Yes, things looking a bit bleak in our North East and South West outposts - I'm beginning to wonder whether one or, (God help us) both, will make it to the end of the season. With the Cru losing 36 -37 I'm not sure whether not being able to get to the game was a good or bad thing!

To be fair, David Hughes has been looking for someone if not to take over then at least to share the burden for some considerable time, what he can't appreciate is that his tenure has so badly damaged the club's image that no-one will touch it with a bargepole.

All home wins bar Wakey and Bradford.

Wire by 24 - Lam out by Monday (even though it's not his fault).

Cornwall, Worky, Keighley, Crusaders. Fingers crossed that I can get to the Cru game as at the moment my right hand and wrist are in a support (tendonitis as you didn't ask) and I can't drive - hopefully it'll clear up enough by Sunday.

Hassle free training run for Salford.

Cats by 6? Tie of the round for me!

Wigan by a lot.

Hudd by 12.

Saints by 20.

Looks like the league's settling down to a private argument between Oldham and Keighley as to who finishes as champions and the rest of us competing for play-off places.

Try cloudcukoolandish.

Bradford, Barrow, Fev, Swinton, Batley, Widnes, Wakey.

All home wins (head ruling heart for Cru at Keighley).

Not exactly an inspiring day down by the North Welsh seaside. After a good, solid first half against a hapless looking Newcastle side, in the second half the Cru looked listless and on occasions indisciplined - the game aint over 'till the final hooter, goes, boys! Never mind, three wins out of three's a good way to start the season.
