TBF we have scored more points than York and they scored more against West Wales so whilst I see where you are coming from re fluency the stats don't reflect this

The stats don't really tell an accurate story at the moment, because Bradford and York have played different opponents. The only time the stats have true meaning is at the end of the season when all else is equal.

Otherwise it could be argued that Keighley's attack was the best in the league, when after 3 games they'd played West Wales, Coventry & Hemel. Whereas Whitehaven's was rubbish after 3 trips to Bradford, York and Oldham. The league stat would say Keighley's attack is far better, but at the end of the season Whitehaven finish well above them and with a far superior points difference. (Note: Hypothetical scenario)

Ok what was the points difference at half way? Get your point but we are only 3 games past half way and one of those games was v York

Still not accurate though as Bradford have played teams at home that York have played away, and vice versa. It's a guide, but it's not an accurate stat.

The key thing for York is whether they have the same access to their regular loan/DR players for the next 7 games

Ok

I am glad that I am not paying to watch that, I would seriously borderline that with fraud,,,,,,absolutely disgusting

Re: Whitehaven (H) : Sat Aug 04, 2018 4:24 pm  

Very poor today. Well below par.

We bombed 5 clear chances near their line which would have extended our points difference. Also, Chisholm’s brain explosion in the first half deserves a ban. I was amanzed he stayed on the field.

Re: Whitehaven (H) : Sat Aug 04, 2018 4:44 pm  

I think your a tad harsh. Minchella made 3 mistakes today out of the 5 which is very unusual for him. We also nilled a team something we haven't done for a while.
