So there’s no trip to Vegas or Sydney
But at least they got a challenge match against York in Rotterdam.

If there's one depressing statistic to come out of tonight, it's the fact that only four clubs have now won the last 35 rugby league titles, going all the way back to Widnes in April 1989.

The game really does need someone to shake up what seems to be an entrenched established order, just as long as the someone isn't them

I don't want to dwell on their misfortune but is the customary plucky losers homecoming event still going ahead?

The last one wasn't that well attended I seem to recall.

the most commen factor in those winners, they produced /produce their own, even Bradford had home produced players, quick fix buying still not the magic solution

Joe Westerman on Twitter tonight doing more fishing than Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer.

Good lad is the Yorkshire rimmer

Hope Joe Burgess picks up a ban for his disgusting challenge on Nsemba but get the feeling it will be swept under the carpet.

Will be very telling the way it is dealt with?

I think the battle for the top 6 has been one of the best in recent years .I hope we get the same again next season.

Ryan Hall summed it all up when he said Rovers fell in love with themselves at half time against Wire. Open training during grand final week showed they’d not listened to him at all. Their best player tonight by some margin.

Coach of the year and man of steel awards shown for what they are.

Agree, it has been but the winner was all to predictable. We are not going to be in the top 6 but I hope we can get somewhere near it. I'll be satisfied with that but that's a big challenge.

We will be in top 6 next year
Apart from top 3 this season the rest are more than catchable
Still question kr to maintain that level , I really think they’re going to be under a lot of pressure next year.

Just seen that I'd have him back tomorrow just for that

How Lewis and Burgess didn't see a card during the game is baffling, a blatant tip tackle and a forearm direct to the head have been yellow and red all season but the officials choose not to see it when it's the GF. We've had players carded for far less this season.
