They didn't use their DR players, as I understand it. If they were learning any lessons from that game it would seem to have borne fruit in the following one.....

The 19 for London



Bulls squad: Chisholm, Crossley, Egodo, Flanagan, Garside, Grant, Green, Halafihi, Johnson, Kirk, Lilley, McNally, Milton, Minchella, Oakes, Peltier, Pickersgill, Ryan, Wood.

Those lessons being, "KR's players are better than ours"?



York have lost access to a couple that played against the Bulls now. Josh Johnson and Jordan Walne have gone to Leigh on loan. Since Craig Hall and Ben Crooks have come in though, York may get a couple of the fringe three quarters from KR instead.

Is Hallas injured or just left out?

Left out I think.

Errm, no - The lessons being that the KR players were better than the ones York substituted for them against London - thus explaining why they only beat them by the same two points as in our game.

By ours, I meant from a York POV. So yes, the lesson being that KR's players are better than York's. I didn't mean better than Bradford's, although to be fair, I think they probably are.

You have got to feel a little bit sorry for those York players who played against London, and then were preparing for probably the biggest game of their career to date the following week, just to be told they were dropped as some KR players who were coming in on loan, for one game (apparently).

Well they will get a game this week now the KR players have been moved on to Leigh.

Yeah. [size=50Shame it wasn't a week earlier really.[/size

Scored some good tries (Chisholms was a cracker) but far too many schoolboy errors again. 2 hospital passes to Ethan in our own 30. So frustrating at times. Its a small pitch, we can kill them with off-loads.



Also with Hallas last week proving to anyone who had any doubt that he's not a hooker, Halafihi having a dodgy start today, i really question the decision to let Butterworth go.
