone like him to create competition and also to teach Brierley (if he stays), because I think Ryan still have a lot of developing to do.

Give the guy a chance, he hasn't even pulled on a shirt yet. His age is irrelevant to me, he's obviously kept fit and with 2 years to heal all his niggles from SL I'm sure he'll be raring to go when he starts.

You mean the Championship league table, right?

It is a step down, because instead of playing Wigan, Warrington, Leeds, Saints and alongside the likes of Hock, Chase, Locke, BJB etc he’ll be going to Fev, Doncaster and Swinton.

Anyone from your end heard anything re this?

I think you're mixing up the words 'playing' with 'getting hammered by' and 'going to' with 'hammering'

Salford have a far better team next year, they will be top six imo

Decent game for Scumford tonight. Should do well for us next season.

Salford looked OK in the forwards but I'd rather have Hankinson than Tomkins at centre. Nearly there for Salford but Leeds are better than they were tonight. and I won't mention stand offs.

Charlie was at the Salford game last night , I thought Salford did OK , I spoke to Marwan before the game , a very interesting chat , and bumped into Ryan Brierley

who said he was fit and raring to go at Spotland tomorrow .

I thought i saw a pair of clowns shoes protruding from the good doctors backside.

Confirmed he'll play at Wakey next season
