Yet another in a long line of players that the club supposedly treated badly and was definitely leaving only to stay,

That aside he earned that 2-year deal, had a great season.

Thought he had signed for Newcastle according to those in the know on here and other social media sources!

Great news

So just Hampshire now?

Just seen that.
Really good signing.

Because
1) he's a good player who is improving every game
2) he's well liked by fans and gives his all every game
3) we need cover on the wing. I think he'll play a lot of games next year.

Seemed to be nailed on a few months ago, I guess it really shows to not take anything as gospel until it’s announced by the club/player.

Fingers crossed the latter is due to his performances and hard work in training, not the fact TJ/TL are injured or suspended

[code[/code

But you know its going to happen though....

On point 3 I suppose the nature of his injury may impact on that depending upon the current prognosis

To be fair he deserves it really as impressed and kicked on this year dont understand why 2 year though when hes outfor next 9 month with acl

You can't wait for him to get fit and then start the contract, what is he meant to live on? Ditto the other way around . He will probably be available around May time, so one year won't be enough.

Most likely he would have got a one-year deal but the injury saw to that, so the club has probably (a guess) spread that contract out over two years with a bit of padding to make it work. This way we will get more like a season and a half out of him at little more expense.

He's also got has van driving job to help out his finances

Im not having ago like i say has improved and deserves his contract but will he lose some of his altetisim which is is main asset time will tell do hopw he comes through stronger for it though.as a fan its just a bit worrying how many of our outside backs are going to be fit every week and in TL case free from suspension.if your to be honest TJ BT Cant be relied on and to a lesser extent MJ and LG miss afair few games through injury too

No just speak truth i support the club and dont think players should be jept in sentiment alone..think its fair yo say BT, TJ MJ and LG where no 1 choices for there teams last season they played between them 35 out of a possible 96.noe where a club on limited cash we need players who play.add to this we have LK and JC ciming back from major injuries.but cos im a pesamistc just to please you ill jeep me gob shut.

You don’t speak the truth, you voice an opinion!

Which is usually wrong !

Bet they don’t pipe up now!

But you don't, your 95% wrong, time and time again you're blown out of the water but in your defence you are consistent.

I'm really pleased that Kershaw is staying.
Certainly one of our most exciting players with ball in hand.

If he can improve again next season, we will have a fine player on our books !

He's a perfect foil to TJ. TJ is a classic winger and although he can create wonderful tries for himself his real value is as a deadly finisher who rarely bombs a chance.

Kershaw is the opposite, he's not a natural predator and doesn't always score the sitters and I don't think he ever will, though he's still got a decent success rate. But if you want a dynamic all-action player who sucks the energy out of the opposition then Kershaw is it, his work rate and resilience are astonishing.

TJ is not at risk from Kershaw because they are so different but I don't think it's a walk-in for Lineham, he's the one whose place Kershaw will be chasing IMHO.

The guy I'm hoping will be making TJ nervous in the next year or so is young Murphy, who is a TJ clone in some ways.

You can't sign someone for half a season.
He's either signed or he isn't.

Luppy seems to have a completely different concept of what a contact is to almost everyone in Christendom. Bizarre.

You can if they sign mid season


Rugby league contracts run from 1st December to 30th November so if Wakey wanted to ensure kersh was at Wakey in 2022 he had to be signed from 1/12/21



As for speaking up about kersh signing for Newcastle, I will. I was one that did state he was on his way, which he most definitely was, until trinity came in with a revised offer, probably the threat of lapsed season tickets and cancellation of 1873 from fans across social media platforms spurred on the financial decision to try keep him, but I'm sure Jose knows this, I'm pretty sure he has very good contacts at the club

Do you it’s anything to do with a terrific burst of form or a different coach? Just wondering.

Of course you can start a contract at any point. What generally doesn’t happen is that a players contract expires with his parent then both parties leave a six month gap before signing a new deal. That’s the crux here.
