I've fixed that for your George

The only compensation we will receive is not having to pay him for 3 months of recovery....unless he was just a couple of weeks away that is.

Fair point. Hooker is one position we seem to have an embarrassment of riches. In my defence I'm in my sickbed with a raging fever and infection so not thinking the straightest Ultimately, the most important thing is that the guy gets game time and I couldn't be happier that it is Newcastle that we have the DR set up with.

I 100% get that Gav and hope you're right. I still think he could be a cracking impact player coming off the bench though, and goodness only knows we have been missing someone capable of shaking things up in the two league games so far.

Bizarre

I see Taylor Pemberton has been named in the Newcastle Thunder squad for this weekend. Have I missed something or is his time with York up? Really liked what we saw of him last year thought he could only improve with a bit more game time. I guess it could be said that is what he is getting with Chris Thorman but I'd prefer to see him in a Knights shirt.

Barrow also hunting their first win so is looking a much bigger game than might have first appeared. Hopefully we'll have a few players back.

Myler's girlfriend's step-dad i mean, not the deal. Knock the M of and we might be closer

Worth £175M if the daily mail is to be believed

Tom Nicholson-Watton. Signed from Rhinos on a season long loan i think.

Simultaneous double-header. It's just this kind of innovative thinking that IMG are wanting.

Ah yes, I get what they mean now. Thank you. The whole thing still doesn't quite sit right with me though, and I think I will be giving the Whitehaven trip a swerve this year.

RIP Phil. An absolute legend at York where his inspiration and leadership gave us some wonderful memories. As honest a gent as they come.

Wonder where the club fine goes? If it's back into club coffers then that just smacks as a degree of 'compensation' whilst he's not playing. Surely better to be given to an appropriate charity.

I do understand what you mean. But, to me at least, it has felt like the ordinary fan is quite far down the list of priorities now. Corporate guests, media opportunities, sponsors and business partnerships all seem higher up the agenda. And maybe that is just the way it has to be now in this IMG world

TBF, she's not going to say he's been ######, is she But joking aside, I always admired Whiting as a player. Hard as nails, excelled in a multitude of positions, just a good old fashioned honest rugby league player, IMO. If he can pass on his attitude and approach to the game to the Valkyrie squad then they will only improve.

Every Single Word Is Spot On.

Like lightning now! Many thanks for all your efforts.

It's what happens when players are played routinely out of their best position.

For those of you that are fans of horror movies. Recommend watching our defensive efforts from behind the sofa.

Harrison has been solid as a rock every time he's played for us in the full back position. But he's not a centre. Why is it everyone in the ground but Hendo can see that?

Can he play at prop?

Yes, the time frame doesn't help. But York didn't have months either yet somehow got something done. Agree 100% that the whole cup structure is in no way weighted to help lower league clubs. But a club either rises up to challenge that disparity or just becomes a part of the narrative the RFL and SL are trying to write.
