RL season 2022

First topic message reminder :

All things to do with RL for this season.

Yes, summer bash at Headingly next week Fev v Leigh being the obvious standout fixture but on Sunday Barrow v Widnes could be interesting as could Newcastle v York.

I'm not sure Leigh/Featherstone is, I fully expect Leigh to win. Now the Barrow/Widnes is a very interesting fixture, especially if Widnes win. Also think the Whitehaven/Workington for different reasons, Batley/Dewsbury could be with alot at stake.

The relegation places in the NCL division 1 have been confirmed.

Myton, Milford and Saddleworth will all be in NCL division 2 next season.

Luke wrote:Tonight's SL games.

Toulouse after a decent winning streak, lose at home to Salford 11-24. Meanwhile Catalans after 2 defeats in a row bounce back beating Huddersfield 13-12.

In the Championship.
What sounds an entertaining game see's Dewsbury get a great point at Newcastle drawing 24 all.

And in league 1.

North Wales continue there recent turn around in dorm, beating Hunslet 36-26. Cornwall lose at home again (still haven't won at home yet), this time to Swinton 10-46. West Wales also lose at home (they also haven't won at home this season, or for about 3 season's), Oldham the winners by 38-0.

If either Toulouse or Wakefield can win just 2 more games they would be safe as i think I'm right in saying Wakefield have to visit Toulouse yet and a game neither can afford to lose

In tonight's game.

A youthful Hull KR get thumped at Wigan 46-4, which was fully expected as soon as people saw the squad.

2 huge games tonight.
Toulouse home to Hull Fc and Wakefield away at Cas Tigers.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cas Tigers lose this one as I'm sure deep down they want Wakefield in Super League next season as their local derby as i can't see Fev being good enough to get promoted.

As George says, they were 2 big games tonight. And there's a change at the bottom. As Hull FC get a good win in Toulouse 30-6, and then Wakefield get a great win at local rivals Castleford 32-6.

In league one,
Midlands also get a good win at Hunslet 24-0. To complete a night of away wins.

Why am i not surprised Wakefield won at their local rivals Castleford last night and more or less insuring that that they stay up and insuring that Cas have a local derby next season and at the same time not having to travel to France next year to play Toulouse

Today's games.

In SL

Huddersfield beat Warrington 32-22, in what sounded an interesting game till the end. But the result of the rd happened in South of France. Where Leeds losing 32-6, and having a man sent off stage a remarkable comeback in the last 24 minutes, taking it to golden point and then winning, as they stun Catalans 36-32.

Just a heads up (I did not know until about 5 minutes ago) i.e. 2:30pm, Saints v Cas is on Ch. 4 tomorrow (7th August).

Today's results so far.

In the Championship, the game i was at was decent. As Halifax deservedly win 34-18 against a slightly out gunned but game Batley side.

Both teams weren't at there best, but it was interesting to watch and i stayed watching until the end

Egermont have been relegated from the NCL premier Division.

And the whole of the North Wales coaching staff will be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Pretty well as I saw it. Not the best but it was good to see, shame there was not more promotion particularly with so much else on i.e. Commonwealth Games.

Very sad for both clubs and even worse for North Wales

This Saturday on Channel 4 we have Salford Red Devils at home to the Huddersfield Giants. KO at 1.pm. So coverage will start about 12.30 pm i think. I think this could be a very good game.

Last night's game.

Warrington actually win, beating Toulouse 32-18.

Luke wrote:Last night's game.

I think that's relegation for Toulouse now

So do Il to be honest they've lost to many games from winning positions. And quite a few of there players aren't performing (gigot hasn't all year).

Last night,
In the battle for the bottom play off place (6th). Leeds gave themselves a boast as they win at Hull KR 28-20. And Castleford beat Catalans 18-8.

Salford put in a tremendous first half performance, as they beat Huddersfield 33-16.

Today's games.

