Some silly football game.

Close! last direct train from Leigh, newton le willows departs at 16-30

I’m quite surprised about scores expected from Broncos at home. 12 point suggests three tries, not achieved that since round one and haven’t kicked a single goal at home in any game. Sure they’ll look good until 60 mins and then no doubt just give up. Long season still to come as a season ticket holder.

Bulldogs

Knights

Eagles

The only away wins.

Hands up if this isn't quite how you remember Workington.

Might not be seeing it too much longer if Town move in with the neighbouring football club.

That drone taking the picture would normally be blown into Scotland and get water logged...

I didn't realise they were next door to each other. Are they talking about knocking one down and developing the other?

Developing on the football ground, unfortunately it would cost huge money just to get the soil at Derwent Park able to be built on.

We've gone with our strongest possible squad given injury and suspension. Brad Day is in the squad for the first time since joining following an injury lay off.

If Leigh keep up the improvement as the player's are getting more used to each other's style, play and awareness, then it is going to be a long afternoon for Newcastle, I would go as far to say a 40 to 50 point margin.

Just getting ready to go.

Very sloppy from both Leigh and Newcastle for the first 15 or 20 minutes. A few quick tries for Leigh when they cut out the errors and got some good carries in from the forwards.

Sheffield absolute rocks and diamonds this season.

[ShropshireBull]

Solid from Eagles. If they can beat Whitehaven in two weeks they are going to be half way to safety by end of the month. 

Think we are seeing whitehaven and woky dont have the player base to sustain both at champ level. 

Think Newcastle being 3rd ft team might be disappointed they are so off the pace.

Bulls lead Batley by 6. Thaler pinging everything. A game of RL may break out soon. Patten in the bin after persistent infringements.

London 6 . Knights 6

[Northern Eel]

Beautiful try for Batley out wide. 6-4, KTC.

[NERugbyDad]

Thunder loose too leigh as expected but keep it closer than most people's predictions at 34 - 18
