York City Knights vs Halifax RLFC
The National Rugby League , RFL Rugby!
YORK City:
YORK City Knights woke up in the Championship drop zone today after a 66-10 hammering at title contenders Leigh.An even starker reality is that this time next week they could be relegated unless they get something from Thursday’s televised clash with Halifax.
Defeat yesterday was expected by all but the most optimistic of supporters, given the substantial gap between the top and bottom of the league. York City Knights vs Halifax RLFC
However, the Knights had hoped to kick on from last week’s improved display against Featherstone, the joint leaders with Leigh, and the fact they instead went backwards again – thanks to the worst defence in the league again – was the most annoying element for the fans that travelled, even when accounting for the difference in age and expense between the two sides.
