And that's going to end in tears - Coolie says so .

We need better forwards next season, it's no good doing the same year after year you only go backwards, if it means you upset one or two so be it.

Jack teanby has steadily improved each year , the type of prop who just does the hardwork without being flash.

[YCKonstantine]

Also Bailey Antrobus

I am happy to be wrong on this one.

Two good forwards I think , but as has been mentioned in previous posts we need some new blood aswell

Daley sounds promising. Let’s hope he spends more time on the pitch than another Aussie. Shouldn’t be too difficult as some ‘Royal Rumble’ contestants managed more time on the York turf than BOH last season. Teanby - like his commitment, but would like to see more offloads. I like Antrobus for his effort and versatility. Hope he can find more gaps than opposition players next season. As for Ukuma Ta’ai, I can only assume there’s some sponsorships deal with Stannah Stairlifts next season? Anyone got Brendan White’s number, let’s get that Klaxon sounding again.

Now I may be wrong here, but I get the impression you’re a glass half empty sort of person?

Brendan has been very unlucky with injuries , no player deliberately gets an injury hopefully things will improve next season and you will see the class player he already is , as for akuma ta'ai, at 35 you've got to look at fui fui moi moi 40 and still a weapon , oh and let's not forget Stanley gene wasn't he reputedly about 53 when he hung his boots up . just my views of course

No it was 1953 when he made his debut, easy mistake to make 

[Fax Knight]

To be fair Simon, I probably am. It’s probably a backlash for having to be uber-positive at work no matter what (I work in a tech company where most are half my age). Hey I’d like nothing more than BOH to play every minute next season and for UT to play like he’s 26 again. Have a good day.

Jesse Dee Aussie utility forward who can also play in the threequarters from Thunder on 2 year deal.

Edited September 29, 2022 by spanishknight

Jesse Dee, Australian centre from Newcastle Thunder. I think centre is somewhere we’ve struggled, Edwards hasn’t always been on form/available. I’d hope Dee can form a good partnership with AJ or Oakes because on the other side of the pitch (Glover/Brown) it’s paid dividends.

[YCKBob]

Daley and Dee look like solid signings. Not sure about Ta’ai at 35. We'll see. Antrobus has got something about him. I'm not sure we've got the best out of him yet but I'm glad he's staying. How many more spaces do we have left for new signings?

Wonder if the lad knows a couple of props in the mould of Mike Marketo? 

Little known fact. Marketo was actually made of granite. We had some very good Aussies around that time. Matt Carter, Rod Pethybridge and Peter Martin come to mind.

Well Ta'ai was more than a handful for us at 1:40 here......

Dee plays back row too and had a game at half back for Thunder before he got injured if memory serves..
