Then and now : Fri Sep 06, 2013 6:31 am
I have always been a glass half full man myself and looking back at the 2013 season compared with the perceived 'golden days' of 2012 it seems that 2013 was not quite as bad as it was supposed. We won exactly the same number of games in 2013 as 2012 (8) but lost the 'extra games' as there were 26 games in 2013 as opposed to 18 in 2012. We have two more points in 2013 (33) whereas in 2012 we only managed 31 points. The 2012 season stats are in brackets and all refer to the Championship:Points scored per game – 18.9 (21.9)
Points conceded per game – 27.6 (20.4)
Tries Scored – 86 (71) Top try scorer – Paul White 13 (Craig Moss 10)
Goals scored – 66 (57) Top goal scorer – Scott Leatherbarrow 53 (Danny Lawton 37)
Biggest wins – Home to York 34-0, away to Whitehaven 52-18
Biggest defeat – away to Leigh 12-62
York and Hunslet finished bottom of the league in 2012 with 7 and 10 points but were not relegated. This season they were relegated with 26 and 30 points.
