Wakefield are SAFE AND SOUND after putting a record score on hapless Hull, condemning champions Leeds to a relegation dogfight following wins for Huddersfield and Catalans. Can Rhinos chief Kevin Sinfield find any new players ahead of Friday's transfer deadline?
There's drama in the Championship where Halifax edged Toulouse to put one foot in the middle eights, with Leigh and Featherstone's chances now hanging by a thread. Meanwhile in League 1, York turn up the heat on leaders Bradford with a superb win at Odsal that blows the race for promotion wide open.
As usual, there's plenty happening off the field too – including efforts to save the international calendar and an update on plans for the 2021 World Cup. League leaders Saints are also forced to respond to reported NRL interest in their popular coach Justin Holbrook.
Rhinos debutant Dom Crosby talks about his desire to earn a new deal at Headingley while Brad Dwyer addresses rumours about his future and Dave 'Nosey' Parker reveals why Wakefield moved so quickly to hand Tom Johnstone a new deal.
