Ok robbie had a shocker,and the majority were not any great shakes,but surely Ridyard has to start at half back,hartley offers little in defence and even less in attack.Keep the faith

Like i said last week BE VEREY AFRAID, we offer very little,in attack or defence, even against lower Division teams ,it wont get any easier against the Championship teams ,we are in for a rough time , but Basil WILL sort it out ,he wont put up with this for long, i have faith.Heads MUST ROLL to move forward .

For me, we still suffer from last season's problems - a lack of penetration and pace. Ironically, the defence seems more tenacious, but it's no use restricting a team to 13 points, when we can't score that many ourselves!

At least in the last quarter the team showed that there was some rugby in us of which there was very little evidence for in in the first 60 minutes.

On a more positive note the flag looked good from the stand we were sitting in.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT. think you need to stop eating them sour grapes old mate , you arent giving york the credit they deserve , wigan colts or a cobbled together oldham , but for a bit of over enthusiasm with the final ball the winning margin would have been even greater , but that said best of luck for the season

Boring, predictable, lacking in basic skills. Even when it got to 12-12, it wasn't exciting, we all knew we would lose to a drop goal and the umpteenth dropped ball allowed them it. Sorry guys, can't justify the expense of away games, especially if the games are as poor as that. One thing I will say is that in my opinion everything picked up once Duffs and Ridyard were on. At least I noticed Ridyard, and as for Robbie. I think his press work is already interfering with his committment to the cause.

I thought Army, Leuleui, Taylor, Alstead, Duffy and Mc Connell had good games , Higson wasnt given long enough,although he was took off for knocking on which he didnt near the end, how Paul and Hartley get on before Ridyard is beyond me. Duffy 6 Ridyard 7 Jock 9 please next week oh and Morty back at fb please.
I have Alstead on the wing too AND A BETTER centre to feed Stanton, Nanyn too slow atm.

Best team won on the day.I did say York could have scored a couple more.But it was a very poor game far too many unforced errors.Thats why most of these lads are playing at this level.
Our aspirations,with respect, are much greater than yours but the way we have started off....frustrating!!
Thanks for the friendly welcome,still behind Batley though.
Best of luck to ya but on the way back over the hill to gods county Hunslet chairman said they are gonna win the league.

Ridyard should be at stand off & try Hartley at centre

Tim is a decent centre and did well for us in that position the back end of last year, i dont think we ever played him stand off throughout his Widnes days. Nanyn has never had good pace you have to get used to that.


Nice to see duffman playing decent though.

Said it before that Hartley should be a centre and a Ridyard/Paul halfback combination......... Jock at 9 and Duffy coming off the bench to add to the attack play when needed.

I think I would play Hartley centre and Alstead on the wing. and have Duffy coming off the bench in case we have a repeat of today.

Ridyard seems to me a lot better than last season.

Not much more too say apart from still very p'd off with today.
