Puk Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Good luck to him and let's hope he makes it at the Rhinos obviously think highly of him to give him a four year contract,wonder if the knights received a transfer fee for him as he was still under contract at the knights.

They’ll probably send us a signed shirt to raffle off. 1 1 http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fax Knight Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Got to love RL. Top teams cream off the best young talent at 16. Most of the lads don’t make it at pro/semi-pro level. My lad played in the same Siddal junior team as Holroyd, Smithies, Dean and Borough. Most of them signed, only those four left (plus Whitton at Cornwall). Many don’t play RL again or drift to RU. If a good lad like Warren ends up at a club like York he gets taken anyway. Nor knocking him- good luck to to the kid. But how can you develop a good side from within when the vultures swoop. Will be AJ.next. How many players have London found, developed and lost? Then again might not be an issue when we’re the crappy franchise “North York’s Turnips” and the Knights cease to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have done it for years, sign 20 young kids up then get rid of 17 in 18 months, that's why they are better signing for a club like York, Batley etc, wonder if he'll come to the Knights on loan next season?.

I’m sure Coventry weren’t ecstatic when Batchelor moved to York. How about Myles Harrison, AJ Towse, Porter, Chilton and obviously Warren - were New Earswick, Heworth and Acorn compensated when York brought them in? It goes on at all levels, and happens in most sports, doesn’t make it right. If it was up to me there’d be a set minimum compensation figure depending on the league but it’s not up to me and it will continue.

Wiggyroad Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I hope york got compo but something tells me they won't have. What us the point of a lower league team bringing on young players for not so super league team to take the cream and then dump them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say's both club's came to an agreement , despite the sarcasm from some I'm sure York benefited financially 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puk Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Wonder if the knights have a pre season friendly with the rhinos included in the transfer deal and the knights keep all the gate receipts from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acasterknight Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I wish the lad all the best, he has to do what is best for his career, but how are we supposed to improve the team and bring local lads through if they keep getting poached by the bigger clubs. Not just our problem I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
