Feel we have been a bit over-rated by the bookies after running Wakey close, a game that could go either way, I'll go Giants by 4

[Thunder Road]

Huddersfield. Just

[OMEGA]

I think the giants will snatch this in a close game

You did beat them very comfortably at Easter too I suppose. I think it will be tight, but Huddersfield to edge it.

I'm hoping for a York win, but this game could go either way. 

[daz39]

We are the kings of Magic, so ...i think we may win.

[Josef K]

Huddersfield by 8. Going on last week there is an improvement from them. I win by York would be a cracker. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

York by 12.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I'm saying York for this one but I think it will be close. York by 4.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Good start to Magic coverage. Sam Tomkins kicking a ball into a stewards head.

Those kits are almost identical apart from one yellow hoop.

[Just Browny]

Black and white hoops v black and pale violet hoops.

Who on earth approves the strips that clubs propose wearing?

At least it helps that York don't have their hoops on their back also.

Has to be someone at the RFL, no?

[paulwalker71]

It's actually quite hard to tell which team is which with these strips

Such an easy thing to get right...

[Archie Gordon]

Flanagan's gotta be penalised there.

Apart from they are totally different from the back and totally different from the front you may have a point.

[WN83]

Does a voluntary tackle exist anymore? Serious question because they just don't get picked up, so I've no clue.

Yes that's just about the only saving grace. When Nofoaloma made that half-break though with a Huddersfield player chasing, it really looked like it was a York player alongside him.

this is the kind of thing that is so simple, but brings the sport into absolute ridicule. Humiliating error.

[Jeff Stein]

When I was involved with an amateur club a couple of decades ago I had to check with my counterpart before each game that there was no clash of kits. This is utterly unprofessional.

Totally different from the front is quite the take to have
