Bit surprised that York are so far down the bookies list - maybe they know something we don't.

The York odds are ridiculous. The same thing happened when Barrow were promoted for the 2009 season. I got 50/1 on us each way for the NR Cup. OK, we didn't win it, but I got 25/1 for us reaching the final.

How can Keighley (with no coach) and Oldham be half the odds of York ??

Barrow are worth a punt at 10/1 although we face 3 Championship clubs in the groups (good old RFL). Halifax have an easy route to the Quarters facing three Championship 2 teams in the group. Even so, 7/2 for them isn't worth the gamble IMO.
