Yes. Travelled through it many a time on the way to Scarborough/Filey/Brid.
Weather looks a proper negative for tomorrow unfortunately.

| 16-22 final score.
Crowd 421
Half-time draw 201.
The game?
OK.
Most of what London got we gifted it to them.
Our response to their restarts was shockingly bad.
Mind you the weather was numbing.
Why weren't players wearing gloves?
Steptoe and Son.
The stand out players for us were Charlie Martin and Connor Scott.
The other imports like Richard Owen and Liam Harris who are supposed to be special were far from that, but not terrible.
The Hull imports just earned their corn without busting a gut.
I thought we looked a well organised side and we competed for the entire game.
But we tailed off a bit in the second half.
No trees were torn up today ... but given the weather I am fairly pleased.

| Well that will have certainly blown the cobwebs away, and some promising signs for the season ahead but we still look quite small upfront and tacklers need to take the legs as well as locking the ball. London made far ok many yards at every tackle because their legs were free.
When you think their second try came from a blatant forward pass, the third try came from one of a number of handling errors by Harris (thought his kicking game was excellent, pity about his poor handling skills), and London's fourth try came off the back of a row of silly unnecessary penalties, we have cause for optimism.
I now not everyone's favourite, but I was pleased to see Aaron Jones-Bishop have a decent run out, he looked quite solid on the right hand side.

I said you would be pleased with Connor Scott and Ross Osbourne (didnt play today) as they both had really strong games for Hull FC against HKR.
Dont know what happened but Jordan Lane,Ross Osbourne, and Jack Downs all played for Hull today when they were originally supposed to play for Doncaster today.

Thank you bonaire ... I can only suppose that we will be stronger with those lads.
Which is very encouraging.

Good point and in addition to this, why is Horne playing Liam Harris at scrum half when his best position is stand off? Surely you want what you think is your best team out on the park. Why doesn't Horne come on ITD and tell fans what is going on.

| Some positives today , thought Connor Scott had a decent game. We still lack a bit of grunt up front. Not bad considering the conditions .

| Fair play to London who put a strong side out (although how much out of 3rd or 4th gear they were remains to be seen), this fixture will have done us a world of good I'm a big advocate of a tough pre-season, we were ok nothing more but thought martin looked the stand out for us, think the game told us what we already knew in that we are woefully short on size and strength down the middle if we can address that and bring in a couple of meatheads I'm calling we won't be far off this season. oh and by the way s-o I was there in my fishnets and a rose between my teeth but couldn't find you!

| Decent first hit out today. Impressed with jacks kicking game and thought tali was solid in defence. Don’t think Owen did bad. Harris has a long way to go to impress me. Any truth in the rumour that kesiks had his captaincy stripped?

| Gary Thornton was at the game today ... scouting and spying no doubt.
Saw him up in the restaurant.
Fair play to him .. at least he was there.
Lots of other familiar faces weren't.
The apathy is palpable.

| enjoyed todays game, first half was much better than the second. the wind/rain /cold made it very difficult for both players and fans. I thought one or two players stood out today but quite a few were pretty average, On the whole tho, this was the first time we played as a group/team and we need a few games to gel. def,light up front but I think we have the makings of a good team. looking forward to next week. COYDs
