If he is the same person (Bless him) that does the match announcements at LB then god help us .

 

P 

He’s getting players names on the same team mixed up. At one point Meadows put up a kick up for York. He's even got the entire teams mixed up. It truly is appalling.

As was my decision 2 hours ago to pay £10 to watch this absolute drivel again

Not sure who the commentator is for the London v York game but he’s possibly the worst commentator I’ve ever heard on any sport ever.

The commentary on Widnes v Fev is excellent, not biased at all best I've heard so far.

I can't see the TO match so i'm watching the Fev one, quality of the video is excellent. Widnes tending to gift Fev stuff but Fev are looking a good side, it was close for the first 10 minutes but I think Fev will run away with it 2nd half

Glad TO got their nose in front at HT, down the hill 2nd half

It's Dave Parkinson - been commentating on Leigh games for many years.

Thats scandalous 

I had lunch in Mantet yesterday with the local beer very reasonable.

Andorrans (Proper ones) are basically Catalans and the worst type money grabbing b------s who have over commercialised the place.

Everything in town was fine price wise but 3000ft up and it's a captive market! Tbf an ice cold drink was very welcome, even at that price

The commentary on this is so biased that York have finally managed to score and he said, and I quote “ SADLY, it was coming”

No need for it.

[meast]

Another hammering for York?

Does anyone still believe they should be parachuted into super league at the expense of Wakefield, Salford and Huddersfield who "bring nothing to the game"?

[crashmon]

Great result for London

London ship 60 to Fev, then put 50 past York....

Not looking good for York next week

I imagine OurLeague use whoever London's in-house commentary team may be, can't be easy getting someone competent to go down to London to call a game for what probably wouldn't be much recompense.

The Toulouse - Fev bandwagons continue to roll on… should be a right old game at the end of the year if they both make the final.

Fearful for Fev's unbeaten record this afternoon. A string of late changes, with Hall and Parata dropping out at the last minute, Holmes and Ferguson also not fit, adding to the absentee list of Minns, Bussey, Lockwood, Welham, Day, Halton and Blackmore.

A left wing combination of John Davies and half back Harvey Spence on show today.

Well that was a needless worry. A very efficient performance bar a brief wobble in the 2nd half, once Kopczak and Harrison were back on Fev resumed control.

[Robin Evans]

Job sorted. Get this Wembley nonsense out of the way, prep for the Bradford game and focus wholly on that. The toulouse game the week after will look after itself.

  !st August we play at Fev .Some good priced tickets for SL supporters fed up of seeing their team get beat{Cas.Wakey Huddersfield}.£15 and £7.50 oap's  entry four decent stands.I would give the standing terrace behind the sticks a miss it tends to get a bit rowdy.

[Scubby]

Are York having money troubles? This sort of slump can sometimes be associated with a bit of uncertainty in the playing group.

If not, the turn in fortunes is quite baffling.

I reckon they will be playing twice in the playoffs, whoever loses the 1st game has an extra game, but they will meet again in the final...hopefully

Is that the format? I thought it were 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th then top plays the lowest rank and 2nd the remainding team? I struggled to find much confirming online though.

Although that was for 2020

On the Fax game Haven will not get relegated if they can produce performances like that for the rest of the season. They defended really well and will score plenty against teams without defences as good as ours. Fax did look tired and I know we are playing with a few players who should not be playing but the week off will do us a world of good and then a tricky away trip to Sheffield followed by the potential 3rd place decider against the Bulls.

Rest of the games went as expected with York looking in real danger now and relegation is looking a real possibility. This is no time to be having any show ponies in your team.

hmmmmm.... yes, you are right. I need to do some more digging to find the definitive answer.  Make it like the middle-8's and it will be brilliant to watch

TOP two can only meet in the final K

The top two in the final table will earn a bye through the first round of the play-offs before playing the winners of sudden death fixtures between teams three to six – and the winners of those two semi finals will meet in the Million Pound Game to determine promotion to the Betfred Super League in 2022.
