The weekend games are mostly very predictable although Doncaster might struggle against Midlands having played up at Barrow in midweek.

All homes except Widnes and London.

Barrow 25 Doncaster 26

Donny clinch it with penalty in last minute

Hmm....how many will we ship this week?? I'll go for 86, hopefully with a score in our column to keep the pts difference down

[american]

any of these can be watched online this week?

[Wakefield Ram]

Well done Crusaders, much improved result

[FearNothing]

Final score 58-6, we got one well chuffed for the lads, keeping Swinton to below 60 and getting on the board

[JonM]

Halifax 0 Widnes 4 after about 30 minutes.

4 Widnes players off injured, with the Halifax doctor having to treat Banditt as the Widnes doctor is otherwise occupied. All completely innocuous knocks, no foul play involved. Presumably we can't use the 18th man until the second HIA failure is confirmed.

We had a little bet before the start of the game as to when Fairbank would go off for his usual HIA, and it was only 20 minutes in. Surely after 10 or so of them you should be medically retired?

Can't see anything other than a Fax win from here.

18-18 at Half Time at Boundary Park. It’s been a tasty game so far.

It was more like 60-10, but we'll accept any advance on the 10

Fingers crossed for you, The Roughyeds would have further ahead but for two missed conversions.
