Warrington with five on the bounce. A change from last season when there performances were inconsistent to say the least.

Good game this evening, obviously not a good result though!

Credit to Widnes they probably just deserved the win, some good defence to go with their great offensive side. First team to beat Wigan at home in nearly 2 years, no mean feat. It's looking like an interesting season again.

Plenty of action in the Leeds v Saints game, I'd imagine the coaches ain't too happy though.

Hunslet beat Donny 48 - 6 and I miss it!!

Good win for Wigan today in the derby, year ago today I was at the JJB with the whole family!

Warrington top the table after an impressive win against Widness and the Hull derby saw an impressive come back from 20 points down for Hull FC to win against KR

Always enjoy the Good Friday games, reminds me that summer is on the way.

Wow! Some very interesting results over this Easter.

Wigan have confirmed that Josh Charnley & Dan Sarginson are to leave at the end of the season.

Josh is joining Sale Sharks in a code switch and Dan is off to the NRL. It's a real shame as both players have been in form this season, whilst Sarginson could feel threatened by Sam Tomkins returning, Charnley has hit back his form of a few seasons ago and will be missed especially with young Burgess going last season. I think he'll do well in Union, in the mould of a George North type player. Just hope he doesn't get bored of never seeing the ball...

Charnley will be a loss to League, quality player, I just hope if he does well and gains England recognition he doesn't suffer like Sam Burgess did.

Under Eddie Jones that is rather less likely than under the previous regime.

There's not going to be the profile associated with the move, and I doubt anyone but Sale are funding the move. I think he'll do well, his games more suited to switching codes than Burgess was and Farrel before him.

Mick Sullivan has passed.

 

[leedswolf]

I've just seen the score from Belle Vue and even allowing for Wigan's injuries all I can type is - WTF?!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bloody hell! That is a slaughter.

 

[ROVERT47]

They were missing a load of regulars but that's still embarrassing.

 

[leedswolf]

Typically, as a result of work schedules, I have missed the mighty Hunslet's first league win of the season.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

I was busy doing jobs all weekend, caught the result and nearly fell of my chair!

Fantastic result for Wakefield, fair play to them.

 

[leedswolf]

Another win (on the road as well) for Catalans. That's 6 on the bounce. A crazy start to the season.

 

[ROVERT47]

Just watched the last twenty minutes of Wigan v Huddersfield, looks like it's been a cracker, I knew I shouldn't have bothered with Arsenal against Albion.

 

[leedswolf]

I watched the whole game and it was a belter. I've enjoyed all 3 games that have been televised this weekend.
