WELL that’s another round of the Championship and League One done and dusted and what a weekend it was!
No one expected Sheffield Eagles to demolish Toulouse Olympique as they did on Saturday afternoon, but the South Yorkshire side put their French opponents to the sword in emphatic fashion with a 32-4 win.
Wind the clock forward to Sunday and there were six Championship games as Featherstone Rovers hammered the York Knights at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday afternoon whilst Keighley Cougars demolished Bradford Bulls in one of the surprises of the season.
Elsewhere, Barrow Raiders registered their first win of 2023 with a hard-fought victory over Halifax Panthers whilst Widnes Vikings got one over on the Newcastle Thunder.
London Broncos were also victorious against Swinton Lions in yet another thriller as Batley Bulldogs just about did enough to take home two points from Whitehaven.
