Wigan 26-20 Bradford
Hull KR 28-18 Salford
Everyone is talking about Dr Koukash going in to Salford and blowing his cash because he's signing all the big players: Francis Meli, Adrian Morley, Junior Sa'u from down under and the rumours are that he's signed Castleford's main man in Rangi Chase. If they do that they are putting together quite a decent squad.
Between Michael Dobson and Corey Patterson they scored 20 points in this game and you could see the amount of times that Michael Dobson touched the ball and set up one of his players. He plays with so much composure because he knows some of his players are going to come up in support. He can pull off a play that not many players can and this was a great achievement by Hull KR who have now won the last five games. Earlier on in the year Hull KR couldn't close players down - they were losing games despite scoring an awful lot of points. Meanwhile, Salford were really soft in defence which will upset Brian Noble.

Castleford 24-40 St Helens
It was very difficult for St Helens because in the first half, in particular, they were playing on the back foot. Saints have never finished below fifth in Super League, but they lost James Roby on 16 minutes with an ankle injury and brought on Paul Wellens. A good plus for Nathan Brown is the way they reacted. They were 16-12 down at half-time and the form hasn't been good; it was a very good performance from Castleford but St Helens were just too big and too tough in the end.

Catalan 34-28 London Broncos
What you want in your side is a bit of character and Tony Rea, the London coach, will be very happy. This is the second time in a row that they have scored 24 points in the second half. The game was finished by half-time with Catalan leading 28-4 and in fact it was 34-4 after 46 minutes. For London there is an awful lot of positives, but they need to start games quicker. If they start quicker they have got players who can trouble the opposition. Unfortunately for them, they start too slowly; they need to turn up, play with confidence and start better.
