The clubs statement was a disgrace having a sly dig about not scoring why feel the need to do that to a young player. Widsh Brd all the best met his mum and dad a few times while i helped behind the bar at our club when reserves/academy played there nice family

I think I could count on one hand the mount of times we put a grubber into the on goal this season. Drives me potty too. I think we did it once against Batley in the play-offs and scored...

Don't know why we don't do it more rather than just aimlessly floating a kick up across the pitch.

Any chance Elliot wrote this and it's just a bit of banter between mates?

I'm not an Oakes fan but I agree it's very conservative stuff for the most part.

Rumoured to be battling it out, but likely missing out on Joe Wardle with Leigh.

That would have been one hell of a coup. Certainly looking like we're looking at that next level of quality though.

Sign Jy Hitchcox!

Potentially a bullet dodged there imo. Another player getting towards the end of his career who will be demanding a high salary based on past glories. When was the last time you saw him do anything of note, or even put a string of performances together?
We should be using York's 2021 recruitment as a cautionary tale.

He’s 30 not 34 so they wouldn’t be interested in him

Hes only just turned 30 a couple of week a go. Think he could be devastating at this level.

Get what you're saying about not falling into the trap of Yorks recruitment for this year. But they signed a far too many 34+ year olds. At this level you need to get the balance of signing experienced players who are no longer quite good enough for SL, but add star quality at championship (like Craig Hall, Remi Casty etc) and not signing too many "has-beens" who are too old.

New retention announced at 5pm. ....Fleming?

DFJ

Pleased with that. He's been our best winger this year and won't break the bank.

The latter part of the piece with JK he says more competition for places next year I hope so as I think that’s been part of the problem this year there hasn’t been any really…
