If I read the press as a whole I'd subscribe like I do for other things, but I don't, so to me it would be a waste of money. I just saw the link posted on here and thought I'd see what was said. I'll survive without seeing it.

Would anybody like to put on here what the article says, please? I'm too tight to pay for York Press subs

So, keeping all these fringe players happy isn't going to be easy. We obviously have dual reg with Newcastle Thunder in place already, but is now the time to put a reserve team in place? I appreciate that it would need financing and an even bigger squad but the fringe players need to be battle hardened and ready to play if called upon. Or are we simply sending them to our other partners, Penrith, for a 2 week loan?! Thoughts?

As a York fan I would say that the signing of Tawera Nikau, back in the Ryedale York days, would have to be right up there as one of the best. Privileged to have seen him play in a York shirt.

"If you don't show up, you get thumped !" Absolutely spot on. We just need to make sure we look after our own game, keep on the right side of the ref and don't give him any reason to ping us for owt. This squad of ours is learning to be ruthless and we need to make sure we're like that EVERY game.

I wouldn't have thought so. I think it's just the league games that are streamed.

We just need to make sure that we give him owt to ping us for and we'll be reet.

Well, what a season so far!! We normally just have a boat load on injuries holding us back. This season we seem to have all the usual injuries AND coaches and players deserting us like no tomorrow!! Something seems very wrong to me.

Another performance where we give the referee no reason to penalise us, like last Sunday, will do for me.

I could see it happening.

We were the masters of our own downfall yesterday. Silly, basic handling errors, early in the tackle count and mainly near our own line proved costly in the end. Couldn't fault the application in defence but we don't half make life hard for ourselves. How did we, as a team, lose so much confidence so quickly?

I reckon Cook starts at 7.

Great work, as ever Andy. Look forward to hopefully hearing more of this kind of content during the season.

Brave effort from the Knights last night and in the end, fitness and class told. We had a good dig for 25 mins or so, then it fell apart a bit, with half time coming just when we needed it. Second half, we looked tired, which possibly contributed to lots of unforced errors. I imagine Mash will be a little bit disappointed with people rushing out of the defensive line and missing tackles last night. Full credit to KR though, they were big, strong and quick all night long and showed just how good a side they are. Good luck to them for the rest of the cup and the Super League season. Now for the Knights to get stuck into the Championship season. Every game will be a hard game but I think if we build on where we've started the season, we should be in the mix for a good run at the playoffs. UP THE KNEETS!!!

Spot on, unfortunately

Again Expat, I agree with everything you've said. Sometimes I think Clint can sometimes be a bit blunt and maybe comes across as arrogant but he quite clearly loves the game and loves York. He seems very clear about where he wants to take the club as a whole and is clear that it will take time to build. I just hope that more and more people get on board for the ride.

Great interview that. I have to say, I agree with everything Clint says in that interview regarding the game in this country.

Don't think he's coming now.

Love them both, so will be buying both. Does anyone know if they are "fitted" around the midriff, like the Oxen shirts? Just so I can order the correct size and allow for my not so toned stomach!!! Also i'm looking forward to seeing the training gear too.

If I remember correctly, Clint did say at the fans forum that we would dual reg "down", so I cant see us partnering with a Super League club.

I don't think it's about having 5 hookers, I think it's about being flexible in the halves/hooking roles. We've lost Jubby, Nikau & Josh, so we've replaced them and now we have Harris, Ata, Cooky, Pembo, McShane & Jaques all capable of filling these roles. Paul McShane is a bit of a hybrid role as a coach too, so i'm happy enough with how we look there.

As a club, we now need to jump on this opportunity and make sure we stay at the front of the queue. We DO have massive potential but there will be lots of hard work needed to improve in all areas of the IMG points scoring areas. I believe it's an exciting time for the club but NOW is the time to capitalise.

I for one wish Hendo well, whatever he goes on to do next. It didn't work out at York, partly through factors beyond his control but that's life. He never hid behind any excuses and never ducked any interviews etc. He was a great bloke to chat to and always had time for fans. It would be a shame if he has been treated poorly by the club but it wouldn't surprise me entirely if he had been.

Have you spoken to Levi recently Andy? Just wondering how confident he felt regarding a full return after what has been an horrendous couple of years for him.

Was "Del Boy" with them? Saw him sat behind the sticks in amongst the Fev fans during the match.
