Sheffield sounded dire would be quite a statement now for us to be worst team in playoffs

Lucky to be ahead. Bench changing game. The six again rule is causing the ruck to be an absolute mess. York happy to give them away and us gaining no advantage. Didn't see anything to convince me Dee got ball down. Don't think ref did either but another farce of a rule meant it couldn't be overturned.

Whisper it quietly, but we looked like a proper play-off team tonight. First 30 minutes not perfect, but credit York who were at 100% completion rate. Second half we completely dominated them. Appo, Rogers and Doro were outstanding. Holmes try was as good as I've seen.

Bring on Toulouse.

We really grew into that game. I proper enjoyed it (after dreading it all week!)

Some strange decisions, but we played with a whole heart of belief and it showed.

And it's fantastic to win against York when it actually matters too.

Superb performance and result, Odsal was bouncing!

Can't believe we are in a play off semi final but there is a chance it will be a TV blackout.. come on RFL sort it out! If you're serious about having French sides in the league, the big games should at least be streamed!!

Not sure we are allowed if a viaplay game

Massive win! Great atmosphere and we finally won a home game on ViaPlay!

Rogers was immense during the second half and rightfully takes home the MOTM award. I also felt Doro, Appo, Lilley, Gaskell and Matongo went fairly well. George Flanagan also had his best game for some time and his spirit and passion was channeled perfectly. I felt we bullied the York side into submission during the second half and could have made it more flattering if the 50/50 forward pass calls were given.

One point I'd like to make is that this time last year we had just sold Thomas Doyle to Keighley. We lost 8 of our final 10 games and finished 9th after a truly dreadful season. We'd appointed an underwhelming and untested coach with the job of rebuilding after another season of disappointment. This year it’s different. This team is different. There is an aura of positivity behind the club at the moment. Toulouse are beatable, as we have proven this year. Next week we go to France with nothing to lose! The story continues...
