Full time 56-10 to Fev. With Toronto 1st and Toulouse 2nd in the division, there are now four teams on 16 points (Sheffield, Bradford, Leigh and York) with us and Halifax snapping at their heels on 14. What a competition!

And our points difference is now better than any of the 4 teams on 16 points if my maths is right.

Just done a check up on points and we do have a better points difference. Well done lads

Well done to all the players today. A lot better performance over the 80 minutes compared to last week. Some classy handling which led to some quality tries.

We played well against one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen for many a year. Rochdale were truly awful. Holmes showed touches of class but he also put the ball to ground on a few occasions. We scored some nice tries and looked good at times. The forwards were hungry, which was probably because we were getting over the advantage line with such ease. A nice win and good for the points difference, but much tougher tests lie ahead.
