[quote="bishops finger":2ve9yitz]It is a god send your right, aswell as an early round cup game it'll probably be the only game that the first team play before the season starts, so yes you'd expect us to go pretty much full strength, and get a tough match too
Fc will be away at an amateur team, so your game will probably be more like a full on training session, obviously you'll progress through but I'm not sure how much fc will get out of the game in terms of it getting your lads battle hardened.[/quote:2ve9yitz]
Obviously with the cancellation of the Doncaster game too I do think we'll go in a little bit undercooked. But with us playing Cats away and Wigan at home, it's two games where we probably wouldn't be expected to win anyway. Trying not to be negative, on the flip side it's obviously the best time to play and maybe surprise them.
We'll probably see the first choice 17 against Cas in Westys testimonial, and then use the Cup game to see the fringe first teamers featuring heavily.

So a short trip for our Round 3 fixture. Finally an away win?[/quote:1n3s8sju]
Just beat me to it
[quote="ComeOnYouUll":3f7m22j4]West Hull v St Helens in the Cup too![/quote:3f7m22j4]
That will be an amazing experience for the West Hull lads, a lot of these results will be one sided thrashings but it's a once in a lifetime for some of the amateur players getting to play against international players.
York Acorn v Hull has been confirmed for Saturday 8 February at 2pm, played at Featherstone.
West Hull v Saints is being played at Craven Park, Wests Warriors v Leeds is at Headingley and Goole v Wakefield is at Wakefield.
Bit of a farce, really.
