    Cheers Rogues.

    I’ve been to one or two of these games in the past. Couldn’t recommend it enough, they are brutally hard fought and are cracking games to watch for a rugby fix in the off season

    He has a few kids, think his eldest is cooper who used to play in the same team as my cousin. He was always talked of being leagues above the other kids, they’d not get a hand to him.

    Great first half, enjoyed that more than 90% of the games sky showed last year. Hardly any handling errors, quick ruck, no trying to milk pens and no referee blowing the pea out his whistle.

    I can see why Leeds brought that Mclelland back from Union, he looks a class player. Impressed with Holroyd up front and the fullback as well for Yorkshire.

    Good game so far Yorks lads deserve the lead at half time



    I was always taught to respect my elders,
    but it keeps getting harder to find one!

    Very enjoyable. Aussies looked a bit more athletic whereas Yorkshire more forward based. Surprisingly Harry Newman and Morgan Smithies did not play for Yorkshire, I wonder if they're being held back for the England game at Leigh next week.
    It'll be interesting to see the Lancashire team that is picked for Saturdays game and if they too hold a couple of players back.

    Good first half, but Lancashires right edge looks very weak defensively. 14 - 8 to the Aussies.

    It finished 30 - 18 to the Aussies.

    I jut hope England bring Harry Smith, Morgan Smithies, Harry Newman and Sam Walters into the squad for next Saturdays squad.

    No both were only 2nd year this year, 3rd in 2019.
    None played for for either Yorks or Lancs which makes me think they have been held back for the test matches. There may be more but those are the ones I've sen who looked top class.

    To answer F & C. no.
    Smith and Smithies are Wigan academy players (Smithies is from Yorkshire) Newman is from Leeds academy and has played 1st team for them, Walters is an outstanding back forward who plays for Widnes.

    Get down there and give your support, we'll be in the legends bar from around 12:30 if anyone wants a good rugby discussion. I believe the R.L World Cup will be on display in there.
