Betfred Championship Preview | Round 17

Betfred Championship Preview | Round 17

There’s more Friday night action to kickstart the Betfred Championship as Hunslet host Featherstone.

Featherstone moved into the top six with a win against Barrow last weekend and will be looking to maintain their place in there in Round 17.

It’s the Rovers who are undefeated in their last 28 meetings with Hunslet, although their last meeting was closely contested, with Fev only just pipping a 26-24 win.

On Saturday, London welcome Doncaster to the capital and are searching for a third straight win. The Dons won comfortably in the reverse fixture this year, but the Broncos have recently found a new lease of life...

Can Halifax finally return to winning ways? It’s been a disappointing few months for Kyle Eastmond’s men – who had initially won their opening six matches – but now find themselves in seventh.

They have another tough challenge on their hands when they face league leaders Toulouse.

Barrow versus Batley should produce an interesting tie, with their last result ending in a 24-24 draw. Meanwhile, Oldham welcome Sheffield.

Only three points separate fifth place and ninth place...

A classic awaits as York entertain Bradford at the LNER Community Stadium. They are level on points in the table, and it’s set to be a blockbuster encounter as they fiercely fight it out for a top two spot.

The sides have already met twice in 2025, with York clinching victories on both occasions in both league and cup. Can the Bulls enact revenge or will the Knights make it three out of three?
