Probably the most telling of the friendly's to see where we are.2 DRs included,with Barber,Kav and Flem missing.

Looks a bit light in the front row which will be from Keegan, Elliot and probably see Jacob move there from 13.
Dan will be out because of the concussion he picked up at the Giants but should be okay for Eagles.

I'm looking for the same amount of aggression and hopefully a bit more in attack as Muzza and Tom get a better understanding.

Should be a good game, Knights have a few out and should think Fax wont have a full squad to pick from.

Decent run out won 16 6

Bit scrappy at times in the first half with plenty of errors by both sides, better in the second despite a few ending up playing out of position and the fitness levels stood up well, good effort lads.

Fantastic today so many positives,team spirit, defence ,half backs, DR players,new players gelling,robbo, grix, brearley, turnovers from big hits, garside, JWH toughing it out and much more. Get behind the lads and bring a friend to the Sheffield game.

So what we reckoning then this season? Pre season out of the way and positives to take out of each game compared to last season where pre season was a total disaster. Its easy to see we have made some shrewd signings while avoiding some big names that could have been brought in and some players left that maybe should have gone a couple of seasons back as things started to go stale. Im a little worried up front after Kavanagh's injure which maybe leaves us a little short and still would have liked another centre but it does look like Huddersfield are going to give us some decent players and Grix looks willing to use them which should plug any gaps.

Obviously very little pressure on us this season after the last one but we do pretty well when we are wrote off.

Have we signed Gelling?

Lovely sunset in York.

Highlight of your day ?
