Well done sheffield, you deserve to get there beating widnes, fax and leigh to get to the final is a brilliant achievement. You have been pretty consistent over the last few seasons . Aston has done an excellent job. Good luck in the final.

F***in hell,cant believe it ,God they were up for it tonight,The defence was awesome,Not been as nervous near the end for many a year,that trysaving in tackle in the 74th minute was a lifesaver,Not sunk in yet that were there yet,Deep down i thought we could win,mainly due to the last 3 performances but you just had to look at Leigh only losing one league game and beating us three times,We always beat Feath once in a season We'll be underdogs which i like,I was there in 98 and we'll never be as bigger underdog as then,Bring on the final and thankyou for the congratulatory posts. The team look on a mission.

Well done the Eagles, I now have split loyalties on who to support in the final with Cockayne being at Fev and Talaupapa at Sheffield, hopefully it'll be a good day out and a top quality contest!

Superb performance from everyone involved. Terrific defence and great kicking for Brown. Good to know there will be a Yorkshire winner of the GF. Hope its you.

I'm still buzzing, what an awesome night. Three textbook performances in the playoffs and if we make it four who knows what might happen. No one expected us to get this far, I know I certainly didn't, but the spirit amongst these players really is something special, they've bought into Mark's ideas and it's paying dividends.

I'm going to enjoy next Sunday whatever the result, we really do have nothing to lose, we've ticked a box now let's go and win the whole bloody thing.

And as EB said thanks for all the messages, hopefully the majority of neutral support will be in our favour!!

Well done Sheffield, you were superb. We sat right near your fans who were a cracking set of lads, enjoy your day out next weekend.

Cheers guys, what a win, I kept quiet (during the week!!) but I knew if we played like we did against Fax we'd win.

And for those undesirables who were giving me stick last night, £29.99 on Ryanair!!

*does the aeroplane uncontrollably around the room*

Seriously though, £30 isn't bad in the grand scheme of things, thought it would be more than that.

This morning i feel like i have a hangover with all the singing and bouncing, but i didnt drink anything, its pure adrenaline (and still is)!

For me it was the best team performance in all the years ive been watching the lads, the defence was nothing short of heroic. Ill be honest, i had faith but i just couldnt see it happening. Even with 10 mins to go i still didnt think we were there, but got there we did, and now weve earned our day in the sun.

Its going to be an epic challenge to beat a class team like Fev, theyve been the best team for the last two years but on the day we can beat anyone, we have proved it.

No-one gave us a cat-in-hells chance in 1998, and that story is now history.

Will history happen again, personally, i cant wait to find out!
