Great that BOH has resigned for next season like others have said he his a class act and have 4 great half backs for next season if you include Marshy,disappointed Nikau is leaving the knights would have been a good option in the forwards for the us.

Can I ask how you know Nikou is leaving us.

He would be a good asset to the team

Understand Nikau is going down under, it may just be a holiday to see his family, remember they were coming over here for the world cup his father was in the disability competition.

That's a shame.I saw a lot of potential in him and thought another season with him in the team would be a big positive for both parties

You never know we may have another three quarter lined up, we have 22 signed on I'd say another 2 or 3 to come in.

We might use Ellis as a loose forward if you think we might have another three quarter lined up.We need Jason Bass to sign as a utility back now

5 forwards retired or left the club , only 3 replacements so far, another couple of  new faces to look forward to ?.

Fordy on radio York saying he's  looking at bringing in one or two more.

Jack's signed for next season.

[Fax Knight]

Seems a decent signing, but I believe we still need more forwards.  Wafer-thin cover at present if anyone gets injured - we’ve got three hookers, but only four props and, what, four seasoned second rows/loose forwards and a young lad. Unless I’ve missed someone?? And, sorry, great player though he once was, I don’t want to see one-legged Cuthbertson as another forward. Here’s hoping.

We have 12 forwards signed for next season, 3 hookers, 4 props and 5 backrow forwards.

[georgeb1]

of the back row forwards , stock, kirmond and clarkson have all featured at prop before so a pretty versatile pack.

Who are the four props? Dixon, Teanby, Matongo and ? The intention, I believe, is to play Pauli in the back row.

Is that hoping or hopping

 

Been looking at the "ins & outs" of each team

No mention of Cuthbertson or Dixon yours??

We had two Dixons last season, Ronan a prop who's  re-signed and keiran a winger who has not.

It's not ideal playing back row forwards has props. Most match day squads have four props in them, so we need one more, plus Mr Ford says he wants to sign one

A lot of teams have 6 props, 2 starting, 2 on the bench and 2 more either resting, injured or suspended.

[Silverlight]

Another Knights player whose future remains unresolved is Salter. With the number of centers signed it looks increasingly unlikely that he will be retained.

Stock seemed to come on mostly as an interchange prop last season if my memory serves me right.

B.J.B. signs for Sheffield, that's a bit of money saved and I think we have better for next season.

"we will not remember you" 

And him going to Sheffield

No real surprise not been retained,poor first half of the season and another year older.

[JonT]

To be fair, BJB got better and faster as the season went on. To me, it looked like he was carrying an injury for much of the early campaign. 

He certainly looked sharp for Jamaica the other week.

Good luck to the fella.

[Fax Knight]

Indeed good luck to him. He always seemed to try, but to me he never seemed much of a threat with ball in hand for a big winger. Seldom broke the line and he doesn’t really have a step. But then we’re hardly the greatest team at creating space for wingers. Him and Dixon didn’t get much quality ball last year thanks to our turgid game plan. Let’s hope this season is different.
