What a performance, really pleased with how we came back from 8- 0 down. I thought we grew as a team and just ran them ragged, like said above Odsal was bouncing. Shame if Matongo is out thought him and Rogers had cracking games as well as the rest of the team.

Yep no pressure on the lads now, just give all you've got over in France and let's see if its enough! I think Toulouse are beatable but it'll take something pretty special after the last few weeks.

Could be well be without Scurr and Matongo, just hope we haven't picked up any more knocks.

Losing 2 forwards this late in the season is horrendous. Lawrence, Rogers, Doro and Okoro are now our only fit and playable props. Letting Foster and Johnson go midseason now looking like a costly blow.

If we’d kept those two we maybe wouldn’t have had Dorro?

Really good performance. I was really pleased with that - I genuinely didn't expect us to win before this.

Told you all London were the ones to watch. If I were a Featherstone fan (I'm not I only have 5 digits on each hand (well 5 on one and 3 on the other after the incident)) I'd be feeling nervous right now.

How good was it at Odsal last night?

I thought the match started a bit how I'd feared. We had field position but were unable to make it count and then we were 0-8 down and seemingly short of answers. Then the bench players came on and the whole complexion of the game changed. That pearler of a pass from Taufua to Holmes got us up the field and Gaskell's kick won a drop out. Rogers' try under the posts seemed to pump everyone up. Appo's try was even better and the try after half time from Holmes was the best of the lot. That middle period was something else and we managed to keep York up their end for pretty much the rest of the match.

It felt like one of those nights of old with a great atmosphere.

The one downer was the injury to Masi Matongo who really does have rotten luck, I thought it was his wrist but it may be his shoulder again which would be even worse given the problems he's had with it. It was a shame to see him so crestfallen when all around him were cock a hoop.

Whatever happens next week I get the feeling the team has turned a real corner since the home game versus Barrow, I hope the O'Carroll can continue the upward trend and we can be more consistent next season and really cement a top 2 place in the championship.

It's a loooooong time since I've walked out of Odsal with that feeling.

The period before half time and just after when the team visibly lifted was immense from both the team and then the crowd.

About ten years ago I was at a function talking to Ian Millward and we had a game the weekend after I asked him about. He said that at Odsal, in big games where there was any chance the going was going to be heavy,defending the Corporate Stand end in the second half was fatal as it was the soggier end and made it so hard, at the end of the game to come away from. In that game his prediction was spot on so I was praying from 60 mins on he was still right!

That poor sod who got folded by Taufua twice in ten minutes must have wondered what he said to him.

Taufua's hits were awesome. Having him and Blackmore on the wings just shows the advantage of having some size when you're playing on a small pitch and the game is forward orientated. I'd certainly give Taufua another year.

When we last played York we had Tindall and DFJ on the wings, only three props and IIRC Gaskell was out so we were short of power and variation in attack. Gaskell may be a bit of a peripheral figure in some ways but his 40-20 and grubber kick to set up the drop out before Rogers' try were v important.

It was like somebody switched on a switch after 25 mins of first half. Forwards started running onto the ball at pace and purposed. Probably the subs that made the difference. If so Greenwood and Nobby got it spot on.

Was it Kirmond that Tafua kept flattening?
