As the summer schedule intensifies, the chase below them remains fiercely contested with several sides pressing for a top-ten finish to secure a spot in the post-season bracket.
Title Race
The competition is currently led by London Broncos, who have gathered 26 points to sit clear of Newcastle Thunder and Oldham.

Newcastle and Oldham remain the primary challengers for the qualifying final positions.
Fixtures in Focus
The schedule sees several pivotal encounters approaching as teams jockey for position. Widnes Vikings host Oldham on June 26 in a clash between two sides currently sitting inside the upper reaches of the table. On June 27, Newcastle Thunder face a testing outing against Whitehaven in a match where they will look to solidify their points tally. Finally, Batley Bulldogs welcome the league leaders London Broncos on June 28, a high-stakes challenge that serves as a massive litmus test for both sides' current form.
Down the Table
At the lower end of the standings, the battle is intense as multiple teams fight for survival. North Wales Crusaders and Swinton Lions are currently mired in the difficult lower reaches, compounded by significant points deductions that have severely limited their margin for error.
