[iFollowing a breach of club discipline at a function last week James Ratcliffe, Paul March, David March and Rob Kelly have been stood down from first team duties for this weekends match against Blackpool. Danny Ratcliffe has been suspended from first team duties until the end of this month. The club wishes to make no further comment on this incident.[/i

Must have been one hell of a party...

Lets hope Biss and the rest of the Blackpool Boys can do us one huge favour on Sunday

oh dear such a shame, true colours and all that! Air heads !!

Come on Blackpool.

Perhaps the March twins actually let their conduct on the field spill into 'real life', along with a few of their colleagues. Where's jbcyk's 'MORON' comment when you need it? And who is the most approriate target for it now?

I can't believe it. Where were the Keighley boy's?

It looks like Paul March will be gone at the end of this season.

Statement from the Club
Friday 3 July 2009

Following comments from a number of Knights fans the club would like to release the following statement regarding last Friday's events which resulted in five players and our Director of Rugby been suspended. As reported in the Press the incident took place in the Executive Suite at Headingley on Friday night prior to, during and following the Rhinos match against Bradford. As a key partner of the Rhinos the Knights have been given a table of corporate hospitality at all Leeds Rhinos home games for the next three seasons. As a reward for the players we allocated this game to them and allowed them to raise money for the players fund by running a competition for supporters, hence the six Knights fans that attended with the players and staff. The Rhinos charge more than £1,000 per match for a table in this category of hospitality and have hundreds of groups of people attending their matches every year. Four different corporate guests complained about the behaviour and conduct of the Knights table as well as the lady doing the after match speeches. In addition to this the derogatory comments written on the table cloth and comments during the game itself are also completely out of order and unacceptable. The Rhinos have only ever had two complaints about the conduct of their guests of which the Knights are one of them. The Knights partnership with the Rhinos is worth tens of thousands of pounds every year and is one that the club cannot afford to loose. The players and staff were complimentary guests of the Rhinos the behaviour of the Knights table was extremely unprofessional, even more so when the party included senior players and coaching staff. The players and staff have let the club down, team mates and supporters and we had no alternative but to take action. The club now consider this matter closed and will not make any further comment.

We read something in Rugby League Express today which amused us.Paul March confirms he will be leaving York and he reckons the other suspended players will follow, have we all misjudged him perhaps he thinks he is Robin Hood with his merry men.

Paul March has been [url=http://www.yorkcityknights.co.uk/index2.htmlsacked[/url from York.
Wonder if the other players will go now or wait till the end of the season.

Also just heard that 2 Bobs has left Oldham.

Very good York may well implode. Is it confirmed about Rob Roberts.

As long as he dosn't play for us again I cannot see that causing anyone great concern except for the player himself.

So much potential talent. So hot headed!

I like fact not just rumours

unless I start them

The below is from Oldham Chronicle

OLDHAM have sacked club captain Robert Roberts for unspecified disciplinary reasons.

No comment is being made publicly by the club on the reasoning behind the decision, which is believed to relate to an incident which happened towards the end of last week.

However, it isn’t thought to be the first time the 29-year-old Wales international has teetered close to the line of acceptability in terms of behaviour in recent months.

Roberts has had a chequered career and it is the third time he has suffered such a fate following incidents at Huddersfield in 2003 and at Leigh four years later, the latter preceding a move to the Roughyeds to play under his former coach at Keighley, Steve Deakin.

At the time, Oldham chief executive Chris Hamilton revealed that the fiery character had been made fully aware of the need to abide by the club’s code of conduct.

“Expectations on and off the pitch have been made very clear to him and he fully understands what is expected,” Mr Hamilton had said, of a talented player who went on to be such a vital pack leader as the Roughyeds reached play-off finals in consecutive seasons.

Roberts, who last month had a public spat with chairman Bill Quinn after a Challenge Cup defeat at Gateshead, had been out of action with a knee injury of late.

Praised for the work he had done in helping spread the rugby league gospel in local schools, he nonetheless becomes the second player to fall foul of club disciplinary rules this season.

Daryl Cardiss was dismissed for similarly unspecified reasons less than two months after signing a new contract late last year.

Roberts’ dismissal could lead to the club seeking to recruit a direct replacement in the second row, with Mr Hamilton admitting “it is an option”.

Meanwhile, Roughyeds centre or full-back Paul Reilly is set to see a specialist over his twice-broken nose, with a protective facial guard one possibility to prevent him sustaining further injury.

Danny Halliwell, sent off for punching at Workington yesterday, will find out a week tomorrow if he is to pick up an RFL suspension for his actions.

Paul March is Hunslets new player coach.

lOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE SEEING HIM SOON AT COUGAR PARK.

Hows this for funny with March at hunslet how long before neil lowe goes as he got sent off for kicking him

Surely that is something that March understands and respects

Would have been funny if you got the right March, Lowey
was sent off for kicking David March.

You will be in for a suprise if you expect the Knights
to implode due to the loss of one player...

Stop sulking

Come end of season Knight till I drop may have a big shock
