Confirmation on the YEP that Blake Austin has a deal for 2023

Re: Extension | Blake Austin - Expires: 2023 : Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:59 am  

Sounds more like it was 2 years when he signed with the option for either party to pull out, rather than an extension.

With the halves staying the same hopefully funds for front row/centre are freed up with Thompson, Dwyer, Broadbent, Briscoe and Mellor going. Next to announce some strong recruitment...

Hope he’s cheap for your sake! Very meh player, only showed up about every 3/4 weeks for us.

He’s actually going ok for us IMO, he seems to be more of a ‘leader’ than i thought he would be

If Hardaker and Martin stay I would rather see the salary cap from the 5 players above spent on 2 top metre making forwards.
I think we are sufficiently covered elsewhere!

The article and quotes were very open ended weren't they.

Nothing confirmed solid by the club yet either. Perhaps Austin has a deal in his favour and is yet to decide if he's taking it or not

I'm not sure. But the article was all over the shop. By that i mean Hetheringtons quotes.
