Didn’t Keith Fielding win a rugby sprint challenge back in the seventies.

All home wins, except Crusaders of course. That will be tight and could go either way

More close games there. I’ll go all home wins, but I could be wrong lol

In the west riding we always referred to the local canal as the cut

Kayakman there seems to be some confusion. In the UK the term ‘cut’ is a northern term for a canal.

Workington to win at Coventry. Skolars v Crusaders should be very close and I’m taking Cru to edge it.

Raiders v Oldham Oldham by 20 Whitehaven v Newcastle Draw Keighley v Workington Workington by 4  Doncaster v Crusaders Crusaders by 6 Hunslet v London Skolars. Hunslet by 16 some good games there

Thanks for that AC. You’ve got a mountain of untapped talent there in South Wales. Was it two years ago that Wales u16 beat England u16 and almost all the players were snapped up by super league clubs. If you can get some of those playing for you you’ve cracked it.

I was at the match yesterday and with ball in hand you looked dangerous. For a twenty minute spell in the second half you controlled the game. Unfortunately some bad tackling was your undoing. Keep improving mate I firmly believe that Raiders will be a force in the game. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Glad you enjoyed the game Hugh and hopefully you’ll return. Raiders had a twenty minute spell where they controlled the game and looked dangerous in attack. Unfortunately some shocking mistackles let them down. i was talking to one of their officials before the game and they’ve been let down by a couple of Aussies who’ve jumped ship and signed for Skolars a couple of days ago. Now I know they aren’t the best of teams but the players knew the score before they signed. For them to play a couple of games to put themselves in the shop window then run is not on in my book. They should have seen the season out.

Just about sums it up Steve. If we’d have played like we did the last two games we would’ve won today. Silly mistakes costing us. The coach needs to give them all some passing practice too. The number of balls coming to the receivers head and resulting in an error is ridiculous. Fair play to hunslet they probably edged it today but I was not impressed with them given they are league leaders.

SATURDAY 16th MARCH London Skolars v Keighley Cougars KO 3pm. Away win Newcastle Thunder v West Wales Raiders KO 3pm Home win SUNDAY 17th MARCH Coventry Bears v Workington Town KO 3pm. Home win North Wales Crusaders v Hunslet KO 3pm. Home win Whitehaven v Doncaster KO 3pm. Away win Some good games there. Cru v Hunslet will be especially close.

All home wins, except Crusaders to beat Skolars

The thing is Steve is that we played well apart from a couple of moments of madness/ill discipline that cost us. I thought we were definitely the better team. Fair play to Oldham they didn’t give up.

John, you’ve got the crusaders Oldham game as a 3.00 kick off. It’s 2.30
