spanishknight Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Oakes, Ellis, Matongo, Dixon, Stock, Kirmond and Inman have been released by the Knights, it says Inman came on loan then signed for the Knights but has been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Arro Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Suppose Inman has to go, our new 9 from Oz is quality apparently. Shame stocky went but he's moved jobs. Kirmo I presume is retiring so good luck to him. The other 4 won't be missed imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonT Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hope we have some big middles coming in or I feel we will struggle to make yardage. Bring on the klaxon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Hall Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Best of luck to all the departing players and thanks for your efforts, especially Ronan Dixon who's been at the Knights since 2017, best memory of him is when he upset loads of Fev fans in the game that saw us clinch a play-off spot in 2019, great stuff. Special mention for Danny Kirmond too, by far the best of the ex-SL players we signed in 2021, all the others weren't fit to lace his boots.

TheYoungBaron Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Danny K still has a good year left in him. I've a feeling in mi water.... he'll be leading from the front with CC and JT come the start of the season. UTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fax Knight Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Sensible decisions re: these players as we seek to improve. I’m sure young Inman will continue to progress his career. Oakes was never the same player when he returned back to York. He also had a rough time with injuries and young AJ has taken his chance superbly. I hope those that aren’t fixed up yet and who want to stay in the game get picked up. Looking forward to see who Henderson can entice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence Street Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 No mention of Joe Porter who of course said he was retiring at the end of the season. If he has that's 4 props gone and 1 new addition in Ukuma Tai, not counting Ronan Michael as he was with us last season. At the start of last season it seemed to be the general opinion we could do with another prop. Fordy was even quoted as saying something along those lines if I remember correctly but for whatever reason it never materialised. At the forum on Monday night, if I understood him correctly, Clint seemed to suggest there were no more signings to be made and the squad already announced was the squad we would go with into next year. It goes against the grain to be pessimistic but without at least 2, preferably3, more front rows signed up, I think we'll struggle to even equal the past seasons finishing position. Before anyone suggests Chris. Clarkson moving up, to me he's too good in the second row to mess him about by doing that but we'll have to see what pans out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishknight Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) We have 4 props signed on upto now, we have 29 players signed on including the young local lads so Clint told me after the forum, I think you need 6 props 2 starting, 2 on the bench plus 2 more to cover injuries and bans.

georgeb1 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 With 21 players confirmed that's another 8 to be announced if the 29 figure is correct , we wait in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 29 include the 3 young lads who we are looking at signing, don't know what positions they play, should think one will be young Barnard who was an unplayed sub at Fax.

stevo56 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 A story has appeared on the Press website that says we have a 21 man squad with only 2 front rowers that will be fit for the start of the season and no manoeuvre room for the new coach to bring anyone else in. Surely if there were 7 or 8 more to announce some of them would be props which leads me to assume we are done at 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they spent the budget tying down players on long contracts . Makes no sense if that's the case especially if 2 I can think of are long term injuries already.

JonT Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Surely some announcements have been held back to stimulate post world cup season ticket sales. If not we will struggle next year both on and off the field. Can't see there not being another couple of middles to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
