Agree about York. Adam Robinson is definitely the type of prop we could do with. But their confidence throwing the ball about was great to see from a league one side. The York press were making issues of our celebrations and saying it wasn't warranted against a part time side but to my eyes there was plenty of SL experience in there! All in all a fantastic game, Joe Keyes really took the game by the scruff of the neck, was greatto see as all we have really seen from his days at London too was a running game. The talk of Lilley needs to be quietened for me as I feel him and Chis will be perfect. The main thing is over the last 3 seasons we would not in a month of sundays won that game. The Kear effect bearing fruit already

WTF is wrong with celebrating? It showed how good the team spirit is. It was a hard fought game irrespective of opposition. It’s not as if there was anything unsportsmanlike

Re: York Away : Tue Feb 20, 2018 10:36 am  

Agreed aboit Keyes taking the line on more. Didn't really see it last season (unsurprising considering the sh!th0us3 shot he took from Walshaw) hope it continues from him.

Regarding the celebrating, i thought it was fantastic. Not the moment we won it at the end, you'd expect that, but the way we celebrated forcing a knock-on, Steve Crossleys tr my etc. We looked like a team full of spirit and is really in this together which we will need in this division.

Too right.

They deserved to celebrate. That York team was the better one for large parts of the game and they had a few current and former SL players in their side too. Our squad is mostly part time so not sure what the complaints are about unless it's a few sour grapes.

We have a lot of new faces in the side so it's good we got the tough game out of the way for a couple of weeks and we can now work on those areas that need attention. We've a long way to go and there will be ups and downs along the way but we're at least on the up again.

York Press need to let us know the formula for deciding if we are allowed to celebrate a win. Against superleague or championship teams plus Keighley and Workington we are, against York and Donny we can a little bit and against Coventry we have to remain utterly silent with a poker face. Presumably the fans better not clap either. Utterly moronic thing to say.

^This

The team we faced had three full-time Hull KR players in it, plus the likes of Cockayne and Horne who were, until very recently, full-time SL players.

How many FT players were in our starting 13? Perhaps 7 or 8? Not so much of a difference when you look at it

Re: York Away : Tue Feb 20, 2018 2:56 pm  

The team spirit is very good within the squad. A lot of them are very good mates

My lad goes to Keyes's house for tea as well, I never get an invite

You should keep an eye on the company your lad is keeping - ask Keyesy to join you at yours.....

Just a quick follow up to this, I have a couple of extra programmes left over (me and my partner bought a few extras), will do them for £1 posted. Just drop me a PM if you want one. Thanks and best of luck for the rest of the season - don't think you'll need it though!
