Wins for Rams, Hurricanes, Swinton....but all games could go either way. Its a really tight league this season; only 5 points between the top 5 teams at the moment. Another massive game at home for Crusaders; first v second (again!) and two teams both performing well. Hopefully, home advantage gets Crusaders the win, but it could be another tight one. Lets hope the team keeps playing as well as they have been and the desire to stay ahead of the pack is as strong as it can be.

Bulls, Panthers, TO XIII, Rovers, Oldham, Knights

I'd love to see North Wales Crusaders back at the Racecourse, in Wrexham....thus saving a 90 mile round trip for a home game!

Quick shout out for North Wales Crusaders womens team playing in the RFL 9s Competition in Leeds on 5th July. Good luck ladies.

Over the years I got to know Kev and Jim quite well. I created a separate post on the Forum for people to add their condolences and memories of Kev. My thoughts are with all his friends at Newcastle Thunder.

There are probably plenty of us on this Forum that came across Kev at sometime. His voice and chanting was unmistakable (BOOM BOOM, Thunder Army!!). He was fun, generous and always a good friend. I sang 'Abide With Me' with Kev and the Fans Choir at the 2016 Challenge Cup Final. We had a great weekend and took advantage of a 2-for-1 offer at our hotel which ended up with 6 bottles of wine on our table...of course Kev was as fresh as a daisy the next morning! We me up in Newcastle, Gateshead, Leigh, Galashiels (for a Scotland v Wales international) and of course Wrexham where he was very much loved. Thoughts to family and friends especially Jim Bradley who was his ever-present mate. RIP Kev https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1409601283932535&set=pcb.1409602790599051

Haven, Hurricanes, Lions, Worky. A week off for Crusaders with the Cornwall game off..but we'll still remain top after Sunday. To all the Cru fans travelling to Cornwall, I hope you have good weather - Enjoy yourselves

Agree about being baffled by some of the decisions by the officiating team and like @HurricanesSC I could pick out a number of decisions tht had our section roaring their disapproval. However, I agree he was equally bad for both sides. Lets leave it at that! A very good result for us; Midlands proved to be the toughest team we've had at Eirias Park this season. Those two league points puts us three points clear at the top. A week off again, with quite a few Cru fans still heading to Cornwall next weekend. Lets hope the good weather holds!

All home wins - except for Panthers ( a win in a very close game in Widnes)

I'll go for all home wins, though all games could go either way in 4 tight games this weekend. Crusaders will need a first half like we played against Hornets and a second half like we played at the Alexander Stadium earlier in the season. I think Crusaders have shown they can win this, we just need a performance to match our expectations. This, and the next game against Workington are crucial wins for us to remain top of League 1.

As others have already pointed out, Billy was subject to racism from the WRU selectors, and would never have been chosen for the Wales RU senior mens team. The article on the WRU website doesn't tackle its past discrimination.

That article has not only been airbrushed but sanitised beyond belief!

I'm not sure it isn't taken seriously as an elite sport with the current mix...to suggest it is is more than a little insulting.

The Summer Smash should be a great event.... I was selected to referee the Masters International between Wales and Ireland but unfortunately I have another commitment that day...gutted that I can't do it.
