The Swinton and Rochdale home games were indistinguishable to me. Both instantly forgettable, both turgid to watch, except the weather was warmer for the Swinton game.

Swinton and Rochdale can play to reasonable intensity for 20 minutes, but when an opposition team gets on top of them, they resort to niggle and delaying tactics. James Greenwood got suckered in against Rochdale and Ben Cockayne against Swinton. Cockayne might cop a ban for his elbow to the face.

Both Swinton and Rochdale would be prime relegation fodder if not for the Bradford points deduction.

Don't the bottom 4 go into a play off with the top 8 similar to the middle 8's for who goes down or is straight relegation? If it is a play off the points deduction won matter too much (Bradford being awful will tho)
