York City Knights Squeeze Past the Broncos
When the draw for the second round of the Betfred Challenge Cup was made, the potential for a clash between two highly ambitious sides was likely to be the most mouth watering prospect as the possibility of the London Broncos hosting the York City Knights was on the cards. And with York beating Sheffield and London being victorious over Keighley, so it came to pass.
The chance of a big game against one of the top Super League outfits was the prize on offer as the sides met at Rosslyn Park in south west London. The two teams met in round five last year, before the competition was truncated by the pandemic, and it was the visitors York who triumphed by 24-22 on that occasion.

York didn't squeeze past LB they outplayed them. Young guns were good on their senior outings but not good enough or experienced enough.

Think thats a harsh asessment. York on paper should have been much better, think broncos defense was pretty good. 2-8 final score would have been a better indication of the game overall, pretty balanced game, York just finished better.
Lack of leadership probably the real difference.

York seem average given the players they have. They looked overweight and a bit cumbersome. Lower end of play offs for them.

It is funny how on a York forum, they were saying what a good job Kieran Dixon did at fullback. How assured he looked in that position.
Now I like Kieran and was sorry to see him leave. But whenever he played at fullback for us, I was concerned that he was would make an error under the high ball, I was never comfortable when he played there. Far sooner see him on the wing.
Still he is their player, so where they play him is up to them.
I must add, for all the experience that they had on the park yesterday. York were not a good as I expected.

Thing is, people can say "ah, we had a load of youngsters playing" etc but if we do have injuries, that will be the team we put out!!! There is no real cover in the squad. From who was missing, who is due back next week??

If K took the first difficult ball in a game he was usually ok, if he got it wrong his whole game tended to suffer.
He was pretty safe yesterday.

This club may be working to a three year plan. Hendo when coach set us up on a plan for SL in three years. He left, but Danny took it on with success.
I think they are setting things up again in a similar manner. We may not have strength in depth at this time, but over the year youngsters will improve or leave.
So this year we may scrape into the playoffs, but improvement will come and hopefully Year 3 SL. |

Agree what's the rush with Wimbledon. Another thing which is a worry we produce great youngsters but never get the benefit of the money, time and energy spent of them. I know it is their future and they all want to play SL or as high a level as possible but I think the contracts should be a longer time to get some benefit before they move on. I feel we produce some of the best youngsters in RL and that shows by how many are scattered around SL and Championship teams, there was a time when this was unheard of

At least Aussies & Kiwis know how to travel & settle in as it's in their DNA & almost a right of passage. While it might be a bit of a generalisation, we have got better value out of them than out Northern players who for whatever reason seem unable to hack it down here for long. A few notable exceptions of course.

They were the best times. We couldn't run the water for Canberra with this team never mind take them apart in front of a decent crowd, |

Hence my opening comment - not good enough. The youngsters are doing a great job and loads of upcoming talent but need more experience. There is not enough experience for when players are injured. |

That is not what I am saying and you know that. You are being pedantic. I want to hold on to our great youngsters a little longer and get benefit from them before other northern teams come in to cherry pick from the crop. If we could hang on to them once they have a bit more experience than we could have a settled team instead of changing so much year on year |

It's time for The RFL and Super League to agree that any club in a development area or a lower league club Must receive a payment for Any player signed from them, currently it is rich picking for them! though in my amateur days there was a £50 fee for any player signed, and we had to support clubs to Fight to get that money off most clubs! |

I can't see that happening given the ownership by The Dons Trust, |
