Clarence Street

I was suprised nobody mentioned where a lot of us were on the corresponding weekend last year along with a few pictures. I would have put 1 or 2 on but not savvy enough!! Toulouse ring a bell??

Couldn't agree more about the loss of Benny! I've just come home from having a chat with a pal of mine and I told him I could put my finger on the precise moment the Knights lost their potency in attack in my opinion. He said straight away what I was going to say. " When we lost Ben Cockayne". I've come home, put the forum on and there's Jon T., [coincidently my namesake by the way!], saying exactly the same thing. Incredible! I also agree it was a sad loss which was not and hasn't been and unfortunately won't be, easily rectified. As has been said in another post, it's early days yet and we've had two of our hardest looking tasks of the season already so I'm certainly not too worried yet. I've every faith in Fordy and Jon F. to get us there eventually.

Toulouse away should be our toughest game of the season and let's face it, we could have and maybe should have won. Taking all that into account it all bodes well for the season ahead. Having said that, it's a funny old game and it's a long season!

I'm afraid that name doesn't mean anything to me in the era you mention Roberto. The only Parkin I can remember played for York about 50 or 60 years ago.

If you could mention his name it might be a help.

Pity they couldn't hang on tothe lead but a good result none the less!

All the best to you both Peter! Hope you're ok soon and back in the swing!

Just read the Hull F.C. 2020 Preview in this week's League Express and I see they played the Knights in a match behind closed doors last Saturday! It was played in 4 quarters with tries by Johnstone, Naulago, Dawson-Jones, Shaul and Cam Scott clinching it for Hull. No mention if York scored any points but it did quote Lee Radford as saying Liam Harris has been fantastic in pre season, really catching the eye.

Horrible news on Look North tonight in the very emotional interview with Rob Burrow. Such sad news for one of rugby league's gentleman. Such a shock.

Hope you've saved me it David!

No. 3 filled by the guy I daren't believe we'd get!! Always admired him and never understood why Leeds let him go. Brilliant signing and a massive thanks to all involved in getting him on board. A real statement of intent! Well done!!

Radio York said this morning The Knights have said there's no sign of the stadium opening soon and the season will start at Bootham Crescent so it looks as though the Toronto game could well be played there too.

If we can afford to let someone like Harry go it shows how high we're aiming because I've always admired him. Good impact player but may be a tad injury prone?

I like a quiz now and again Andy. I'll have a stab at his initials first to make it even more of a puzzle. How about T.C.? [I don't mean my favourite cartoon character either!]
