I don't buy in to the make or break element to this game. 


Lose (which seems fairly likely) and it doesn't mean the season is over, we can still work toward a big end of season finale. The season is over when we lose in the play-offs. 
Win and likewise it doesn't make us champions, it's a building block to the play-off series. Likely we'll face York in those again too. 


I agree it has been a disappointment on the field given the last two seasons and positive recruitment for this year. 


However, 3 x 3rd place finishes if nothing else is consistent and we have been crying out for a move away from boom - bust - boom - bust. 


Other facets to the club and running of it suddenly take on equal importance alongside the playing element, so maybe slow and steady wins the race to SL?

Well York are a much better side than us this year.  Better drilled and tougher up the middle.   In the games we've played against them we've lost up front and then tried to take the easy option and been punished each time.  They have the balance perfect with the ability to do the tough stuff but then have a really slick end to their sets - we can do that occasionally but we often have a really scruffy end to our sets.  As a result we don't keep sides under pressure.   If I see us hand the ball over on the 6th again I'll do myself a mischief - it's just so poor.  

I wouldn’t say better, I would say fewer injuries overall, fewer injuries during games and therefore more consistent. 

I think I'm correct in saying we lost by 8 points in the cup and 2 points in the league? Very frustrating, disappointing etc but not a million miles off. I totally agree that York are the form team and our play both defensively and in attack is lacking something but a win is not beyond this group of players. Having said that i expect a loss, but the last two games v York I expected a win, so hopefully I'm wrong for the third time. Regardless I'll be making the trip over because if we manage to upset the form book it'll be bloody brilliant.

Oh I'll definitely be there.  Just a bit concerned that our form has dipped and we've made hard work of beating Hunslet and Batley so we'll need to raise our game significantly.
