“Both had decent seasons last year and we decided early on that we wanted to retain their services. Jack is developing really well as a young front rower with a terrific attitude to training and playing.

“Liam is established at this level, and has been an integral part of the Hunslet team for a few seasons now. He has terrific leadership qualities too, and will be an important and integral part of what we want to achieve next season.”
