Ok. Fleming looked to have a clash of heads with his own player. Eckersley was stopped in his tracks by a superb tackle which nobody who saw it would have described as anything but a great t

You are so desperate to make it all about Bradford that you put Bradford into a game they weren't even playing in... Tragic

Sheffield were cruising at Keighley, but 2 quick Cougars tries have clawed them back to 18-40. Didn't see that coming when it was 6-0 to Keighley after 20 minutes.

I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

60-0 to Fax at The Shay, Whitehaven didn’t really have much to offer.

Bring on St Helens 😎

Fev in control and cruising today.

Widnes floundering under more and more injuries. Hopefully when Gilmore and Craven are back, things will improve!

Evidently Widnes had four players fail HIA's in the first half today.

  Week off for us both next week.Widnes were struggling for players in key positions before kick off and didn't need those picked up today.I thought we would win without too much trouble.Although a few injuries we do have cover for most.

18 Tries now in 10 games for Walmsley and playing in a team that has not really hit its straps. Hes going to get some trys once the grounds dry up......😉🤣

Huge upset for the Bulls...joking aside to say they are a basket case of a team they are still well and truly in play off contention and have had a lot of their tough games. 2nd place wide open and Sheffield have a run of games they should now win so could put some distance between themselves at this point. Keighley probably still have a shout for the playoffs but it looks like this year there could be 8 or 9 teams capable of hitting those spots. What a league.

He’s a complete freak at this level think he’s got around 64 tries in 56 games in the championship

Yeah thats some record even more so when you consider that those tries have not been scored in teams dominating in the league. Some player.

We usually have a pint in the Three Pigeons before the game if you fancy it?

You really must hate Fev you're like a dog with a bone. I wasn't there so can't comment ( hopefully someone will). But how a Sheffield fan can defend their tactics and they were plain from the off last week is beyond me.

Did Lacans play on last week ?   Yes.  Did he play yesterday ?  Yes.

Can't have been that bad, can it ?

The referee thought so.  No penalty.  Play on.

What happened at Odslum today? Obviously no defending as there were 80+ points scored on the postage stamp.

Random game tbh. We were well in control. 14_0 then try a cut out pass. Intercepted. 14_6. Ball management. This was Dunnings emphasis on not doing silly things with the ball and managing the game. We have a few players who have and have brain farts. I've always liked how Swinton play in recent years. This for me wasn't a decent Swinton team.

Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah

It  wasnt that decent they let us score 44 points! 

Think i saw it quoted before the game they had 16 players unavailable this week. 

For every bit as good we were in the 1st half we were god aweful in the second.

Remind me about all those HIAs yesterday.

All purely accidental of course. What did Bussey get sinbinned for? Try-saving high shot? Look in the mirror.
