Fuzzy if you dont know Niel he isn't what you might describe as the sharpest knife in the drawer from sunny Northowram but he means well and basically wouldn't intentionally harm a fly . God knows what he has done with himself with no rugby because that literally is his life fullstop. Hes probably driven his dad bonkers in lockdown lol. Back on track folks I think there is substance to the Worthington rumour which probably explains tyrer .which will make niel very happy

Why all the insults. Really tough hiding behind stupid nicknames so nobody knows who you are. I’m only trying to keep people updated with retention list . No need for the insults from whoever you are

Matt Garside, great resigning tough as teak is MG with masses of experience. https://t.co/datgJlRUGr?amp=1

Another good piece of news. Bet we don’t get any comments from the glass empty brigade though. All doom n gloom

I appreciate your posts Neil. Thank you.

With regards to Garside, if I am honest I would rather us have kept Brierley who I thought impressed in the games he played for us where as Garside was one I was not too fussed about but hopefully he can settle in and kick on. I would say the same about Morris who seems to have stagnated over the past 2 or 3 seasons. Theres no doubt he is a 100% effort type player its just a shame his improvement has slowed quite a bit from when he burst in to the team. To be fair I thought he started this season quite well so again hopefully he kicks on.

These two signings do highlight that we desperatley need some nasty snarling prop forwards though as our backs are taking shape but we may end up with a couple of decent half backs, the best hooker in the league, and a lightweight pack for them to play behind.

Yes would have loved to see Brierley stay at the club because he was a good player within himself and offered something different from Matt for the team as a group, variation / options are usually a good thing.

I heard Fax wanted to and did try to keep PB but he was tempted by the Toronto offer and a chance to play in SL, the club alluded to that situation in their update to the fans in the outgoing players section.

There must be some incoming forwards to be added to to resigning’s surely?

Nice to know someone does. I believe we may have a couple of props on way, names not known.

Spot on Greg.

We have done for a while one of the softest packs in the Champioship

Well I'm happy that JS has put pen to paper, he knows what he is capable of and of the hard work required to get him to his best.
Good on yer Salty, kick on next season pal.

Wood-burnhall

What I said for Salty x 2 for Woody.

Solid re-signings. Salty is steady away and wont shy away from the hard graft. Has to be on the wing though, never a centre for me. Salty at centre for me just shows how desparate we are for a couple of quality centres. Woody should have the fullback shirt for me but we know thats not happening. Quality player on his day and needs a bit of good luck with injuries and a good run in the team although I think its looking like he will be filling the other centre spot. I think our backs and halfs look promising so far but as has been said we are crying out for some props. 2 good props really could be the difference between us chasing 5th spot and actually been hopeful of a top 4 challenge.

Got to agree with you about Salty, solid player but has to be on the wing.

Not sure about JWH though - I haven't seen anything from him other than that try at Bradford to suggest that he has what it takes. At best for me a squad player to cover for any injuries.

https://t.co/ovz1Lbw03t?amp=1 Good on yer Jacob, keep safe and when the times right rip it up pal.

While I didn't really expect Faiebank to move still delighted with his resigning as I feel he's been our most consistent forward over last couple of years and brings an enthusiasm to the team that will be even more needed now that Murrell has gone. The squad list on the clubs website has been updated and would suggest anyone not already announced as leaving will be here next year - while good news obviously a need for some new blood to replace all the departed players..

Can see Jacob being captain next year

Yes, good call.

Sion jones further 2 years good young player

Ben kavanagh. Good to see he has recovered from that bad injury

So we now have a mix of youth and experience in the pack.
We now need some size and aggression if there’s anyone available.

The club have updated the list of arrivals/departures/retained players and I see that Paul Brearley is not on there.

Staying with us after the Toronto deal fell through? Hope so!
