24 nil up after no time and it ends with that score. Goodness me, we do seem to have accepted our fate for this season.

thats dire against them writing on the wall NO CHANCE of promotion i've had enough!

Just arrived home. I enjoyed the trip and the Featherstone hospitality. It was good to see a few Fev and Castleford fans there. Gary Thornton was there as well, by the way.

We looked very good in the opening exchanges as Oxford couldn't cope with our play and the hill. We took our foot off the gas and in the second half there didn't seem to be too much between the sides. I guess the players could have had half an eye on Sunday's game but the points difference situation could come back to haunt us.

Some of our defensive frailties were still in evidence and the lack of ball-handling skills stopped us from scoring a couple of tries that we should have probably got. Jack Miller was named Man of The Match. I thought Russ Spiers had another really good game.

20-0 after 15 mins very good , 30 -8 at half time acceptable .

2nd half dire ! No urgency no nothing !

Looks like 6th place , we are not a top 4 side.

as someone who supports neither team, I was ready to leave at half time and call a non contest . Donny must have had 99% percent possession in 1st half and oxford looked like a bunch of school kids by comparison .

I don't know what happened to the dons in 2nd half but I have to credit oxford , they looked like a different team after the break , it actually ended up one of the most entertaining games I have been too recently

Thank for the post. As DM posted it could be that they had one eye on Sunday, no injuries etc, or I may just be taking comfort with that view. I am looking forward to the Eights and although we have to do it the hard way it will be interesting to see how much effort is put in by the seventeen chosen to carry out that task.

It looks as though we softened Oxford up for Barrow to cut loose today.

Barrow 80 v Oxford 10 .
Not a good advertisement for C1 rugby .

The RFL have got to look at this division for the 2018 season !

Toronto 62 v Gloucester 10 .

Hope the visitors are tired next Sunday.

Good night

Can't see what they can do about it. Just not enough talent to go round.

Have C2 for developing clubs eg Hemel, Oxford , Gloucester , Coventry & any new clubs eg Manchester etc
No disrespect meant to those clubs .
