Rooney's Ears

York City Knights are delighted to confirm the signing of Masi Matongo from Hull FC on a one-year deal for 2022, in association with Atropa Pharmacy. 25-year-old Matongo has made over fifty Betfred Super League appearances for the Airlie Birds since making his debut for the club in 2015 against Wigan Warriors. Three years later, in 2018, the Zimbabwean-born prop was named in the England Knights performance squad as well as in the following year.

New signing at 4pm

Did he leave because he was upset at signing the wrong Morgan? https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/featherstone-rovers-make-signing-error-44476/

Hard luck Fev, i had you down for a win, had a couple of bets on for a Fev win. Everything stacked against you guys, travelling etc. but you did yourself proud. Dust off and wait for another exciting season next year. All the best.

Would this be the same for Bradfords application? If they put Odsal as their ground they need to resubmit with Dewsbury's ground as they played there last? hope so.

Now postponed.

All football postponed until at least April 3rd. Will the Rugby be affected next?

Wonder what the reason was why we never went for the season long loan for Will? Tried and tested at York.

Bradford have given a new deal to winger David Foggin-Johnston for the 2020 season

Marcus Stock by the sounds of it.

6pm signing announcement.

York in pursuit of winger York City Knights coach James Ford is looking to bolster his backline options after confirming the departure of Ash Robson and Matt Chilton. Robson’s contract was terminated by mutual consent, while Chilton has left due to work commitments. Among the options for their replacements are Hull KR winger Will Oakes, who played 14 times for the Knights last year. He is, however, expected to sign on loan for Bradford as part of Rovers’ deal to sign five Bulls players. KR winger Elliot Wallis is also available on a season-long loan and could be a useful option.

Signing at 6pm. Lets hope for Liam Salter.

Bradford Bulls have started their re-build ahead of 2020 after retaining Ross Oakes on a two-year deal. The centre made 23 appearances last season, scoring nine tries, and is part of the alumni to emerge from the club’s Academy system. “I’m delighted to have signed a full-time contract for the next two years, with it being my hometown club. Why are they still trying to be a full time club?

Not looking good for the Bulls - Hull Kingston Rovers have completed a deal to bring FIVE Bradford Bulls players to the club. Hull Live has reported the Bulls have completed the signings of young duo Matty Storton and Rowan Milnes. However, TotalRL understands Joe Keyes and Elliot Minchella have also joined the club, while a forward from the club’s Academy will also arrive at KCOM Craven Park. We will probs see them playing for Dewsbury next season (DR with KR)

Can't see him in the list on the previous page?

What about Liam Salter?
