[quote="B0NES":2yhiuatm]When the cricket scores are coming in over the weekend , I can see all eyes will be turning towards IMG and Tony Sutton again .[/quote:2yhiuatm] But on the flip slide York got a record attendance due to Rovers visiting and it seems Sheffield gave Wigan a game in the 1st half and Halifax have just kept Catalan to 14 points. I like the idea of SL teams being forced to play at lower league teams but they need to somehow find a format where the 12 'best' get drawn against the 12 SL sides. I'm never good enough at maths to work it all out and there's quirks like Toulouse don't enter to consider.

[quote="mwindass":3rzdsfpr]That's depressing [/quote:3rzdsfpr] Last SL win - Wigan 20/07/2024 - 203 days Last SL away win - Rovers 09/07/2023 - 580 days Last SL win outside of Hull - Warrington (Magic) 04/06/2023 - 615 days Last 50 point score in SL - Leigh 19/06/2021 - 1330 days Doesn't time fly when you're having fun?

Suppose for a bit if context Saints only put 38 past West Hull with a side containing the likes of Welsby, Sailor, Hurrell, Bennison, Murphy, Bell and Whitley. Well done to West Hull though must have been a good experience for them and it sounds like they gave a good account of themselves.

Wasn’t able to get there today but listened to most of it. Sounds like Martin, Barron, Balmforth, Cust played very well today along with involvements of Asiata, Ashworth & Westerman. Sounds like Balmforth is pretty fit now too playing at 9 and in then in halves. Credit to York though as they certainly gave it a go and made us work for the win. Through to next round, got some pts on the board and without injury so for me that’s very much job done. I’m sure there’ll have been things JC will have seen that he liked and disliked and will have them working on the not so good stuff ready for the trip to France.

I don't want to see Briscoe getting in on just reputation, though I do think he has something offer as a squad player. Cust is looking a shrewd signing after all the head scratching when we went in for him.

Cartwright confirmed no injuries picked up. The players have tomorrow and Monday off. Training Tuesday and Wednesday then travelling to France on Thursday.
