CLINICAL York cruised into the third round, clinching a plum home tie against Hull KR this Friday.
Mark Applegarth’s Championship side recently beat Rovers 26-12 in the pre-season Amsterdam Challenge, which led to the 20th second-round tie taking place the weekend after the others.
And while the Super League club will surely field a stronger line-up, with the professionalism of this performance, the Knights suggested they could provide them with a tough test under the LNER Stadium floodlights.
