AB Knight 1,472 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) This one won't be easy, like us Newcastle are on a good run of form. Also I wasn't convinced by Lingard's pre match Keighley comments about having the better strike players out wide, but on this occassion Newcastle genuinely do have some very good strike players out wide - Tuoyo Egodo, Theerapol Ritson and Lewis Young. Our only ever present this season, Connor Robinson, will possibly miss this one along with Tim Spears. Hope Chris Siddons is back to add some leadership as Spears will be a big loss. Also I wonder who will partner Cockayne, is it a run out for Liam Jackson or can we get Matty Marsh on DR? I think this will be our most difficult home test since the Bradford match, Newcastle have half decent support so I hope we can push for a 1500 crowd. I'm going for York by 16.

I would like to see thiabault Frank used at halfback if Connor does miss out, quite agree this will be a very tough one played in front of 1589 very passionate fan's Up the kneets 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HaxbyKnight 778 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 Thunder have won their last 4 games, but three of those were against the bottom 3 teams. I don't doubt it will be a tough game, but the Knights are good enough to take the points. I'll take them to win by 20. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Matty marsh or will dagger included in rovers line up on Friday so could be useful additions with Connor Robinson probably not playing this weekend, also would help with racking up the five games needed to feature in later league matches. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO for much of the match Thunder looked the better side and it was only our tight defence that kept us in it at times. We sorely missed the leadership of our senior players and the guile of Connor . Having said all that we did well to find a way to win against a very determined Thunder. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
