Widnes 12 Keighley 6. Widnes well on top for the first 15-20 minutes, but much more even since then.

  I was surprised Swinton did not beat Newcastle last week with home advantage.

They are unlucky to be behind at the break at Batley. Playing far more structured, energetic rugby than a blow-par and flat Batley side.

Would be big wins for Sheffield and London if they can hold on. 

Barrow poor again Sheffield got it in the bag.

And Swinton take the lead. Deservedly. 18-16.

Swinton 24-16 up now.

Tied at Haven and Widnes.

[JonM]

22-18 at Widnes with about 4 minutes to go - Widnes just bombed a walk-in try.

[JonM]

Hat-trick try for Ryan Millar to win for Widnes. 26-18, kick to come.

Fev 24 - 4 up but with Yei in the sin bin that’s 7-0 in sin binnings’s for Kendall

All looking a bit silly on the Batley Swinton prediction

Batley won't be too worried early days yet.

Don't think anyone predicted a Swinton win. Be great to see them stay up.

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Thought Keighley give it a good go today. Certainly don't lack size.  Happy to come away with the points. On to Bradford next week.

Still a great Swinton win

Some tight results show this is building towards a fantastic season in the championship for most teams, very fewceasy beats it seems......other than maybe one team.

Another season where it looks like we have two teams streets ahead but we won’t go to a 14 team super league but we will keep loop fixtures. 

When do Toulouse play Fev? 

Round 14 10 June at Fev.

Round 26 16 Sept in France.

[dixiedean]

Wasn't expecting Barrow and Keighley to be the bottom two right now.

Crucial win for London.

Keighley have had two relatively tough fixtures - Fev at home and Widnes Away. They'll be favourites to beat Newcastle at home next weekend. Barrow have had two home games and would have been looking to win one or both.

Sheffield have a what now looks like a winnable Friday night game vs Batley then away to London. Good chance of being 4 from 4 by end of Feb. 

Tricky - having lost last week.

My bad think they will take 3 out of 4 though 

There'd still be a long way to go.

Should've done. Wasted so many chances.

I rate Alan Coleman Swintons coach. Great win today! Got them back up first time of asking after inheriting a horrible team from Stuart Littler that got relegated. Seem to improve them when he took over too. Definately one to watch.
