Again good signing - welcome back Alex - exciting times.

Roll on next season

Newcastle (Kingston Park) showing game in the Tap and Tackle bar.

Just caught up on this thread, I was involved with Sunderland City and we were the oldest and longest running team in the North-East. Unfortunately we had to disband through lack of commitment from some players and having to rely on Union players to make up the numbers, plus due to the age of the people running the team it eventually ended up with one chap doing all of the organising. When the team was first formed and for many years after we played in the York Sunday league and although we struggled at times with player numbers we for-filled all fixtures and the players we had only played League. Unfortunately when that League disappeared we struggled for fixtures until a North-East league was formed. and games moved to the summer, then some of our players went to play Union during the Winter and because the seasons overlapped we ended with few players for the start of our season. The Rockets are doing a wonderful job, and by developing the sport at junior level (which in my opinion is the right way forward) hopefully Rugby League will become their first choice sport and maybe then proceed to play Open age rugby.

Congratulations to all the winners at championship awards especially the NewcastleThunder foundation and Lewis Young on your achievements it's good to see Rugby League progressing in the North-East (Well done to everyone involved.) Also all at Hull KR your success is richly deserved.

Congratulations to the Thunder foundation and Lewis Young on your success at the championship awards. It's good to see Rugby League progressing in the North-East. Well done to everyone involved.

It's good to be a supporter - thanks to all boardroom, players, backroom staff and coaches now let's get promoted.

Good to get the win onward and upward (Rugby Leagues) the winner.

Agree mistakes and discipline. If we improve both we are a decent side. Good to see we are retaining some of our better players for next season.

Well done Thunder on you win at Oxford keep this up and you'll make the play offs, thanks for making us fans very happy. Good to see Jason coaching a true Thunder icon - good luck Jason hope you get all you desire.

Peter you are never negative, if Jason can cut out the errors and penalties given away we have a chance of advancing the one thing for sure is he will give 100% and that will do me. Hope the players respond.

As an expansionist I'm following this thread with interest. The one thing I know is if you don't move forward you go backwards - so I hope Toronto succeed and our game gets the attention it deserves.

I agree see you at the game hope there is a good turn out for him. Would love to se Painey get a testimonial

Very good result, our team looks stronger than last year. I Was impressed by the defence and this is what wins games. If we carry on like this we should have a good season. Well done THUNDER
