    2 Ps has been given a one match penalty notice for the trip against Batley, wonder what he'll get for the high tackle.

    No further action.

    Yes tough away fixture just got tougher after our dip in form and injuries, hopefully Ronan Dixon to return at prop and with nothing to lose might be a good week to bring in Toby warren into the back row, hopefully a decent showing but not expected to pick up anything but experience from this one😀😀😀

    Tobykolo was in the hospitality lounge on Monday night with a big knee brace on. I'm no doctor but I think his season is done.

    After last week York showing their League position is cuertosy of having the 'easy' fixtures early doors, both players and coach getting plaudits that they are not deserving, It is now up to York to show what they are made of, lose this and their season is over.

    How very melodramatic. 

    After playing everyone once in the league this year we lost against Leigh, Fev & Halifax and beat everyone else - including Batley, Barrow, Bradford and Sheffield on their own patch. Easy fixtures early doors is a complete myth.

    The 2013 World Cup was held in Great Britain, Ireland and France, not just England therefore that particular world cup saw games played in other countries, this one isn't so won't be.

    I know, I just said that.

    You don't hear football, cricket or RU fans complaining that a world cup not in their country means they can't watch games locally!!.

    It was a perfectly reasonable comment from a casual fan considering the last time the tournament was over here, that's exactly what happened.

    In what way? the World Cup is in England therefore all games are being played in England, i'm sure PNG, Jamaica etc would like their group games to be played locally too, unfortunately that's not how World Cups work.

    It was in 2013 and 2017.

    Sadly that's not how this particular World Cup has been funded, but it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility.

  6. I get that it won't be the same for every club, but currently for York City Knights the strategy works well.

    We've trialled double headers where the Ladies have played both first and last, and the feedback from them is that they very much prefer to play first while more of the crowd filters in.

    They played a standalone fixture at the LNER earlier this year too which had a healthy attendance of around 900, and I'm quite sure that there will be more next year, hopefully with a post-RLWC-winning bounce.

    The Ladies team is a massive part of the Knights now, long may it continue.

    ...by the way 3rd in the table is only a flattering number.

    No it isn't. We're third because we've won more games than 11 other teams. Thats how it works.

    I'm obviously in a minority but I have always liked SL as a term....sure in women's soccer and netball it's used but is unique still in men's sport

    Apart from Turkish football and the Pakistan T20 Cricket comps.

    Tbf domestic ice hockey has pretty much got a monopoly on Elite League and it doesn’t seem to have done much for their visibility 

    And Speedway...

    You think? About 20 odd games for £40/50 a month ?

    I'd pay that, but in return I'd want:

    • - WatchNRL
    • - Every SL game
    • - Championship game of the round & highlights
    • - Occasional L1 games & regular highlights
    • - WSL game of the round & highlights
    • - Internationals
    • - Podcasts/Magazine shows
    • - Highlights from France, USA, 9s etc...

    And I'd want it all in HD, available on AppleTV and on demand.
