TrueBull Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Right then, you guys need to be giving a bit more knowledge about this. With Full time status, next years squad should be quite exciting. I've already heard a rumour that you've got one of our current squad for next year.

The Phantom Horseman Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Parata, Day and Minns rumoured from Fev. It would seem your owner is splashing the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 First time poster here but got a season ticket at Thunder for the season gone. It looks as though going full time is going to mean a fairly big change in the team and also staff. There's been quite a few announcing as leaving on Twitter. Hopefully we'll start to see signings being announced soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunder pete Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yeah, it was e really good night. It started with an excellent turnout, the room was full. I think there was a bit of disappointment in the air when the signings were revealed, amongst the fans, who expected Walmsley, Tomkins, Morgan Knowles and Arthur Mourgue. But the lads spoke well, outlining their Championship and Super League experience and seemed genuinely excited by the prospect of Kingston Park's facilities, the vision and ambition of Eamon, Denis, and the club. They are moving up here to live, and have signed 2-year contracts. Brad Day seemed like an excellent bloke, keen to help us get into Super League, as did Thomas Minns, who also showed a fine sense of humour, who would be a great asset in the changing room. Craig Mullen is younger, but also dead keen to move up here and start playing for Newcastle Thunder. Eamon explained that full-time is all he has ever known, and our new full-time status will help him greatly in the amount and quality of training he can lead, and will enable the proper team bonding and spirit that isn't possible if lads have to make 300-mile round trips just twice a week to train. Young Jake was a bit shy, but the way the lads talked and joked obviously included him, and it was evident that these are fine young men, eager to help the club reach new heights. A constant theme was the Academy, which everybody, especially Eamon and Denis, valued very highly, as a reason for their being here. There was a presentation of the Squadbuilder scheme, which in the future will be aimed at helping the Academy, and people were invited to join the scheme. Denis Betts outlined his vision for the club, and was hugely impressive. Many of us were ready to go into battle with him as our leader. We were told that there are many more signings to be announced over the next few weeks, with only a couple of places not yet filled. The night was great, and everybody left feeling extremely positive, many having paid for their Season Tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Thanks for that Thunder Pete, a really good and positive round up! Looks as though pre-season starts next week and it'll not be long till the season starts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder pete Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Local product Alex Donaghy has resigned. That's 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 A total of 27 players have been signed, club are teasing us announcing them over the next month. Expect it to be 5/6 academy lads, 9/10 re-signings and 10-12 new lads. Supposedly still looking at another 2 possibles. Exciting year ahead with guys on the Full80 expecting us to be in top 3, I'd be happy if we were pushing for playoffs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to say how things will go, not having seen the new players, but the ones we have met certainly talk a good game, and the atmosphere at the club is very positive. Roll on the first game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
