Now 24-10.

[Moominman]

Whitehaven defeat Newcastle 29-20. A vital win for Haven, as I suspect they will rely on their home form to keep them away from the bottom two in the league.

Good display by Haven especially when missing a few, expected more from Newcastle tbh

I counted 5 missing who would probably start +Riley who pulled out just before ko. But the lads who come in done superb thought Olstrum was outstanding. Big test next week.

Bradford 6 Halifax 14 after 27 minutes, Bradford's discipline has been shocking, given away 9 penalties already and also have a man in the bin, just clawed their way back with a try.

Fev aren't top

Surprising result for Toulouse......

Toulouse did not play London. London did not travel and a 24-nil victory is posted to Toulouse

[The Phantom Horseman]

Saltonstall sin binned for a daft trip and Bradford take advantage with a try by Fleming. 12-14.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Coming together of the two teams after a shoulder charge by Springer. Springer and Fleming both binned. About 20 penalties and 4 yellow cards so far.

Better late than never

[The Phantom Horseman]

Some turnaround at the Tetley Stadium as a long-distance try from Pickersgill takes the score to Bradford 18 Halifax 14.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Another Bradford try, 24-14.

[Phil]

Let Bradford draw us into a niggle  game and lost  our discipline, same old story Fax 

[Scubby]

Tense finish.

[Scubby]

Fax could pinch this back after throwing it away. 24-26 now.

[paulwalker71]

Finished 27-26 to the Bulls

[Scubby]

Wow! 27-26 Bull take it.

[Phil]

Very poor from Fax, the bulls set out to niggle and we let them draw us in and off our game.

Amateur stuff in lots of ways, we were there to win a game, let the ref deal with the bulls tactics and concentrate on winning the game 

[DimmestStar]

As a neutral I thought it was tremendous entertainment.

From 0-14 and hardly getting any football I thought Bradford did really well and Jordan Lilley the best on the pitch.

No golden point in the championship and in the end we didn't need it...........just.

[The Blues Ox]

Like Phil says, Bradford's gameplan was there for all to see from the start. Credit to them though because it worked and got us in to the type of game they wanted. I'd like to say on a different day and with a stronger official we probably get a different outcome but at times we did not help ourselves.

Again Im left questioning the stupid new ball steal rules as we ended up with a man in the sinbin as a result of one that was still a 2 man tackle when the ball came out. The sooner that changes the better along with tightening up the 6 again rule where persistant offending has to at some point lead to a stoppage and a yellow card.

For some reason as I mentioned early on its just one of those grounds where we always seem to struggle and its really no surprise to see it happen again.

[RBKnight]

After the Knights blow a clear chance n the first 5 minutes, Sheffield take the lead at York (Thackery in at the corner), converted..... 0-6

[TheYoungBaron]

.like to watch the replay of the Sheffield player who tugged at salters boot!

As a Knights fan, our lack of creativity is starting to be cause for concern.
