York win 20-12

Re: Other Championship Clubs : Sat Aug 17, 2024 6:05 pm  

Whitehaven only able to name a 16 man squad for this weekend 's game. Three of those are on loan. Very sad situation I hope they can somehow find a way through their current problems, losing a professional club in Cumbria would be heart breaking

Totally agree, I got a soft spot for the club after our visit this year. I thought they had a great bunch of supporters .

I know that Bulls have done a couple of fund raiser initiatives to support Haven.

I wouldn’t be against the club doing something. I really hope haven can pull through.

That said… if a few clubs struggle then could that be an excuse to make one league out of the two and then have no relegation and look for clubs to improve and develop I’m under img and build that comp. Might not necessarily be a bad idea that to re-imagine and restructure the two leagues into one With a decent tv deal for a couple games a week and hunt for new sponsorship with a rebrand.

Great win for York btw. Seems Toulouse really upped their game for us and have been turned over twice since.

12-20 York, can't be long left now. We must have been really undercooked when we went over, or Toulouse blew their lot playing us and are now having a hangover.

OR Toulouse believe that they're going to be admitted to SL next season regardless of where they finish in the league and so aren't really putting the effort in .

But don't want to take anything away from the York City knights they played really well today and were worthy winners

Thought Joe Law had a very strong defensive game today making some copybook cover tackles, got back and protected his winger well after kicks. He put his hand up to take carries out of defence, didn't make too many metres, he hasn't really filled out into his frame yet, but he always found his front and got as quick a play of the ball as he was allowed by the referee, as other people have commented on this forum the play of the ball at Championship level can be frustratingly slow and not penalised by referees.(rant over).

They don't "know" any more than anyone else does.
Especially as some points to get them there are in the playoffs.

Didn't say they know said they believe, thats been obvious for a number of weeks if you listen to their coach's press conferences and read their owner's comments, Castleford also BELIEVE they will remain in SL

Dont know if there is anything in this, but the other day I was on the RFL website and there were no details regarding the grand final, such as the date etc.

Re: Other Championship Clubs : Sat Aug 17, 2024 9:55 pm  

I think we could name several clubs who believe they will be in SL mainly due to the fact of location or history.
