Title: Goodbye for now
Post by: backrowbandit on May 10, 2026, 09:40 AM
Well chaps/chapesses,

That's us gone for now. Up the dizzy heights of level 5 for the first time ever next season (for a year at least.)

Wishing you all well for next season.

I'm sad to inform you that I won't be able to resist contributing on this board, with my usual insightful and helpful comments from time to time.

Keep the light burning brightly everyone.

I will be delighted join you in the dizzy heights of level 5 BRB for our first ever time also. No doubt two additions that will bring some insight into grassroots rugby without stellar playing budgets.!!!

Good luck in level 5 i am sure the recruitment will be in full swing to add half a dozen new faces to give you boys a good chance of staying up at that level for a few years. Enjoy the journey :)

Close the door on the way out Mr. Bandit 😂

Jokes aside it'll be interesting to see how you guys get on next year and hope you go well, as for you signings and recruitment, I heard some juicy rumours from a few of the neutral supporters at York on Saturday, but I never believe everything I hear, so will just watch this space for now.

All the best,

PNR

Scarbs and Ribb will be very welcome additions to a very competitive league. Look forward to seeing you !

I did hear a grumble from a York supporter that you outbidded them for a new lad due to fly over from NZ for next season but just thought your best not throwing stones in glass houses :)

No idea but apparently York asked DAA to do a selling job and the player hung up!

I heard the same a while ago, classy NZ back rower bypassing York for Scarbados, can't be true though, as the Yorkshire Rugby Forum Oracle that is The BRB doesn't know about it.

You'll be needing 1 or 2 more Yorkshire U20's then...
