He has somethingĀ to prove to Knights fans if not himself. Playing behind our new big lads his ball handling could beĀ invaluable. Just a thought. i know what you,re thinking but i feel marcus stock offers more in that department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishknight Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Think we still need 4 or 5 backs and a couple more backrow forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yck2017 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 This is some signing a strong running pro with a good offload game and a good defence and with Matty Liam on his shoulder should see some trys scored next season ,(wonder if we have a shirt big enough?)

Fax Knight Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Matongo and Pauli Pauli - weāre certainly adding some size!! Have we ever had a player as large as Pauli Pauli? I wonder how the likes of Trevor Hooper would look like next to him? Sorry, but itās a ānoā to me on Cuthbertson. His knee/knees are shot and he should call it a day and free up a squad number. Only way Iād change this view is if heās working for the club in a different capacity and his registration costs very little then Iād keep him in case of emergencies. Whose next Fordy? Taumalolo and Fisher-Harris would do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on loan to us the back part of that season from Cas.He was massive and only came on the last quarter of every game as a prop.He scored a few tries for us by just walking and belly flopping over the try line from a couple of metres out,nobody got in his way.His shirt never fitted him and finished at his belly button. I saw him a few seasons later playing for Bramley against us and he had lost loads of weight.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fax Knight Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Some great names. One or two before my time. I do remember big George. He looked like he should have been jumping off a Viking long boat and ransacking a few monasteries.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in interview Chris says he learned a lot last season about his new role so we'll see. Captain fantastic was a hard act to follow.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
