Great game at Sheffield, both teams played with a real intensity not normally seen at this level with York just the better side in the end. We really do look very good indeed at the moment, pace in ev

I would like to say merci to the BBC for radio Merseyside.  For you folks in the UK. You don't know what you have until it's gone.

Ive never seen anything like it in all my time watching RL. Fax celebrated the win twice before the actual last play. My take was Bradford had a penalty and then slung the ball around with the hooter

Widnes are missing a lot of players, will be a big result if we beat Toulouse.

Halifax looked pretty good last week, they might fancy their chances against Bradford.

I've just seen the TO squad for the match. Widnes will be fine. If TO lose, Bradford will go for it as 2nd spot is up for grabs.

Not clear to me that Widnes will start the game with 17 players.

York lead the Eagles 18-12 at half-time at Sheffield

It’d be nice if they put the lights on for the second half, it’s like watching a game down a mine here.

It's rendering Andy Atkinson speechless on Radio York 😆

York stretch their lead to 24-12, 20 minutes to go.....

York are the form team of SL other than trinity at the moment. 
 

Appelgarth is a very good coach who just got given a very tough first task at trinity last season. 
 

Good result for them after a tough match against trinity 6 days prior.

Great game at Sheffield, both teams played with a real intensity not normally seen at this level with York just the better side in the end. We really do look very good indeed at the moment, pace in everything we do. If we’d have played like this earlier in the season we’d have been comfortably 2nd now. 
 

I’ve got to say, Sheffield shouldn’t really be allowed to play night games under those lights though, almost laughable how dark it was.

I said when York played at Fax how how good they looked, everything done at a fast pace. I seem to remember someone saying Fax won because York were so poor which wasn't the case at all. Some times you just have to give the opposition credit.

The whole ground is ridiculous. If you want to stand it's pitch level only. Not fit for purpose.

Why do you think we're flitting?
