Don't think I ever recall an easy game at Batley 

Widnes have won once in our last 6 visits to Batley, and that was in 2010. 

Justin Sangaré sin binned at Halifax, should even things up slightly and Halifax get a try 4-34 just before half-time.

Fev back to their old ways in the first half failing to complete far too many sets. Whitehaven have competed well. Three Fev tries disallowed too but it's 16-6 at half time, Whitehaven down the slope 2nd half.

Whitehaven competing well at Featherstone; especially with a long injury list and two Scottish RU players on debut.

Currently Featherstone 22 Whitehaven 14.

Halifax 34 Toulouse 44 is the full time score, suspect Fax would've won that if it had lasted a few more minutes, definite shift in momentum from the opening half.

Well done Fax great spirit, very sloppy from Toulouse after being 34-0 up after half an hour.

Fev 48 Whitehaven 14 is probably the type of score that many expected but jeez Fev made it hard for themselves, a catalogue of errors especially in the first half. Credit to Whitehaven who had a real dig and showed some quality too, Walmsley looks a real find. Class told in the end as Whitehaven tired.

Was it a case of Toulouse putting the cue on the rack, or did Halifax suddenly start playing?

Could have been a case of mistaken identity. Looked a terrible kit colour clash at the Shay.

How can Newcastle play on a plastic union pitch with a 5m and a 22m line. I can't see any markings for the 10m and 20m.

Abysmal by Fax thats pretty much all you can say about that. Some players need to have a good long look at themselves after that first half.

Fax were well in control last week and caved. There is a decent side in there somewhere but two awful halves of RL.

TO travelled without 4 key players, the two St Helens recruits, Hansen and Kheirallah. Three players from Elite 1 team in Boyer, Laguerre and Garcia filled in. Had two players yellow carded Sangare and Schaumkel.

Really brave effort by Newcastle who look set to beat Sheffield. Leading 24-16 going into injury time.

Full time, great win for Newcastle.

Huge win for Thunder and the monkey is off their back. Had eagles winning this one but delighted to see Newcastle competing at this level. 

Fev and Toulouse pencilled in playoffs, throw a blanket over the rest bar Widnes, Swinton and Oldham.

The reality is that this league is full of teams who can really make things tough for their bigger brethren. Batley are the classic example, as are Haven, both teams where you will never get an easy win. Fev and Toulouse obviously have the class, but who finishes in the remaining play off places is anyone’s guess. I’m delighted Thunder got the first win today, but please don’t place us in any potential playoff candidates yet, I said a couple of weeks ago, 9th would be a great achievement by seasons end.

Don't want to jinx it but Bulls look like they've put Sheffield behind them and season is back on track now. So chuck Bulls in that playoff mix. 

Game gone now, Dewsbury won't comeback albeit they have been on the back of a few dubios decisions that have all gone the Bullls way.
