This week\u2019s Championship Rugby League action brought plenty of talking points, none more so than one club racking up over 100 points in their game.<\/p>\n

That side was Batley Bulldogs, who scored 110 points in their thumping of a very depleted North Wales Crusaders. The Welsh outfit have undergone an ownership change in recent weeks after the old club went into liquidation, which has led to a number of players moving away from the club.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, and quite impressively, not a single player scored a hat-trick in that game, though eight players crossed for two tries and a further four crossed once.<\/p>\n

That game took place on Sunday, but the week\u2019s action actually started on Wednesday, when Doncaster faced Barrow in a re-arranged fixture from earlier in the season. The Raiders came out on top in that game, and they backed it up on Sunday when they defeated Hunslet 36-22.<\/p>\n

Friday night saw Newcastle Thunder and Oldham win their respective matches against Goole and Midlands, before two tries from Huddersfield Giants loanee Monty Lumb helped Dewsbury Rams to a 32-6 win over Workington Town.<\/p>\n

After being 28-6 down with 25 minutes left on the clock, Salford RLFC produced an incredible comeback against Halifax Panthers, winning 32-28 after a last-minute winner by Castleford loanee Daniel Sarbah.<\/p>\n

In another comeback, Rochdale Hornets were 20-6 down at half-time before coming back to win 36-22 over rivals Swinton Lions.<\/p>\n

London Broncos kept their unbeaten streak going with a 72-10 win over Sheffield Eagles. Brandon Webster-Mansfield crossed for a hat-trick with Finley Glare, Morea Morea, Luke Smith and Elliot Wallis all grabbing try doubles.<\/p>\n

Finally, despite only scoring one try, Whitehaven defeated Keighley Cougars 16-14, with Ciaran Walker kicking a total of six conversions across the afternoon.<\/p>\n