In SL.
The big result is at Wakefield, who beat Wigan 30-12, and put a bit more breathing space between them and Toulouse.
In the other game, Hull FC continue they're taste for getting stuffed, as St Helens win 60-6 at Hull.

In the Championship.
The big result was London Broncos beating Workington 38-12, meaning they're staying up. Great achievement after starting the season so badly. Featherstone helped them by stuffing Dewsbury 72-6. Leigh who are head and shoulders above everyone win in Newcastle 60-0. Barrow continue there outstanding season by winning at Batley 30-12. Whitehaven still look nervously at the bottom 2, but should be safe despite losing at home to Widnes 20-12.

In League 1.
On Saturday (Sorry missed it), Swinton kept up the place for the top of the play off spots by beating West Wales 94-6 in Wales. Today Rochdale win against Cornwall 34-14. Doncaster win at Midlands 52-18. And outside Oldham stuff London Skolars 60-6.
Champions elect Keighley continue there walk to the title and automatic promotion by stuffing Hunslet 60-18.

And tonight's game.
Bradford get a great, and abit suprising result at York 20-16.

Luke wrote:And tonight's game.

Stunned at that I have to say. Sam Hallas at stand off!!! Must have been long odds. Too little, too late but a great win and hopefully something to build on.

A game I missed, Halifax won at Sheffield on Friday 32-26.

And Workington have been confirmed as relegated to League 1 from the championship.
In the NCL West Hull the league leaders trophy (champions are the winners of the play offs).
And in the NCL league 2, Heworth have been confirmed as Champions.

Tonight's SL games.

And the big results are again to do with the bottom. Wakefield get a big win at Hull FC (not sure how there 3rd try stood) 26-18. This coupled with Wigan thumping Toulouse 52-6,pretty much means Wakefield stay up.
ST Helens tighten their grip on the League Leaders shield by beating Hull KR 38-12. And Leeds beat Warrington 24-18.

Great win for Wakefield, not officially safe but Toulouse need a miracle.

Saturday 20/8.

Having beaten Saints then Huddersfield Salford continue their...outstanding form winning convincing in France 14 - 46 v Catalans. On a good run or contenders for at least a semi final spot?

League One

Midland Hurricanes beat West Wales 4 - 36
Crusaders scrape past Rochdale 28 - 24

Salford have been outstanding this year, and after the last few years show how to run a club on a tight budget. Definitely one of the successes in rl. Brodie Croft has to be in the running for the dream team, if not the man of steel.

Results from yesterday.

Leigh break all sorts of club records, as they beat York 100-4. Dewsbury win a game, at already relegated Workington 22-16. Unfortunately for them, Whitehaven also win at a lacklustre Bradford 12-4. Widnes lose for a 4th time out of 5 at home to Sheffield 30-18. London who's recent form has been play off record (won't mention the first 4 months or so), win again as they beat Batley 30-20, really wrong time to be stumbling. Halifax beat Newcastle 42-10. And Barrow run Featherstone close before losing 34-24.

In league 1,
In a game of 2 half, Oldham come back to win in Cornwall 32-12. Swinton beat Hunslet 38-12. And Keighley win the title and the automatic promotion place by winning at Doncaster 48-18.

It's probably too late for next season, but i would like to see a 14 team Super League with both teams who reach the Championship grand final being promoted and obviously no relegation from Super League and getting rid of these loop fixtures

George Hotel1895 wrote:It's probably too late for next season, but i would like to see a 14 team Super League with both teams who reach the Championship grand final being promoted and obviously no relegation from Super League and getting rid of these loop fixtures

To be honest, I've always thought a 14 team so, only magic weekend being the loop fixture. Championship 13 teams, league 1 10 at moment (with at least 2/3 new sides in next 4 years), in league 1 all play home/away, then top 5/bottom 5 play each other home/away dependent on the places.

So last night see's the start of SL double header.
As Leeds beat Huddersfield 18-14 in a tight game. A win that really helps there chance of a play off place.

Leeds are on fire at the moment and at the right time of the season
