Agree with much said above. Sheffield lost two to injuries and the yellow with about 9 minutes to go helped us. We sat at the end where all the points were scored. An astonishing game

Well done and congratulations on what must have been a spectacular second half.

Cheers- it was one hell of a turnaround.
It's too early to say but if we stay up it'll be that second 40 minutes that saved us!

Maybe play there every week? Sure Hughes can afford the rent on five grounds as he isn't investing in the squad. Bongser has special reason to root for you next time out though it will be a hard ask.

Craven Cottage Crystal Palace Sports Centre Barnet Copthall Hendon FC Chiswick Polytechnic The Stoop, Twickenham The Hive, Barnet Ealing Sports Ground Maybe we'll play them at Wimbledon soon. We never went to Brentford or Charlton either. ..... It might not be just down to the venue, just seen the "highlights" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sbbq8BhsOg (nothing but tries are apparently a "highlight" in RL) and you were playing in black. Perhaps Dead Cowboys has been right all along?

Mark Aston was rather angered by his teams second half performance. I should imagine that the coach trip home was not a barrel of laughs.

I'm struggling to find a bigger second half comeback across all league competitions. If that had been us (and we've come close to such implosions this year...Widnes last week anyone?) I would expect Hughes to have a hiatus fit........

Real feel good energy around the comms following this result. Imagine what might have been if we put in a decent 40 minutes against either Widnes or Whitehaven at the start of the season...and, of course, if we’d had any comms strategy at that time. All a learning curve isn’t it?

It was crazy wasn’t it. I was still trying to process what I’d seen in the first half as our 2nd try went in.
