Swinton away

[georgeb1]

Good looking squad again , I think we will do it this time

[spanishknight]

Let's hope we can get our first league win of the season, halfbacks could be Keys and Wynne, yet another combination, be glad when we get a few more players back.

To be fair your defence will have to be top draw to stop them scoring they pass the ball along the line quickly from one side to the other and with ridyard the'ave got some one who still knows the game and is always a danger 

Having said that last week was a game of two halves in the first half we easily overrun them scoring five unanswered tries but in the second half when they had more ball than us only our outstanding defence kept them down to one try 

With the ball in hand they look a decent side who can play a bit of rugby so you will need DEFENCE DEFENCE DEFENCE to snuff them out 

[Toby The Tram]

Reckon he'll put Marsh back in the halves with Keyes for this weekend with Wynne starting at full back. What I wouldn't give to have a settled squad right now, hopefully we'll start to see that soon. Would also love Keyes to remain for the season so hopefully KR don't get any injuries in their halves.

Tough game this again as Swinton seem to pull results out of nowhere. We need to start to prove we are a top side in this league and that 2019 wasn't a one off. Hopefully we see the effort and desire in our Tour de France kit to get us over the line... preferably comfortably.

Won’t be an easy match, Swinton look a solid team. My hope for today, apart from the 2 points, is we look more dangerous in attack. Looking at the squad, 4 forwards on the bench though I expect Washbrook to interchange with Jubb.

No Keyes though. Really hope Dean and Marsh can click in the halves.

[Toby The Tram]

I can only assume Keyes is off back anyway after this game but Dean is more long term so he may be trying to get the halves settle. Some interesting choices to say the least just hope I won't be complaining come full time

[Toby The Tram]

Much, much, much better already attacking wise. Currently happy days

[Nige Arro]

Who's the team in the gold shirts??

[RBKnight]

Blimey, we look sooo much better than last week !

[YCKonstantine]

 Oh my god we're actually playing rugby!

[Toby The Tram]

What were we worrying about again? Means I can have a nice weekend again now and worry about where I'm going to park at the new stadium instead

[RBKnight]

34-0 at H/T ....... 

[DEANO]

Not bought this game but am following on Twitter. Doing great. Keep it up 2nd half

[RBKnight]

3rd clean break by Marcus Stock (who's having a great game) without any support - we could have had three more scores !

[Toby The Tram]

If I'm right, that's the most we've ever put past a team in the 2nd tier (since reforming as YCK)? Last best was 62-0 away at Oldham in 2006

[RBKnight]

Now looking forward immensely to the 1895 Cup Semi-Final draw on Wednesday 

[Puk]

Great team performance and nice to see our half backs running with the ball,again Marcus Stock showing that he can break tackles and make yards in open play,got to follow it up again next weekend

[spanishknight]

Thought Wynne and Dean had great games for the Knights and no one had a poor one for a change.

We beat Rochdale 60-0 back in 2019. Can’t remember any others off top of my head.

Not a great deal you can get for a fiver nowadays. And I'm looking forward to doubling my value by watching it all again when it pops up on-demand on the Our League site. 

[AB Knight]

Much better! First error I think was on 25mins, and first penalty conceded was on 37mins, can’t fault that. 

If I had to be critical support play in parts needs a lot more work - when Wynne made a break only Cuthbertson was in support though Wynne managed to round the Swinton player to the try line anyway. Plus Stock made 3 (?) breaks with no support. 

Kirmond was so much better such as the 2 on 1 play when I thought he was again going to go himself (like he did against Toulouse) but instead he did the right thing and passed to Marsh for the try.
 

Dixon great with his goal kicking. No one pushed into touch! Forwards all good, Wynne looked assured at fullback, Washbrook more involved, halves linked up well, Cuthbertson doing what he does best drawing players in instead of being first receiver every set. And yet I was concerned that first set of the game as we did 5 drives and a kick straight to the fullback. No need to worry 

How good was Marsh though?! Bit of confusion on his try tally, BBC have him on 4 tries whereas YCK Twitter says 5. I only counted 4.

Dewsbury next up will be a tough game, very tight pitch and they’ve started well.

[Nearenough]

that were better! well done to all concerned. when we play rugby we r bloomin good. little in the way of opposition today tho so that took pressure of defensively. onwards n upwards

Agree with that John, and Marsh seemed more assured than last week. Unlike the Sheffield game, we were getting ball out to our centres and quickly over ran the Lions.

I'll bet virtually all of us thought Marsh and Keyes would be paired, it just shows how highly rated young Dean is. Its a pity that his season has been so disrupted by the cup games. Well done everybody. 

[Clarence Street]

 

A big well done to all the Knight's players and staff for this afternoon's entertaining display and thank you for all the hard work that you've all obviously put in during the week.

I'd just like to add I prefer not to say the opposition were rubbish or "tripe" but they played as well as the Knights allowed them to play on the day. To me to suggest otherwise demeans the effort put in by the Knights.
