Barley Mow 219 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 (edited) Players off the field at Swinton v Newcastle due to a spectator taken ill. Medics attending, but BBC radio Manchester don't expect play to resume. Edited June 13 by Barley Mow 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JonM 3,270 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 London player penalised on his own 10m line for stepping over the ball and not playing the ball with his foot. Unapologetic Pedant would be delighted. Widnes capitalise, but Tyrer misses the conversion. 22-18 with 9 minutes to go. Link to post Share on other sites
JonM 3,270 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 22-24 London take the lead for the first time in the game with 2 minutes to go, with a somewhat dubious pass, after a great ball steal from Aston and a sharp break from Sammut. Link to post Share on other sites

Best wishes to the person who collapsed. Apparently the doctor at the ground and both clubs' medical staff acted quickly in coming to their assistance.

I will take the last gasp win. What do you mean dubious pass - have you not heard about the momentum rule . Anyway game in the books now. 1 Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones. I certainly hope so.

The Blues Ox 1,407 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 I expected a tougher game for Fax today but apart from a 10 minute spell in the second half it was pretty convincing. We are hitting a bit of form now which makes the games we threw away against Oldham and Bradford even more annoying. Batley away in a couple of weeks is a huge game for us in regards the top 4 because we have a nice run of fixtures through to August and the Toulouse game in which we should win most of them. The top 6 does look to be from 7 teams now and with Fax not having to go to London or York and Bradford not going to Toulouse could have big barrings on final standings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway game in the books now. Yes, good close game which could've gone either way. Hard to see either side threatening Toulouse, but both looking massively better than they were in the opening rounds. Kudos to the single London fan at today's game, who appears to be making the most of the cheap pints in Widnes right now. Link to post Share on other sites
ShropshireBull 922 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 What a great weekend of Champ RL. Widnes narrow loss is painful but shows huge improvement from start of season. Huge win for London puts them two wins clear of York. A massive win for Thunder and Whitehaven losing means they are in the mix. And next week, Thunder at home to Oldham (a revenge game and relegation decider there). And Batley just keep winning against the teams they should. And yep Widnes out of playoff hunt now. So its Toulouse Fev and Bulls top 3. Then three from Batley, Broncos, Fax and York.  Chuck a blanket over Vikings Sheffield and Dewsbury.  Then two from Thunder, Haven, Oldham and Swinton. What a great season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Phantom Horseman 2,756 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Featherstone crush Bradford 44-0 and frankly the score flattered Bradford as Fev bombed a number of tries, could easily have been 60+. Some fantastic tries scored though and some great defence when Bradford got near the line. A bit of gloom though that very much dampened the occasion as poor Brad Day looked like he may have sustained another bad injury and Thomas Minns, another who has struggled with serious injuries, also had to be helped off. A bad day all round for injuries as Ben Evans and Ebon Scurr both sustained bad-looking injuries, Scurr had to be stretchered off in an incident that delayed the game by about ten minutes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
