Party time across here in North Yorkshire. Been a long hard season and a great contest that could have gone either way. Probably one of the tightest contents I can recall for a long time. Good luck in the playoffs and looking forward to locking horns again next season.

Congratulations on your promotion and thank you for the wishes. Hopefully we join York in the championship although we always do things the hard way.

Enjoyed going to York this year and hopefully we get to do it again next year

A really well deserved top place, could only have been surpassed by the Bulls getting their act together when it counted. Hope next year goes well for you.

Little to choose between the Bulls and the Knights as the results of our two matches show. But clearly York were much more consistent than Bradford and fully deserve their win. I just hope we can renew the rivalry next season.

Yes, well done to all our friends at York. They will have a new ground to play in next year. As the right to play rugby league at Odsal runs out on 31 May 2019 then let's hope that we have a ground to play in next year, and a team to support.

If's, buts & maybe's I suppose. We had a 50:50 kick from the touchline after the hooter went to draw the game which we missed. If that kick had gone over, we would be champions today. You can't put it on the kicker though, we had plenty of chances in all 3 of the games we lost to win them.
2 more games to go.

I really doubt the government has enough spare time to pass laws to overturn the legal protections enjoyed by sitting tenants before May next year.

Well done to York. They did what they needed to do and handled the pressure games better than us.

Well done to York, clearly a club on the up, hope they continue it in future years.
I honestly can't remember where a team with the best points for and against didn't come top, that's usually a good indicator of league position.
Also, a lot of talk on here of how our attack was so much poorer than York, yet we scored more points than them, interesting thought
Finally, noticeable how York's results (can't comment on performances) tightened up after we lost to Workington, narrow wins against a few teams. Tells me the favorite tag added a bit of pressure to them, which we carried throughout the season, until we screwed it up against Town
