There will be plenty of positive stuff to come out of that. So there sounds like we will have a few extensions to announce to the current squad, he did also mention there is some space left with the cap not a massive amount but still there is some
Chambers is a very "sensible" head at the top. I think we are getting the sort of club most of us want.

I am pleased we have someone taking the longer term, strategic view and decisions on squad recruitment and retention. Leaving the coach to concentrate on performance and keeping Karl out of harms way.

In his favour, he is brave, confident, strong in defence and seems well organised with an eye for a pass and could be a really good foil for Williams. It still leaves us with no real long kicking game when we're looking to clear our lines when under pressure. From what I saw last season we have no-one with a decent long kick. That makes a difference in a tight game especially when someone like Harry Smith is in the opposition team.
Hope he does really well this year and becomes a local legend. Burgess & others obviously rate him very highly.
Should be a good contest as to who plays at scrum half. Not much between him & Leyland but I'm glad Hayes got the No7. shirt. From what I saw last year I thought Leyland kicked well & he's lively with ball in hand. Can't beat competition & back up within the squad.

We seem to be moving away from “short termism” and “quick fixism” which can only be a good thing. We finally seem to be bringing our own youngsters through in the sort of numbers that can actually make a difference, lets hope we reap the rewards.
Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

Apologies i didnt go back that far , just looked at the last couple of pages
There is a realistic chance as he's been touted with most clubs in the off season, and this is where the change to the rules mean that the player can secure their future much earlier now
