I thought it was a cracking game between 2 evenly matched teams on the day. Our youngsters will have benefitted greatly from testing themselves against the best team in the Championship. This was a huge step up from playing under 18s and 20s rugby.
I'm sure that Calland will have seen the benefit of your charges locking horns with some of the experienced Super League players that took to the field for us.
The result really didnt matter and i'm sure that the players involved are now better prepared for the seasons start as a result of the game.

Deffo forward pass and that 'double movement' was both elbows hit the deck imo

Thats Leahy for you, gives us nowt!

RBA. I think thats a fair reflection of the day. You are right the result is pretty meaningless (we would have liked to win though

) and it was a really good hit out for both sides. These games are traditionally used to look at players, try different moves (which dont always work) and just generally get a really good training session with full contact. I think we ticked the boxes on all those.

Just cant wait for the season to start proper.

Regardless of the strength of the 2 teams, it was a full bloodied friendly that will only have benefitted both sides in terms of preparation for the season ahead. Yes, it would have been nice to win, but we can't have everything. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a friendly so much, and the performance bodes well for the season ahead - where's the Fax defence come from all of a sudden?

Good luck to Hull KR for the season ahead too.

I saw someone put on here that it was DJ`s kick to set up Paul White but it looks like Penky on the video.
