don’t think Holmes will be anywhere near 9

No. The interchange hookers we have are Barraclough (first team debut?) and Lilley (would need to change around the halfback combination). Neither is ideal

Although Lilley having a spell at Hooker was what it looked like we planned last week, Jowitt going off just brought it forwards

Greenwood has said that GFS isn't ready to return, this leaves us with no out and out Hooker that has played this year. I would expect Lilley at 9, Holmes and Gaskell in the halves with Tindall at Fullback. This just leaves us short with an interchange hooker, unless Barraclough plays.

Greenwood’s interview was Wednesday when he said he wasn’t ready start, I’m not sure this entirely rules him out today

London making a statement today. Wow!

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.

Why lie?

good result in the end

... toulouse up next ....... if by some miracle we win in the south of france and london turn fev over, we will be at home to london for the SL spot

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.
