Derwent

Both clubs will be in the lowest band for the new Championship salary cap next season. That means they have £250k for a 25 man squad plus "Rugby related staff" such as coaching staff, physio etc. Neither club will be able to pay very much to any player next year.

Newcastle will have a 5 man squad next year on their £250k salary cap.

There was a suggestion that they hadn’t their players on time last month, but it’s just unconfirmed speculation.

If we assume that we will be in the lowest salary cap band next year then it’s difficult to see how there can be any improvement on what we already have.

54 years of supporting Town and I’ve never been as uninterested. Sorry to disappoint you.

Does anyone actually care anymore ? This league is just so “meh”, a complete waste of time. Beat Barrow, lose to Barrow, makes no difference does it ? In other news, our neighbours went away to Midlands today and pulled off a shock win. Ciaran Walker again their star player, scored 22 of their 30 points. I’m still confused why we let that lad go just to replace him with worse players, a rubbish decision.

Folding like a cheap deck chair now, 26-6 to Dewsbury

Just ignore them, I mean even our Chairman came out publicly and said it was a shocking, unacceptable performance and they were holding a team meeting to have an honest discussion about it.

Bear Williams was originally named at 13 on the team sheet but Callum Farrer was taken ill during the warm up, so Bear moved up to prop with Jammer coming into the starting line up at 13 and Grant moving from 18th man to the bench.

That’s fine and I can accept players not having ability, but you look at some of the tries conceded today and they’re down to lack of defensive effort and that’s unforgivable. Some of them aren’t exactly “putting their bodies on the line” for the cause.

Donaghy’s attempt at a tackle here, absolutely pathetic.

To be 46-4 down at half time is shameful.

24-0 after 15 minutes

It’s not wrong it’s just meaningless. Like the other code calling themselves ‘the game they play in heaven’. Meaningless drivel.

York promoted to L2 after scoring in the 13th minute of injury time to draw at Rochdale.
