Absolute brilliant effort by the players last night against a top 4 side and with the injuries we are carrying at the moment,did notice that Newcastle named a 20 man squad for today's game against Batley and Andy did ask Applegarth why Vuniyayawa wasn't involved with the squad last night but seemed reluctant to answer the question and as we are so short of home grown players in the knights squad can't we actually go and sign a couple from Newcastle ie Reynolds and Antrobus that come to mind to bolster our squad for the rest of the season and the knights can always loan them back to Newcastle when the knights don't require them.

The way i understood it if the player is named in the knights squad for a Thursday and Friday night game that same player can't be named for Newcastle for the weekend,not sure if the RFL have changed the rule about the loan system since the season started.

Think it's a bit to early in the season to be talking about Macca and BJB playing again next season even though both have started the season in great form.

Thought it was a solid performance last night and our kicking was excellent especially in the first half,thought Dee showed up well with field again excellent in defence and what i have seen of Hunter in the 2games he has played for the knights he is going to take some shifting from the team even if Harris and Richardson are fit.

Thought Hunter had a great super league debut debut and hopefully he will be involved again next week ,but i thought the two half backs were the difference between the two sides and shows what money buys you and if we can stay in super league this season we will get the the full funding for next season and we can certainly bring in more quality of player to go with the talented squad we have now.

Field for Buchanan,littlewood for field,Griffin for cook with Balmforth,Martin,Hudson and Buchanan on the bench and cook as 18th man was a close call between Buchanan and cook for the final place on the bench.

I watched him a bit last season for Salford and he was certainly a lot better than what we have seen in a knights shirt so far.

Signing Ronan back would short term give us another British based player to pick from and agree that Santi is only a good championship player at best.

Thought we were slow out of the blocks again at the beginning of the game and our passing and discipline was poor today can't keep giving teams set restarts time after time and expect to win games needs to be sorted out.

Think the time to leave Sangare out of the team is next week he's not bringing anything to the team at the moment,thought law had a decent game at centre and Harrison scored a good try,I'm not sure we had another forward to put on the bench,but would have liked Smith given a run out on the wing with Harrison at fullback.

Is it from the club or the RFL ?

To be fair radio York did a knights special on Wednesday and do like to cover a lot of sports teams in the York and surrounding area and all the football matches for City,Harrogate and Scarborough are massive this weekend and I'm not saying that the knights game isn't as a semi final place is up for grabs,let's hope we can pull a result tomorrow and then I'm sure Radio York will give the knights a big slice of the program on Monday night.

Apart from Sangare who would change for Sagaga.

How many players from Newcastle who aren't cup tied can be made available for the game?

Not heard the post match interview with Applegarth yet surprised to hear that from Applegarth if he has come out with that comment.
