Yes, seems like this was always going to be a blank weekend due to the size of the division.

Point of information: who is providing this loan and who is going to be repaying it?

To be honest, Vikings were nowt special today but, to be fair, made it hard work for Hurricanes and took their big chance when it came. Both sides missing key players of course but Hurricanes should have had enough quality to edge a result in our favour. Had a feeling it might come down to a drop goal and we fluffed our chance and guess what happened next...

I'm also going with all home wins this week.

We're all with you on the point about referees. We suffered today but accept that we just weren't good enough to break down a solid Crusaders defence. Can't blame the officials for that. Otherwise a great day out for us in Colwyn Bay. Thanks for the warm welcome and first rate burgers and hotdogs.

No source credit for me?

That's awful. Happy to donate to help the clean-up.

Top man though. Autographed his boots and gave them to a Lions fan.

There are currently no teams in League 1 who have not been beaten by Midlands Hurricanes. Today's win over Swinton yeets the final one of those monkeys into touch. This is something we've dreamed of for many a long year! Did it the hard way today but another superb second half effort from Hurricanes turned the game around and kept us ahead of the visitors.

Someone suggested Cougars were better than their results showed so expect them to take advantage at Newcastle. Also expect Thunder to carry their fighting spirit into this game and make it difficult. Crusaders are top for good reason and they're at home. Town should also be winning all their home games the way they're playing.

I'd like to think there's a tipping point where the success, in terms of results and league position, is eventually noticed by the good people of Birmingham and another 300-or-so rock up to get involved and enjoy the ride. Hurricanes are a pretty good watch after all in a sport that is usually full of thrills and spills. We do have a committed owner now who does have ambitions to take the club to the next level. A lot of work is being done done to market the club and build the relationships with the local community so you would hope that the crowds will come when that all pays off. It's pretty tough for us though in a huge stadium in an area which is diverse and dispersed - as in kicks to touch not landing in someone's back garden. I think Crusaders have the same challenges as Midlands but the circumstances are different in some ways.

Anyone's game at half time but Midlands got their act together after the break to blow Whitehaven away. Another impressive win for Mark Dunning's boys who entertain Swinton next week.

That would be me too. If I'm tired enough, I'll sleep through any disturbance. I would though be much quicker at raising an invoice for rent of my garden.

Top bloke and great player who I used to sponsor at the Bears. Seems I wasn't the only one who wanted him to pull on a Hurricanes shirt!

My heart says Newcastle Thunder but... etc and so forth (No disrespect intended to Newcastle)

Another monkey removed from our back as we pick up our first win at the Crown Oil Arena. Superb for 80 minutes with our tackling preventing Hornets from getting into their stride.

Update please

The Sky Blues didn't look capable of it in the 2 games against Leeds but they have managed to improve themselves continuously since and are now the form team in the play-offs. Will be difficult for Sunderland to get their form back after their losing run so that puts Coventry into a single-leg final. By the time they get to Wembley they will be pretty confident of beating (presumably) Sheffield United and of course they do have a bit of experience of playing there in fairly recent times.

I get ya!
