Haven were leading 24 -16 at one bit,much improved from last Sunday.

[Havenfan10]

Unlucky not to come away with the 2pts today game management cost us big time. Tough hard game a bet they'll be some sore bodies tomorrow on both teams. 

 

[Agbrigg]

I will be suffering the delights of Odsal today and I think this game will be very close indeed. With Trins injuries, Bradford should be slight favourites on a damp micro sized  pitch. 

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Thornley called into the pack today for a severely depleted Trinity squad which includes a youthful bench of Smith, Booth and Shaw.  Going to be tough at the tip.

 

[RBKnight]

Finished York 27 Doncaster 0 at the LNER. Doncaster very blunt, with York's defence on top and the team now playing with wi th some confidence.

Listening to the Bulls radio, it seems Bradford's discipline was as awful as last week at Toulouse. It seems to have cost them the match. 

NB: The "chat" that accompanies the Bulls radio coverage is an absolute delight. LOL funny !

Good win for swinton at Sheffield.

[Colin James]

Swinton are so unpredictable. If they could actually beat some of the bottom teams they'd be play-off contenders.

We were on our way back from Nice to the Pyrénées and stuck in the traffic heading towards Spain. We managed to pick up the BBC Radio Cumbria (many thanks for the commentary guys!). 1st half was awful, 2nd half got a little better as I think Farmer gave them a shellacking at half time. Anyway, it helped while away the time on the A9 carpark in +30degree heat.  

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Just happy to get the win this afternoon. Fair play to the 20 or so Dewsbury fans who made the trip.

Almost went (as a neutral) to the game. But thought 'no, Sheffield will walk it'. How wrong can you be?
