spanishknight Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Always a good game of rugby, they like to throw the ball about and score some cracking tries, plenty of pace in the outside backs, we have to be up for it from the start, not giving them a six point start in the first few minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggyroad Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 We all know that doesn’t mean anything. How many times this season have players who aren't fit been listed in the 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeb1 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Think Sundays game will be a lot closer than most predict, Swinton will be scrapping for championship survival , should make for an interesting game , keep an eye on George Roby who we are rumoured to have signed for next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fax Knight Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Said it all season, this 21 man squad nonsense is the biggest pile of BS I’ve ever seen. It’s marketing under false pretences. If a player isn’t fit and has no chance of playing he shouldn’t be named. I know it’s some RL directive, but that doesn’t make it right. It should be an 17 man squad plus a reserve and that’s it.

Roger York Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 A lot has been said about injuries and the 21 man squad this season personally it does not bother me I will turn up anyway to watch I usually see the team online as I’m walking to the ground. I have to ask this question out of curiosity do some fans only turn up only if certain players are playing or if there favourite players are injured won’t turn up? Anyway back to the game hopefully we can carry on the momentum of the last few weeks and get another win, Swinton are a dangerous side when they throw the ball about and are fighting for there survival but feel we should just have too much for them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expatknight Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 With the forecast as it is we should have too much pace for Swinton, I would hope we will be moving the ball out via Harris and Hingano / Dee / Daley and using AJ, Bassy and whoever is fit at full back to their full potential. With a decent amount of grunt from our pack I think we will do well. Confidence is high, there isn’t too much pressure on the players except to do their best which is always good. Swinton have to win which does make them dangerous but if we can get a couple of scores in front I think their heads might drop a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaxbyKnight Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 The thing that annoys me, is it would seem that at least 4 of those in the squad aren't fit. Brown was injured last week, and although we don't know the extent of the injury, I would guess there is no chance of him, Daley, Hingano and 2P's playing. Hopefully I am wrong. This whole charade of naming a 21 man squad is wrong, why not just wait until match day, then name the 17 who are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puk Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 By naming your 21 man squad in advance your giving both clubs an insight who's going to be playing at the weekend,maybe it does need looking at it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puk Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 On the game itself it should be a decent game and if we play as we have done in the last few weeks we should run out winners.Hopefully the knights get a decent crowd with season ticket holders allowed to buy 2 extra tickets for a £5 each.

HaxbyKnight Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Kirmond is also in the squad, but according to the website, Daley has taken his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason they brought this in was due to a incident a few years ago (2004) STHelens put out a very weakened team against Bradford but obviously this info has got out to certain individuals who bet bradford to beat St Helens which they did and it didn’t look good for the sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware the club only need to notify the RL of their 21 man squad , no obligation to publicize the details , this maybe the way forward and as said name the 17 team one hour before K O as RL regs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonT Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Nowt will beat picking up a photocopied team sheet as you walked through the turnstyle at Clarence Street. Then waiting in anticipation for the entrance of two star substitutes - A.N. Other & S.O. Else Great days 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
