KNIGHTS head coach Mick Cook will not be piling the pressure on his players ahead of next week's possible title-winner at Hunslet.

Yesterday's 60-12 home win over London Skolars put the Knights just one step away from National League One with the knowledge that just one more win will guarantee them the title.

Said the laid-back coach: "It would be nice to win next week so it's all over but we have got another two games left after that if we need them. What's more important is that we stick to our game-plan and get things right.

"I won't be putting any pressure on them to win the game apart from getting things a bit better."

Yesterday's win was not as comfortable as it sounds with the Knights trailing 12-6 at one point and Cook said he was eager to stamp out the lax ball handling and other unforced errors which made life hard for them.

He said: "We were a bit careless at times. Passes were being forced and you get carried away sometimes trying to make that line break. You try to force the pass but sometimes you can afford to take the tackle. It's just a little bit frustrating.

"What's important is that we learn from this week and that we don't do that next week against Hunslet. They are up there in the top six and they are a real physical side so some of our ball security will need to be strengthened."
