A 99 year lease is as good as you can get really. Makes it impossible for anyone to sell it from under us and there’s no maintenance to pay for.

That’s the biggest problem owning your own ground the cost of the maintenance. 99 year lease is pretty good,better than Sheffield who have got a 5 year lease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fevrover Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Good win for the Knights with not conceding a try. Let in 30 last week then score 30 this week ,some doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Arro Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Better performance today, although Dewsbury were pretty poor. Our tackling was atrocious in the first half, why don't we tackle legs anymore? Line speed is still an issue too. Some glimpses of what can be, BOH played well, as did Thompson, brown, Logan. Next week will be interesting to see where we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeb1 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Decent second half , thought we were dire first , must improve tackling and line speed it's o k against that level but must improve to make the six , moan over. Up the knights , I hope plenty make the short trip to Batley next week in what will be a much tougher match . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger York Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 To be fair the conditions were dire early first half not really rugby weather a lot of games today were close at half time it is a leveller. We showed glimpses what we can do Brendan played well first game back from injury Thompson again outstanding. Pauli Pauli played better a bit more involved would love to see him run from deep more often he is a handful. Our kicking game close to the line looked good it is early season and we will get better. On a final note I hope it’s warmer next week at Batley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyacko Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thought the defence was good, particularly on the try line but the occasional concern about moving up slowly. Nice to see Brendan back, Jamie Ellis looks as though he is growing into it - fabulous spur of the moment option to kick and get the skipper in. Jordan Thompson was absolute class again and I reckon Sam Davis is gonna be a real handful once he gets a few games under his belt, Kirmo was his usual workaholic self. Impressed with Ronan Michael again and Jack Logan and Joe Browne worked really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Knight Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 How was wacky warehouse Coolie? We had our own funny old afternoon at the crazy community stadium, had all 4 seasons today! Really good to get that first win. I’ve said it before but I love watching our wingers/centres now knowing they are safe as houses under the ball, they know when to go for the break or take the tackle. Used to drive me mad watching Dixon or BJB take the ball near their try line and try to run it out instead of scrambling over the line, it usually resulted in a drop out. Not with these backs, they are smart. Dewsbury huffed and puffed and hung in there so credit to them but they never really did enough, the game felt really slow and I thought they were very fortunate not to be a man down for a professional foul after Oakes’ run along the wing. BOH will get even better as he gets match fit and Pauli looked more involved second half. My only (constructive) criticism is our passing from hooker was again a bit slow, a bit wayward and at times too obvious. With competition for places I’m sure it will improve. Attendance 1562. Not sure whether to be happy or disappointed with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishknight Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 A game of two halves, weather spoilt any chance of open rugby by either team in the first half, once it stopped raining and the sun appeared the Knights woke up, showed how much we missed having two halfbacks last season, all the new players seem to be settling in nicely which is great news for us fans, roll on next week for a hard game at Batley it's time we won there.

Clarence Street Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thank goodness Andy A thought the defence was good. After reading the first few posts I thought I'd been at a different match. At least someone thought the same as me. First half, forget it. I thought both teams did well to turn out in that weather, along with the officials and staff/ subs on the touch line, never mind try and play rugby. After they'd all got warmed up a bit I thought the second half was a decent performance. Some nice tries, good kicking and that brilliant touchline run of Will Oakes! If only he could have made the last few yards, it would have been a contender for try of the season at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBKnight Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 That first half was a hard watch, but you could see BOH getting more and more up to speed as the game went on, and he'll make a big difference for us going forward. It was not the sort of weather for showing off a more ambitious range of passing though ! Thought Jack Logan had a good game today. Ross Pelltier was great for Dewsbury, in attack and defence. They looked a better side when he was on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fax Knight Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Didn’t enjoy the first half much, but it was a big improvement in the second. Echo what a lot have said about performances. Thought Oakes had good game - hope the injury isn’t too bad. Love the way Thompson still gains metres after the tackle. Having proper half backs makes a big difference and Marsh is so much better as a full-back. It will be interesting to see what happens when Harris’s ban ends. Was good to see PP show glimpses of what he can do. Looked a bit fitter and was bending his back in some tackles. Must be like getting hit by a bus. As Ford says, need to work on more fluency in attack which hopefully will come. Big game next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
