Fax Knight Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Interesting. We have three specialist wingers, plus Stock (who actually has the No 2 shirt doesn’t he?), plus young Towse. Looks like someone will be on their way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishknight Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Next years squad will be totally different to this years, can't see a lot of the older players being kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fax Knight Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yeah, apologies, I always get Stock and Bass the wrong way round - must be my age...but as Spanish Knight says a lot of players won’t be around what with retirement and Kear, for one, sniffing around.

yck2017 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A good signing by Fordy as Kear wanted to keep him and a few other championship side were in the frame he can play full back wing and in the halfs just hope he see's some ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Scott is one of the players that Kears interested in signing, it said in one of the papers that he has signed for them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonT Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Young, full of potential, already demonstrated he can perform well at this level. If you're reading this James and Jon, more of the same please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of a few maybe which is usual at the end of the season. I just hope, like Fordy said the other day, we've had our share of bad luck with injuries this year and it's a lot better in that respect next season.

To be honest i wouldn't sign any of the them,need to sign younger championship players who know the division with maybe a a couple of experienced players like Horne and Benny .Would like to see Marsh,Morgan Smith,Jubb and Brinning all sign contracts for next season and build the team around them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB Knight Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I’d keep Kirmond purely because apart from the first 5 or 6 games he’s consistently played at a good standard and I think he can still do a job at this level. Players like Teanby and Whiteley on their day are very good at this level they both just lack consistency. I’m sure no one is more frustrated than them. Same with Kieran Dixon, great going forward just seems to struggle with positioning and I feel more teams will simply have their big players run at him. Jury still out on those 3 for me. Teams like Batley and Sheffield seem to get it right. You’ve got a guy like Dale Morton at Batley who’s played super league so has that experience but also has nearly 250 appearances at championship level and is still only 30. But then I’m not the coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige Arro Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'd keep all the lads that have been with us since 2019, they are the lads that perform week in week out, get rid of all those ' big names' that came this year (except kirmond and tyme) I think they've all been rubbish. Try to keep McDonnell and Johnson as a good start to next year's squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fax Knight Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Green is definitely retiring. I’d wager Cuthbertson, Spears and Washbrook are definites. Kirmond, Jones-Bishop and Atkins are possibles. Maybe Dixon might call it a day? Maybe Brining’s sick of getting injured? Also with Scott and possibly Baldwinson going to Bradford there’s a fair bit of recruiting to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see how many 35’s and over we have in the squad (5) that’s potentially a lot of recruiting to be done to replace them. On top of that others who choose to move on, leaves you looking to replace half the team. There are lessons to be learned from last years recruitment policy and I think we’ll be that bit wiser this time around. So get your Squadbuilder donations in and get ready for the journey that will be 2022. Beer and York Knights. Proof the God loves us and wants us to be happy.

AB Knight Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I can’t see Kieran Dixon calling it a day, he’s only just turned 29 and apart from COVID he’s relatively injury free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
