sounds like the score flattered Skolars 

[Angelic Cynic]

There seems to have been far more occasions,this season,where one side has scored 20+ points,then the opposition do similar,with the game being decided by a very late try,or the original 20+ points scorers repeating their earlier exploits and pulling away again.

This happened again at London.

I cannot recall it happening as often,before.

Lots of tries for any new spectators to see...

While WWR haven't got a win this season they've definitely improved and become more competitive. Their players are getting more league 1 games under their belt and will only get better the more they play. If they can recruit well before next season they could take the next step and start notching up wins

It’s the Welsh derby next week at Colwyn Bay, Crusaders v Raiders. Should be a good game and hopefully we’ll see a decent turn out of supporters from the south. Really looking forward to this one.

me too...should be my first live game this year

[mickmike wilson]

Coventry making a decent game of this by the sounds of it, 24-12 atm 

[mickmike wilson]

34-12…..last few mins now, Barrow going to win but it’s great that clubs like Cov, Skolars & the Welsh are improving imho.

Cov made us defend way more than I’d have liked so well done.

[mickmike wilson]

FT 40-12…Attendance …??

[Barley Mow]

Great finish in south Leeds by the sound of it. Hunslet were 20 - 10 up inside the last ten minutes, but Keighley scored 2 tries and it finished 20-20.

[FearNothing]

a draw would be a great result for us as far as the league table is concerned

[FearNothing]

...and so it is!! Hornets & Cru up to 4th and 5th, and a nailed-on win against West Wales next week could see us up to 4th

 

..also hoping for a big enough win to take our pts. diff back to positive, but the Raiders improvement this year may make that difficult...

[Johnny Ringo]

Big score at Barrow, that margin wasn't predicted by many people. The in form  Bears on the back of wins against Hunslet and Keighley were put to the sword today by the sounds of it 40- 12
