So with York Acorn coming up at the weekend, what kind of side do you expect us to put out? Can see it being a young side but with some bigger forwards as protection for the kids. Aydin will surely play as he missed yesterday, and people like Gardiner and Fash Getting my tickets tomorrow, kids for free is great. I'm guessing we can sit or stand wherever?

Can see it been a mixture of our better youngsters and fringe players, something like Moy Briscoe Westerman Hardaker Barron Kemp Cust Fash Balmforth Aydin Lane Jebson Gardiner Salaibo Hutchinson Kirby Sao Or something similar it would have been an ideal game for the likes of Charles, Laidlaw and Litten to get going but unfortunately injury has ended that, I just hope it goes better than our last trip to Fev where we had about 4 long term injuries and God knows how many cards.

Everyone not injured has to play assuming we play our best 17 They have cobwebs and they also need to practice that second half more ! Sorry for York but we need to practice and practice hard I expect 90-0 win

For me it's just about getting through it without injuries. I would look at the squad and say, which players can we not afford to be without for the start of the season. Those guys wouldn't play. There is no point. Moy Martin Westerman Briscoe Barron Cust Kemp Sao Balmforth Aydin Lane Jebson Gardiner Salabio Fash Hutchison Kirby A smattering of first teamers to show respect to York Acorn and the competition, another chance for a few of the youngsters to make an impact, and guys like Asiata, Rapana and Sezer wrapped in cotton wool. Even with that team I would expect to be winning by at least 80.

It's unfortunate we drew the amateur team. We'd get a lot more out of a tougher game against a championship team
