You are thinking of Gary Hambly. He was the first aussie that we signed. He had a big bushy beard and wore tights. Mick Marketo was the prop we signed from Brisbane. He scared the opposition to death and if I remember he outplayed the pack at Leeds and scored a try against them. Rob Pethybridge was one of the best fullbacks we have had. His link up play and the way he could catch the high ball was great to watch. It was a shame we were relegated that season. I think it was the best team we had had for a long time in what is now the super league

Very sad day for Rugby League after 28 years of struggling the Skolars are going into the amateur ranks, hopefully this is a temporary set back but I fear the worst.
Rugby League for far too long has been parochial in it’s outlook, the so called big teams are only interested in themselves, a lot of supporters are so narrow minded that they cannot see the game outside the M62 corridor. I am sick of hearing all the negatives surrounding teams outside the heartlands people whining about how far they have to travel when they play teams south of Sheffield. Come into the real world or this great game of ours will die, more through apathy than anything else. When I lived down under it was a 1000 km trip each way to a lot of away games, that is just the way it is, here the supporters moan if they have to go a tenth of that. Teams like the Skolars were doing it every other week not once a season, we should be encouraging them and embracing them into our family not revelling in the fact yet another expansion club is being lost from the pro game.The RFL as a whole needs to take a long hard look at itself. I know IMG are coming in but I suspect they are only going to be interested in the top tier, I hope I am wrong.
Unfortunately I don't think you are wrong

Come back Peter Martini, Mike Hope or Jackie Wood! They were the days! They even new their rugby!
Who remembered Martin Lacey in the 80s. He was a big guy and often played in the reserves aswell

Thanks York Press for your pre match coverage of the Bradford game. Nothing at all mentioned on line about the game at all .

Okay guys, you carry on getting outraged over things that have zero affect on your lives whatsoever.
I'll be outside touching grass.
It sounds more like you are touching cloth

Where's the lie please?
17 of the 21 man squad named, plays. York would lose a substitution for the game otherwise.
Stop being so melodramatic.
Get over yourself you clown. People have a right to an opinion, but you just seem to think what you say is right. This is an open forum site where we can give our opinions believe it or not .Get over yourself

We all know that doesn’t mean anything. How many times this season have players who aren't fit been listed in the 21

The big question is how many will we see as York players next season?
Who and how many are signed on for next season?

I don't see Fordy as a potential super league coach though at this time. It's just another temporary appointment by Featherstone for me.

Yeah I heard at Sheffield away game in June that Marsh was leaving aswell.Brown is doing a very good job at full back at the moment However personally I would prefer hendo to bring his own player in also think he sees Harrison as more as a centre/winger than he does full back
I think it would be a bad decision to let Marshy go personally unless it is his personal decision.He has alot to give us in the team

Missed conversations cost us the game
It's easy to blame the goal kicker. Overall I think St Helens had the edge and experience told at the end of the day. Hopefully the ladies will learn from the game and move on. Let's win the championship now.

Brendan O'Hagan?
Hope not. We need someone who can actually play

I spoke to Matty Marsh yesterday. He is having surgery today, then will have a cast on for about 8 weeks. We'll be lucky to see him in a Knights shirt again this season. Let's hope he hasn't played his last game for the Knights.
I think he signed a 2 year contract

Lot of talk about next year already, who is signed on for 2024 already, and which names would people like to see pulling on a Knights shirt next year ( realistic ones )!
There are a few on multi year deals.l would like to see Liam Harris sign again and our aussie friends

No Harrison. Can't see why he would be dropped after last week. I can only think he is injured
-
The one player I would love to sign again next season is Josh. He has the versatility that we need , and in a difficult season he has stood out

Always thought Bassy was a good utility squad player. It does seem a strange arrangement though.

I'd rather she asked Clint what was happening to the club.
More and more supporters are asking this now. If he hasn't picked up on thus now I don't think he ever will

Although St John's college might have good facilities. The injuries over the last few seasons have been massively disremmentfull to the team and maybe its Time to pull away from some of their training facilities. The training surface seems to be causing the bulk of there injures .Something needs to change for next season as we can't carry on like this. The more this carries on the less we can move on as a club

Great thinking loaning a player out to a rival club in the same division. He could positively impact results in Swinton’s favour that could negatively impact Yorks’ final league position. Loan him to a Championship 1 club if the point is to get him fit. I also see the ‘returning players’ BS is alive and well. Plus no Cunningham. That was a great cameo comeback. What’s happened to him? Does that mean we might get a fleeting glimpse of Hingano? Sick of being lied to by the club. Give us some ###### truth for once.
I have to agree.Its becoming irritating to put it politely how the club now treat the fans.Personally I think the owner us up his own

True.I don't want us to go down the duel reg route for anymore players,but if we were thinking of that then why don't we think outside the box and link up with an Australian club for example.

If Jamie Ellis is in the squad that would say to me that our half backs aren't ready for the start of the season.

Injuries already
in York Knights

Really enjoyed the interview with the coach. He mentioned about signing a winger. Do you think A J might come back on loan ?
