This pretty much ends Hull KR's League Leaders' Shield chances but Salford have earned the right to rest players. The late date change probably hasn't helped

Fair to say Willie Peters is unfazed about Salford's decision to send their reserves to Wigan yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

George King probably deserves a better send-off but it says a lot about Hull KR's progress that he can't get in the side. A real strong performer for Rovers during some pretty tough times yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Fair to say Brad Arthur won't be packing a transistor radio for the trip to Hull KR. He was also nonplussed when I asked him about a potential advantage for Catalans if results go their way on Friday yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Season over for Huddersfield and Castleford. Neither side will remember it fondly. Giants claim a 34-10 win in the dead rubber

Craig Lingard vows to give patient Cas fans a stronger squad next year as he outlines the positions that need strengthening. Luke Robinson, meanwhile, pretty much confirms Huddersfield have signed George King and Liam Sutcliffe yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Hull KR are 80 minutes from Old Trafford for the third time in four years. Crucially this time they have home advantage. Tonight they showed once again that they can grind out wins at Craven Park even when they're not at their best yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Home advantage brings pressure but Willie Peters is backing Hull KR to handle it. I'm a big fan of Brad Arthur making the Rhinos train a bit longer to get them in the right mindset for pre-season yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Halifax Panthers are doing it tough at the moment and the financial picture across the sport is pretty gloomy. Interim chairman Lee Kenny discusses the situation at Fax and beyond yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Hull KR pair Elliot Minchella and Mikey Lewis have been named in the Super League Dream Team and there's also a place for Leeds Rhinos back-rower Rhyse Martin, who is on his way to Craven Park. Could have made a case for a couple more Robins yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

At the Shay where struggling Halifax have confirmed their Championship survival with a 14-10 win over rivals Bradford in a rip-roaring derby. Three cards and two premature celebrations in the longest period of added time I've ever seen in rugby league but third time's a charm

Caught up with Niall Evalds after Friday's game. No issues following his head knock and he'll be fresh for the semi-final after one game in five weeks yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Not a nice situation for Elliot Minchella but he seems to be handling it pretty well. He couldn't say too much on the incident/appeal for obvious reasons. If the appeal is rejected, Willie Peters will have to try find a way without his captain again yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Refreshing to hear a player back himself for an award rather than the usual "that's for other people to judge" yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Massive blow for Hull KR. They're going to have to find a way without their captain if they're to reach a maiden Grand Final yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Rhyse Martin outlines why he reckons it will be a Hull KR v Wigan Grand Final. He was offered a window into his future last week in a unique end to his Leeds Rhinos career yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…
