Back row or centre, John. I agree about young Tom and he was telling me he loved his time at York but, as said, has to do what's right for him. Also holds Jubby up as something of a hero.

Tom Inman told me he has accepted an offer from Halifax. Ryan King understood to be going there too.

Toulouse away first, nailed on!

The more I think about it, I'm sure I know where my money is....

I think the timing of the announcement might be a pointer - four weeks?? Period of worked notice or end of the RLWC??

Got tickets for Jamaica v Ireland, Fiji v Italy (so I can sing along to the Italian National anthem), Samoa v Greece, Wales v PNG, Tonga v Cook Islands, the Huddersfield QF which should feature the Aussies and the Ladies semi-finals. Telly will do for the rest. Can't wait..

C'mon lads, keep up, I'm answering me own questions here - David Gillespie - severed his finger in a work accident prior to the Aussies coming over to us.

'You're just a team full of overseas players' doesn't sing quite as well as 'Team full of Aussies, you're just a team full of Aussies' 1980's we had Marketo, Willey, Martin, Carter, Pethybridge, Dreier and Windshuttle - albeit not all at the same time - and it should have included Phil Gould and another Aussie who went on to international honours but his name slips me but they got injured and didn't come over.

Cas fan!

Dee plays back row too and had a game at half back for Thunder before he got injured if memory serves..

Where would a press release fit best, Nige? Serious question.. The Press, radio, Knights website, FB, Twitter?

Plus I hear Bulls are down to bare bones ???

I only glanced last night but don’t think we can, inferior points diff.

C’mon lads, chin up. Newcastle’s last home game tonight as a pro team and they put a big shift in. Lots of work gone into Hingano as a central pivot and he’s gone after two minutes. Ronan just made an impact and then went off injured. Listen to Fordy’s after match with me if you need a bit of context. Also he tells it like it is. “Did you think the play 5’s were improved?” “No!” A wins a win, we get two points and if London do Barra next week, we go to Batley - winnable. Anyway every chance our wonderful Ladies will put a smile on our faces today...

Knowing you lads, if you go for an entertainer at half back, he'll be pension-age!

The game needs entertainers and he is one.

No, we haven't! And Fordy mentioned Horney after the game..

Try telling Tubby. I can't repeat his thoughts... I thought he was very poor, sadly.

123 and Gloves is in the frame.

Don't go upsetting them Batley lads. You'll be telling them Gilmore is coming to York next!

Them Batley lads too busy worrying what's happening elsewhere, Gav. Three defeats on the bounce - Linners out, surely!

Never easy describing 'your team' getting a pasting but, let's be fair, Leigh were sensational - it was a joy to watch rugby league played like that and watching Ipape and Amone and Asiata just made me think how good the RLWC will be. To be honest and it hurts a bit to say it, but even from the highlights, you can see the players who just weren't on it on Sunday, for whatever reason. Thanks for listening, particularly if you stuck it through to the end. Young Brad was chucked in at the deep end with me but the kid did OK - not easy, for all the reasons above.

There you go, fellas. 'Highlights' are up. 17 Leigh tries to go at... Fordy's not falling off tackles, missing tackles, out of position etc etc Have a good look, it's not pretty... Be interested to know what the guys think who weren't there once they've seen it....
