We need halfbacks, we been limping along in this department for the majority of the season. It's more apparent in the tougher games, but still it was a concern at the start of the year and has only got worse.

I’m not sure he’s been missed much as we have had a lot of healthy score lines and won every game.

But he would be an improvement on Kay. No slight on Kay as he’s done a grand job at filling in but I see him as utility back up/squad rotation and nothing wrong with that.

IMO Max will be focused on Objective 1:Super League
Points/tries/ conversions are what they are.

True but playing with a freshly broken nose is chuffin horrible! Still, can imagine the conversation between him and Mat Crowther this morning: 'How's it feeling?' 'Spot on, can't wait for Saturday.'

A bit far off that isn’t he?

Quote: Willzay "A bit far off that isn’t he?'" Not really. Think he needs about 18 points a game from remaining or so to be number one in the world ever in RL history. That would be something that could stand another 100 years. Climbing with every point he gets.

That list also doesn’t include the NRL, so can’t exactly call it no 1 world record.

It doesn't include anybody from the NRL because there hasn't been a player in the history of Southern Hemisphere Rugby League that has broken 400 points in a season.

Certainly hard yes I agree but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for him to get as high in the list and cement his place in the record books.

He may not do it but who knows if he gets the odd 20 points + like he has this season a few times.

Watch him miss next game now

Ball in hand we were not very good and the forwards couldn't lay the platform that they usually do but credit has to go to York for stopping us.

What I was impressed with was our defence. York had plenty of ball near our line but except the try in the 1st half they never really looked like scoring. If we defend like that for the rest of the season then we will be hard to beat in the playoffs.

For me that’s been the most pleasing thing about this season. The defence and the defensive structure and line speed. This has been vastly improved. I hope they put just as much focus on it next season.

No disciplinary action taken against any players after this match, bit of a surprise or it would be if this wasn't RL
However Pauli Pauli has been found guilty of a late hit and given a two match ban which rules him out of next week's game against us

At Luncheon Club he said he had a knee injury
