I hope they are as good as some of the other players that Kells have produced over the years ! Both outside backs. Aaron is a England U23 Community Lion and Jordan played 7 years at Whitehaven, playing over 100 games and scoring over 50 tries, equally home at wing, centre or full back.

Peter Winthorpe Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Well that's 21 signed for thr new start. Glad we have a club and what seems a pretty good squad. We usually rum with 23 or 24 so where are we short. We have some experience in Jordon Burns Scholey Curwen Tomposh and Barnes. Still hope Forber gives us another year.

Churchill Drivers Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Jordan was a very good player at Haven - not sure what went wrong but possibly just lost his desire for the pro game. Believe Haven tried a number of times to get him to return without success. Will be good for Town if his heart is in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 An experienced half and a couple of loans from Wigan will do nicely now the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death to the Rah Rah's Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I’m really interested to see how this team is going to gel as it’s quite a unique set of circumstances which has got us to where we are today. the fallout from last seasons cash flow issues were well publicised, but now we have a director of football who has been quietly working away in the background identifying and signing players, some experienced but the majority very raw but with potential and that’s something we haven’t had for a long time, signing journeymen at the expense of locals. signing the cream of true local amateur scene is something we have all clamoured for years, not all of them will make it, but this season will at least allow the club to blood younger players with a view to really pushing on in 2024. The end of last season couldn’t come quickly enough for me, but I’m looking forward to this season as there doesn’t seem to be any pressure - although that could easily change if early results don’t go our way. There seems to be a renewed vigour to do things the right way with the ladies team, support for the creation of DPR and a willingness to listen. let’s hope this is the dawn of a new era!

The Voodooguru Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Things are looking promising with the squad and hopefully the mistakes of last season have been learned from in all areas. Jordan is proven quality and Aaron can catch pigeons. The other lads announced on Saturday all look like they can improve the squad. Still need a couple of key positions to fill but if we get them right we might be pushing for promotion instead if the other end of the table. UTT 2 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we have had some decent Kiwi backs since then (Sione, Ganley spring to mind) but no Aussies I can recall. Baildon was class, a good player in a poor team. Same with Fatnowna who could be very good when he could be bothered. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeandawayer Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'd love a Tani Manihera in that team to pull the strings but i don't know how we can afford one overseas player never mind two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
