I think it was a good game and both coaches will take positives, which is what friendlies are all about.

For me, your best players were Peterson and Heil.

But I was particularly pleased with our young full-back and scrum-half, both who have come through the Scholarship and Under 18s because it previous seasons the big risk has been injuries to Ian Hardman or Liam Finn. It is the first time we have seen them in the first team, friendly or otherwise.

Also Michael Haley (number 15) missed most of last season injured, so to see him knocking your big blokes about was encouraging.

Best of look for the season, I think your future looks bright.

you were no more playing the championship champions than we were playing Hull KR 1st team, in these games it always seems to be about how many players the super league team have missing, we must of had 8/9 out as well from what will be our 1st choice. It was a good game non the less and the curtain raiser between Selby Warrior U14s and Hull Isberg was just as exciting to watch

I think we did see plenty of the new structures and was why we were 12-4 up until around the final quarter. His plan has been to improve our defence, the wrestle and the way we put players on the ground. It looked slow, made for quite a boring game and seemed to be laying on an awful long time but because they were still moving the ref could not penalise.

Our slide defence looked much better too if the young lads are anything to go by. We only lost our inside shoulder once or twice through the game which is a big thing for Sandercock (according to the 1st teamers at the game). There were many things the first team would have done differently out there but then we should see that on Sunday! I am really looking forward to seeing a bit more structure in attack from our first choice halves while still having a solid defence. Think the one thing Sandercock will be disapointed with is the fact we let in a late try after just having one ruled out. We almost won the game (not the point of the match but still) but then wen't on to lose by 8pts, this happened a bit last year towards the end of each half so it is a habbit I am sure Sandy wants to put right before February!

Did Haley used to be at Leeds?

aye that's the one. Been at Sheffield and Fev since.
