I may be being unfair, but I thought we were second best for most of the match. York played the better rugby and dominated the collision. Our forwards were bullied in the tackle and often found themselves on their back, whereas the York players seemed to more often than not generate a much quicker play the ball. We still lack a couple of big experienced props, and I’d like to see our outside backs take some more resposibility from dummy half in making quick yards. Towards the back end of each half, the York pack really tired, and their wingers carried them down the pitch with some easy metres.

York Press need to let us know the formula for deciding if we are allowed to celebrate a win. Against superleague or championship teams plus Keighley and Workington we are, against York and Donny we can a little bit and against Coventry we have to remain utterly silent with a poker face. Presumably the fans better not clap either. Utterly moronic thing to say.

The team we faced had three full-time Hull KR players in it, plus the likes of Cockayne and Horne who were, until very recently, full-time SL players.

How many FT players were in our starting 13? Perhaps 7 or 8? Not so much of a difference when you look at it

The team spirit is very good within the squad. A lot of them are very good mates

My lad goes to Keyes's house for tea as well, I never get an invite

You should keep an eye on the company your lad is keeping - ask Keyesy to join you at yours.....

Just a quick follow up to this, I have a couple of extra programmes left over (me and my partner bought a few extras), will do them for £1 posted. Just drop me a PM if you want one. Thanks and best of luck for the rest of the season - don't think you'll need it though!
