New Signing

[Simon Hall]

Matty English, joining immediately and for next season. Good signing that, things must be happening off the field.

"bUt yORk ArE iN sPeCIaL mEAsuREs" puts that to bed I guess.

2 year deal for a middle with 150+ SL games hopefully a nice solid addition.

great news, should add a bit of power in the middle. This news might settle a few nerves, certainly as far as the fans are concerned.

[Gav Wilson]

Solid signing. At 28 he'll be coming into his prime now too. Happy with that!

[Cam varley]

Happy days can’t grumble at a prop signing especially super league experienced and domestic 

[KH17]

Sounds like Andy Djeukessi is the next to be called up from Thunder, a straight swap for Noffa who failed a HIA.

Potentially 2 new faces for this weekend, not going to complain about that.

And English seems like a very sensible signing. Bags of SL experience, non-quota and entering his prime years. 

[Darwin]

Top signing and good to see an experienced English player. No pun intended!

Glad we have him straight away as it’ll relieve the pressure off the other forwards as we’re starting to look tired. 
 

I know Vaughan is signed for another year but not sure if the others are. I’d be disappointed if we didn’t have Jack and Va’a signed for another season as they’ve played brilliant. Jack goes under the radar but he gets through some work.

A sign of good things happening! Well done!

Matty English will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in training at York. The Knights say they will handle his rehabilitation after signing him on loan from Huddersfield.

ACL for the poor lad. At least he'll be fit for next years play-offs.

Ooft poor bloke what are the chances of that happening 

[Acasterknight]

If we didn’t have bad luck, we would have no luck at all.

......born under a bad sign.

[Expatknight]

Could only happen to us, yet another player who has got injured before playing a game, You have to feel sorry for him. 

[Rooney's Ears]

Any truth in Va'a going to Hull ?

I hope not, he has been outstanding for us and we took a chance on him when Wakey bailed.

[Rooney's Ears]

Only a Twitter rumour however. Thank goodness

You can just say anything on there and create a rumour. 
 

He’s contracted for 2027 anyway.

This year’s Super League deadline for permanent arrivals comes on August 21.

 

With the uncertainty of which league etc etc do we risk lots of signings or is there another transfer window after IMG ratings come out?

That deadline is for players for this season, can sign whenever we want for next year. 
 

Don’t think there’ll be much more movement for this year but you never know. Mash did say in his press conference that we’re signing players for next year and not planning for anything else other than SL.

They’ve made an enquiry that’s all they did the same for toa few months back and were told to get lost.Va’a has suitors from a lot of clubs if he was to go I doubt it would be hull.

22 years old and he's one of the best props in SL already, I'd be surprised if he doesn't go back to the NRL if/when he leaves York. 

[Rooney's Ears]

I would be getting the extended contract ready in the draw for him.

Money can talk though. And, rumour is, they've just taken a six figure sum from Wakefield for Litten.
