She must have taken over from our favourite ref as the regular at the LNER. At least the guys should be used to her by now and know what she is / isn't looking for. Personally I think she is pretty good and keeps the game flowing.

Bringing my 91yo dad to this for his first visit to the LNER. Will go to the memorial wall to pay respects to his brother Norman, before hopefully enjoying a Knights win. The club have been first class in sorting tickets, parking etc and we're really looking forward to it. 

He and his brother have been fans all of their lives and Norman was a VP of the club for many years and sponsored matchballs and players over the years.

I agree she lets the game flow, but she ignores offsides. Also, see how many Captains challenges she gets, but what's more, see how many are successful.

[cookesp]

Glad to see Hudson in the squad. We need his energy going forward.

Whats Instagram?

We’ve got a good squad to beat Huddersfield who look like they have a few injuries.

We need this win as it’s a very tough run of games after. 

Like CookeSP said, it’s good to have Hudson back. Some strong carries and tackles.

I’m going for a 28-20 win.

Wonder what’s up with Jesse, he was so desperate to get back into the action last week after his eight week lay off. Hope he is ok and good to go next week.

The rumours are he had an infection 

[HaxbyKnight]

If we could get points for all the rumours flying about, we'd be top of the league!.

Straight swap, Hudson on the bench for Jesse. Still not sure about Ata on the bench though, does he add anything?

Fair point , either start ata at 6 or don't bother

Liam Harris doesn't seem to get any mentiions lately, Amazing how they've both seemingly gone out if favour after being such a force for the past 2 years. It probably underlines the difference between the Championship and Super League.

Don’t think Harris not going to away games and jetting off to Italy every weekend does him any favours

Fixtures remaining - 

 

KNIGHTS - 

 

Huddersfield (H)

St Helens (H)

Leigh (A)

Warrington (A)

Leeds (H)

Wakefield (A)

Catalans (A)

Bradford (H)

 

 

GIANTS - 

York (A)

Hull (H)

Catalans (H)

Toulouse (A)

Warrington (A)

Leigh (H)

Hull KR (A)

Castleford (H)

 

If we can beat Huddersfield that means we would be 10 points clear of them with 7 to play = 14 points on offer. Looking at the fixtures we should not come bottom.

But with IMG it probably doesn't matter where we come.

ok ive asked AI what the IMG scores will be next year. so we dont have to faff about thinking about it, AI said:

 

12th= hudds 13.15

12th= york 13.15

14th london 12.8

15th TO 12.5

 

so it must be true.

A lot will depend on who rests players towards the end of the season once their league position is confirmed

No I haven’t forgot anything he won us the game at Wembley and dragged us through some games single handedly and was a brilliant captain on and off the field  but he hasn’t shown any of that this year.Captains don’t go around sulking after getting dropped and stop turning up to the games jet off to other countries on match weekends.
