What’s this about an NRL club? Have to sign in to read - not doing that and having them think they have more fans than they do! (What’s hidden behind the locked forum…?)

I would stay well clear of that forum too they do not like the rugby club on there for some reason with quite some passion. After all it is not like we pay more rent but use the facilities less then them is it if it were the other way around then they really would have something to complain about. As for the nrl club what i have heard is and it could be all lies who knows is that a nrl club are interested in buying the club and the stadium too which would really get the football fans going. Also the people who currently own the club are asking for silly money to be bought out that is all i have heard like as been said if it is true the club will let us no if not somebody as got too much time on there hands.

Bad news regarding ben tibbs it looks like he is out for the rest of the season with a back injury picked up against the bulls lets hope joe can perform and fill the void.

Pleased to see JWH back in the squad although I'd rather he was given another weeks recuperation than be risked against a team we should be more than capable of beating.

A fairly comfortable win. Looked to me that Brad Knowles was complaining to the ref about being bitten. Bring on Bradford. What happened with York?

Did what we had to do and scored some good tries. It just about makes us certain of 3rd barring some big upsets and will give us the luxury of resting players in our last 2 games if we choose to so we go in to the playoffs fresh. Ive just got a sneaky suspicion that we will make the final against Leigh, as good as I think Fev are, with their injuries and troubles I just think if we go over there with a full team we will beat them. Then we just need Leigh to get 5 players sent off and we can look forward to SL next season.

Bit of a 2nd/3rd gear performance at times and as often been the case this season we struggle to motivate ourselves against the so called lesser teams . Really happy to see Knowles back and he made some strong carries and put in some big hits , with the squad closing to the end of the season in pretty good shape there’s gonna be some tough decisions selection wise to make in the playoffs especially in the pack . I could really do with a huddshay style moniker to finish on , cup of Yorkshire tea with some hob nobs , mmm ,

While difficult to argue against anyone who scores 4 tries being MOM , my vote would have gone to Jouffret who was steady at the back and electric when he moved into the attack, always looking likely to create something with extra pace and vision. If JWH out for any length of time would definitely persevere with him at fullback. Echo what's been said about Knowles- he brings same sort of punch and enthusiasm as Gwaze- really hope both are signed up for next season.

Walmsley did much much more than just score 4 trys. He was everywhere today took the first runs tome and time again. His defence efforts were fantastic and he did it over over again.

Mixed bag with some good moments and plenty of effort and intent just our timing seemed a bit off on some of the plays that let us down.
Not sure why Arundel was switched to the left when he and Aston had been so effective against Sheffield.
One more win will guarantee 3rd spot with virtually a full squad to choose from going into the play offs so pretty good overall.
