A total of 27 players have been signed, club are teasing us announcing them over the next month. Expect it to be 5/6 academy lads, 9/10 re-signings and 10-12 new lads. Supposedly still looking at another 2 possibles. Exciting year ahead with guys on the Full80 expecting us to be in top 3, I'd be happy if we were pushing for playoffs this year.

Hopefully we'll hear from the club soon, looks like the players will be announced at an event with fans invited...no details yet. There are rumours of exciting players including current SL players....fun times ahead

With Covid we won't be at St James in 2021 but will have the Friday night with York the visitors....should be a good curtain raiser to the Magic Weekend

The full 28 man squad for the 2021 season. Jay Chapelhow, Harry Aldous, Connor Bailey, Bob Beswick, Joe Brown, Ted Chapelhow, Rhys Clarke, Alex Clegg, Reece Dean, Alex Donaghy, Kieran Gill, Ollie Gowing, Evan Hodgson, Kieran Hudson, Jack Johnson, Samy Kibula, Liam McAvoy, Colton Roche, Jake Shorrocks, Evan Simons, Cian Tyrer, Calum Turner, Nathan Wilde, Sam Wilde, Mikey Wood, Josh Woods, Matty Wright & Lewis Young. Not a squad assembled just to survive, one to have a go and challenge a few teams. Hopefully we'll be able to see them at KP.

Agree that staying in the league is the number 1 priority and probably all that can be achieved with the current squad. But been hearing rumours of some quality players have been lined up for a few weeks and ready to sign once the Champ position granted. Fingers crossed the rumours come true.

Hogan was on Radio Newcastle saying that expecting 3 to 4 new signings to come in following promotion. I expect these players to bring Champ Super League experience to the team and ensure that we have a good season well away from the relegation zone.
