The last few times I have been the small stand and the stand behind the posts are the only stands open. 

See ya tomorrow Gary?

I really hope Thunder can once more establish themselves and make progress, but for today all sentiment has to go out of the window. The Knights must win very handsomely if we are to progress into the knockout stages of the 1895 cup. If we win both group games then it won't matter, but if we do lose to Wakefield next week, and they will be huge favourites, then we must be the highest placed second placed team. Today gives us the best possible chance to achieve that, we must seize it.

Good start to the season, well played everyone

Well done to the boys, not bad for a first hit out and credit to Thunder, scoring the first and last tries in the game. I really hope they can kick on from here and compete in League 1, I hear down the grapevine we might be sending a couple of guys this season, if that’s true, great, and hopefully will benefit both the Thunder who will get some experience and the Knights players who will get game time, as long as it is NOT dual reg, longer term loan deals are the way to go.

I know you can only play what's in front of you but apparently it was most of the local uni team, was talking to one of their teams dad's beforehand. Didn't really learn anything from watching it apart from some of our lads have spent a lot of time lifting weights by the look! 

Look forward to next week to see where we are, hope the injuries we picked up aren't serious.

Looking forward to seeing the highlights. Some great tries. Tommo’s kick and chase stood out for me. 

[Roger York]

Some great try’s yesterday and good individual performances.

Will dagger looked class his second try was a belter.

A lot has been made about the new play the ball rules but I don’t think there was 1 penalty blown for this and we only conceded 2 penalties all match which were both late in the second half hopefully we can carry this discipline on.

Big test against Wakefield next week hopefully a big crowd and a cracking game.

Can we be expecting any highlights?
