By ours, I meant from a York POV. So yes, the lesson being that KR's players are better than York's. I didn't mean better than Bradford's, although to be fair, I think they probably are.

You have got to feel a little bit sorry for those York players who played against London, and then were preparing for probably the biggest game of their career to date the following week, just to be told they were dropped as some KR players who were coming in on loan, for one game (apparently).






Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Well they will get a game this week now the KR players have been moved on to Leigh.

Yeah. Shame it wasn't a week earlier really.

Scored some good tries (Chisholms was a cracker) but far too many schoolboy errors again. 2 hospital passes to Ethan in our own 30. So frustrating at times. Its a small pitch, we can kill them with off-loads.

Also with Hallas last week proving to anyone who had any doubt that he's not a hooker, Halafihi having a dodgy start today, i really question the decision to let Butterworth go.

I think the decision was not in Bradford's hands tbh. They seem to have done alright in terms of getting players from Cas on loan mind you

On the whole not too bad I would have taken that score this morning, Halafihi a bit rusty and yes those hospital passes were baffling. There were plenty of positives i.e. Egodo and I thought Chisholm was very good, the issue that bothers me is James Green caused chaos in their defense pretty well every carry I cannot understand why no-one can push up to get on his shoulder for the off-load.

Great debut from Egodo. Lilley also seemed to be getting more involved as we went on. Plenty of positives. On the negative side Chisholm threw some awful passes in the 1st half, we lacked patience and needed to be more clinical. Think the message got out at half time.

Thought Chissy was outstanding and probably our MOM with James Green very close behind (if at all..). Fair enough, that came with the odd howler but with that kind of attacking skill I'll put up an occasional shocker.

Generally a good solid performance from all, with the new blokes seeming to fit as though they'd been here all year - pretty much from the off too as, for a change, we made very few errors in the opening quarter. I was very impressed with Egodo, he looks the business.

I've edited this to mention the wind, which was very dominant, particularly in the first half, and the good performance playing against this, and ending the half with a solid lead shouldn't be underestimated. All round good performance for me.
