Loan Watch: Tindall and Nicholson-Watton both in Championship action

Last weekend saw Rhinos duo Liam Tindall and Tom Nicholson-Watton take to the field in the Betfred Championship as the end of the regular season, and subsequent Play Offs, approach.
Take a look at how they got on:
Bradford Bulls 10 York RLFC Knights 20
Winger Liam Tindall returned to action at Bradford Bulls for the first time since round seven at the weekend as the Bulls were defeated 20-10 by York RLFC Knights.
With two games left before the Play-Offs, the Bulls missed the chance to go back to third with their third consecutive defeat in recent weeks. Tindall was included back on the left edge with former Wakefield player Joe Arundel, but the 21-year-old was unable to continue his scoring run that saw he score three times in four games for Bradford back in March.
York, who were without Leeds' Toby Warren for the second successive week, kept themselves in the hunt for a place in the top six with tries from Myles Harrison, AJ Towse and Conor Fitzsimmons, whilst Hull FC loanee Connor Wynne got the only response for the home side.
Sheffield Eagles 38 Keighley Cougars 10
Friday night saw Keighley Cougars lose out 38-10 to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Eagles and for the second week running, forward Tom Nicholson-Watton was named among the starters.
The forward has spent most of the season with the Rhinos Reserves squad, having made six appearances earlier in the season. The opportunity to feature on loan with Keighley though has given him the opportunity to get experience in the Championship and Friday was his sixth game for the Cougars.
Despite getting back to winning ways against Barrow in Round 24, third-placed Sheffield proved a task for Keighley in the 38-10 defeat.
