Like you 'h' I thought somewhere on the line it's got a bit mixed up.

Thinking about this on a deeper level. The damage to the game that will ensue from this IMG circus could start with the Super League. Under licensing as you allude to the Super League became two leagues in one with half having little or no chance of winning silverware and resulted in blow out scores like you mentioned happened last season. Under Powell and us Fev fans can obviously look at this with rose tinted glasses,the championship became a better product because it had interest at the top of the table as well as the jeopardy at the bottom end. It also culminated in a final that was played on a neutral ground which gave it more significance. The winners of the Super League grand final have nowhere to go and likewise in the championship. So there's no difference. We just need to embrace it and try to be the best of the rest once again. Super League will end up being the tedium that it was under licensing and by 2027 we will once again have a new format.

Right about Super League. Just powerful players running into each other and defences to stop at all cost. Rugby League lost itself when it changed from 5 metres to 10 metres. I know it sped the game up but then we lost the ingenuity of half backs and the roll of hookers changed dramatically when scrummaging became the thing of the past. If there was no Fev I wouldn't watch the game. Though I do agree with you that the Swinton and Hunslet game was a joy to watch. Now it's spoiled even further with the onset of the ludicrous IMG fiasco. Top team up bottom team down. What could be more simpler for would be new fans to understand?

Hilton Park. Parkside. Knotty Ash. Boulevard. Wilderspool.Station Road;

What a good game that was and a great finish by Render for the winning try. Never knew why we let him go. Can only assume it was something to do with the talent we began to assemble

Funny though georgeb1 how we need the chance to better ourselves and we even allow ourselves to criticise IMG which incidentally I feel like they are taking money out of our sport by doing what? Like you I feel like Super League is not the be all and end all of ambition. Who indeed wants to get beaten heavily every week? Glory fans walk away and the club ends up financially embarrassed. The Championship can survive with the right rewards at the end of a season for being successful only if the RFL recognise this and dump the firm that already has taken nearly half a million out of the bank. Wakefield last season were getting crowds of around 3 and 4 thousand+. This season because they have been successful crowds have been 5 or 6 thousand. So to better these crowds Trinity will have to have a successful Super League season. It's something to watch out for. Leigh and Hull KR have managed to break the mould but can Trinity do the same?

Well done York. Playing well at the right time. If Bradford beat Fev you will be at Wakey. If Fev win you will be in Toulouse. But the way you are playing you will give a good account at either venue. (Fev fan)

....and what a noise from a certain someone calling out the referee for our late winner at Odsal in the league. My prediction though is just to antagonise in case he is scrolling

I can see a PATTON forming in this game. I am going to take a WYNNE all DAY long. Especially if we have a GALE blowing down the field. Try scorers Patton, Wynne, Day and Gale. Five goals from Reynolds with a penalty with twenty seconds to go. 24-26. I was wrong with my prediction last week but I have been known never to be right.

Though we had most possession and possible more chances at York it was York that were more adventurous when in possession and deserved to score the winner. However it would have been no surprise whichever team had come out on top. Like the game at Bradford either team could have come out with the win. Fev were in a groove of three big wins then after disappointments and as Fev supporters just like you Bulls fans (I would imagine) never know what to expect. It's been a season of up and downs across most clubs this season. It could be close or one team could fly away with it. That's the beauty of it all.

Do you know something Coolie if Fev win the Grand Final (I know...not very likely) then I think Fev ought to let Dewsbury share the the prize money and as a token gesture let the trophy be exhibited in your cabinet for six months. Of course this is assuming there is prize money and a trophy.......and assuming you have a trophy cabinet

Mark is having a little fun with the Italian language Haskey. Bellisima Belle Vue. He is referring to Wakefields ground

That's the key word 'quick' TPH. Usually the opposition are in place by the time Fev play the ball. Noticeable more against Sheffield, we were far too slow out of the blocks and as poor as Sheffield were they found it easy in defence. Hence the result. Look how easy it was at Bradford when Springer decided on taking a quick play the ball. He took the Bulls by surprise. Jones is a top notch player but he needs quicker play the balls to show how really good he is.

Thanks Deano. We won't get any compliments next week though. Just a bit of inventiveness from the self named Game Caller. Not many fans will make the journey next week which is a shame because of the way the fans were treated in the league game. Though I didn't go myself I understand the Fev fans were segregated from the food areas. If the Bulls post an hefty score though and win then the Fev fans might get away with any accusations. Good luck in the play offs. Hope you do well.

When you kick emotions to one side and look at that game from a neutral point of view. My summing up would be that it was a good tight game. The only controversy I would say was the disallowing of Gales second attempt of a try when it was called a knock on. I was obviously too far away to make my mind up until I saw the replay and to me that was a try all day. However it's fair to say that York were much the more adventurous side with the ball especially when they got into our 20 where Fevs defence in numerous games looks dodgy to say the least.Two different styles of play and it would be fair to say that whoever scored first in that second half were going to be the winners. A good York defence coupled with wrong options on Fevs part was the difference. That game I would say would have put to shame some of the dross served up in Super League recently. So on to next week and it's difficult to predict what sort of performance Fev will put up being the only side going into the play offs after losing their last game and helped by the unfortunate twist of fate that happened at Dewsbury.
