York City Knights : Mon Apr 20, 2015 10:01 pm  

What an exciting tie this is for the York City Knights fans, I believe they've already arranged a car share.

Meanwhile, their coaching staff have already started their preparations on how to deal with the human wrecking ball that is Mose Masoe by studying the 15 minute long compilation video of all his performances this season.

In all seriousness, it should be a nice, valuable week off for our lads this.

See you lot have got another easy run again

It's nice that we havn't got Superleague opposition for once, and with all due respect to York, we can rest a few players who are carrying knocks for this one, see how young lads go in their natural position perhaps? They may be in a lower league than us but a semi pro rugby player is still a fearsome sight for a 18/19 yr old to face

I would rest up Roby, Walmsley and Makinson for starters and bring in Mose as a Non Impact Prop to play 30mins each half.

Bailey to play full back and if Hewitt if available on the bench giving Walsh and Burns a 60 min spell each.

We play Catalans (Away) before and Hull (Away) after this cup game.

Yeah we always have it easy in the Cup...our first home draw since 2011, and 5 of our last 6 cup games have been away to Widnes, Wigan, Hull KR, Huddersfield & Leeds. Doesnt get much easier than that!!

Again?

Remind us all who Wigan played when you won it last.

Bit of respect please - some of us fans have already travelled to South Wales, London, Oxford, Keighley & Leigh so far this year with you lot, Swinton, Gloucester & Newcastle away all to come before the end of May!!

Is the game likely to be on the Friday night??

Saints home games generally are, but who knows. It's the cup so anything could happen. Should find out soon enough though.

Do you think we should make Mose captain and loose forward for this game, just to keep him on the pitch a bit longer.
