So is it Confimed that Dorn and Grix have signed?
Except they hardly ever update things like that.CCGenerals said:Hey guys I have been noticing lately that other footy websites seem to publish their club's player movements and that the Knights website doesnt say a thing about new signings, etc. So recently i sent an email to the knights admin asking if it was possible if they could provide a section on the Knights website on all the players coming and going from the club. I just got a reply back today from the admin and they said that they will see what they can do about it. Hopefully they can setup a section for it on the website in the near future as it will be a more easier and reliable way to keep track of whats going on rather than having to search around.![]()
Don't want to dampen your hopes but waiting for them to update stuff is like watching grass grow.CCGenerals said:Hey guys I have been noticing lately that other footy websites seem to publish their club's player movements and that the Knights website doesnt say a thing about new signings, etc. So recently i sent an email to the knights admin asking if it was possible if they could provide a section on the Knights website on all the players coming and going from the club.

Family affair: will Simon Grix be followed by brother Scott to Warrington?
WARRINGTON have finally completed the signing of Halifax starlet Simon Grix for next season - and are being linked with his out-of-contract big brother Scott as well.
Warrington officials were not prepared to admit the capture of Grix junior, although an announcement is expected by the end of the week.
But Courier Sport can confirm that the former King Cross player, a member of the England Academy side that beat Australia in Sydney over the summer, has put pen to paper on a permanent deal with Paul Cullen's Wolves.
Simon had been hoping for a move to Australia, with Michael Hagan's Newcastle one of several sides who expressed an interest in signing him for 2005.
But the depth of talent Down Under, coupled with the cost of flying an unproven teenager half-way round the world, seems to have proven too great a deterrent in the salary-cap conscious NRL.
With no firm Antipodean offer on the table, Grix was effectively faced with a choice between Warrington or staying in the National League for another season.
Fax will be entitled to a fixed fee for Grix under the terms of the contract he signed following the club's relegation from Super League at the end of 2003.
Shay football manager Paul Dixon preferred not to comment on the player's apparent switch, but admitted it would come as no surprise.
"Simon has a clause in his current deal which allows him to leave for a set amount of money," said Dixon.
"I would be surprised if he and his agent hadn't explored that although he was obviously looking at the Australian option as well."
Scott's possible link to the Halliwell Jones Stadium comes as more of a surprise.
The talented full-back has been one of the success stories of the second half of Fax's season, but with Elland-based Darryl Cardiss holding the number one shirt for Paul Cullen's side he would be far from an automatic inclusion in the Wolves' line-up.
And Scott's situation could be complicated by his age - he turns 21 next May, leaving him with just one more season of under-21 rugby in which to stake a claim for a first team spot.
But with Cullen, who has already added strike centres Martin Gleeson and Toa Kohe-Love to an already potent 2005 backline, publicly saying he is looking to fill squad numbers 21-25 for next season, he could be prepared to take a gamble on the ex-Siddal man.

Looks like we wont be getting Grix.
Spike said:I could see Cooper taking Hall's wing spot and pushing Hall onto the bench to cover the second row/backs which Hall was doing last year for a while.
He is one of the two front rowers from NZ who will be attending Newcastle Uni next year. He was head prefect at Scots college in Wellington and helped Wellington to a big win in the NZ juniors championships. He will be able to play SG Ball - but they obviously think he has better prospects if they are listing him in the signings.CCGenerals said:I noticed we signed Hanan Laban, who the hell is he?
