I still think 2 years was too long of an extension to his contract. I believe giving Batchelor a 2 year deal and Ashurst 1 would have been better for Wakey. Recruitment is also about knowing when to let players go, not just who to bring in. I would have said thanks for being a great servant and moved on with batchelor pitts tanginoa, Walker and crowther fighting for 2nd row and Loose.
