2025 Pre Season Friendly

[Yorkie-Girl]

l see that many of our Championship opponents have arranged preseason friendly games for the 2025 season ie Fev, Bradford, Widnes, Halifax, Sheffield, Oldham, Doncaster. I believe Hendo was not keen to play friendlies last season but looking at our fixture list for this season would it not be a good idea to play at least one?

Whoever York draw, the Knights will play their Round Two tie out in early February having double-booked themselves in for a friendly against Hull KR in Amsterdam on the weekend above.

We have drawn Keighley away shouldn't be a issue to move the game to a week earlier,obviously the RFL didn't think about the friendly with Hull KR when deciding to have the challenge cup on the same weekend.

Early February, apparently. Though this will need to fit around the 1895 somehow.

They did, and thought it was ok (which it will be).
