That was one of the most entertaining games I saw last season. Don’t think there’s many Hunslet fans who would swap that for anything,

One of my favourite RL memories was when York won the 2010 playoff, we went up and got beat most weeks but that final still lives on in my memory. 

Watched the highlights only the other day. What a game!

Its funny you mention play off games as one of my favorites in my time watching Fax was the York playoff relegation game, I can't imagine the disaster we would have faced if we were relegated that season and the comeback in that game was one for the ages and set us on the path to been one of the most succesful clubs in the Championship over the next few years.

We were absolutely robbed in that game

Yes Alan hadcroft never got that ball down in a month of Sunday's but we could make a nice meme from Danny brough all smiles one minute to tears the next, how it started.....

Unfortunately we'll get battered tonight. Entire 1st choice 3 quarter line unavailable plus a few key forwards. A battling performance will do.

Nobody gets battered on that pitch. You don't need a three quarter line on a postage stamp.

According to the back of Nigel Wood's fag packet, I mean "whole game strategy review", Bradford have already won..

And I was right

Poor from Bulls tonight. We aren't playing that well but still managing to get the wins. 

Need to be better for playoffs or will be out round 1

Expect the worst. Every Dons fan has it carved on our hearts. Practically genetic if your 3 or more generations in

Watching Another bloody Sunday once a week does not help

Considering the team we cobbled together that was exceptional from the Dons. Really expected to be on the recieving end of a 30+ points defeat.

Gave it a good go though with a depleted team.

On THAT pitch ?!!!

It must be even smaller than Dewsbury's.....

[Bull Mania]

Well players Doncaster. Better team over 80 minutes. Two sucker punch tries from us, plus Robinson missing a relative simple conversion to go two scores ahead the difference IMO. 

Get out of jail free for us.

I've seen us get mullered enough times there in the past

Dewsbury 62m wide, Odsal was 53m at one point but I think they've found a bit of space and it's up to 58 or so.

It hasn't always been that small.

[westlondonfan]

Well we are 14-6 up at Plough Lane at halftime.  I get the feeling that we are quite optimistic about the future at the moment.

Funny old game, Toulouse livened up in the last fifteen minutes to scrape through, unlucky London.

Could be a season defining win
