Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Leeds beat Huddersfield 31-24 to hold on to fifth place in Super League and their hopes of a late charge in the play-offs. The Giants led 16-12 at half-time, but were edged out by a second-half surge, with Ryan Hall among the Rhinos' try-scorers. The result means that Leeds play Hull on Sunday evening, with the losers going out of the play-offs.
Hull KR tied up the remaining play-off place, beating Castleford 26-24 on Saturday in a thriller. Cas, with 11 first-teamers missing, put in a mighty effort, only to be beaten by Sam Latus' second try of the match in the 72nd minute.
Warrington finished on top of the table for the first time since 1973 with a 34-12 win at Hull on Friday night. That result made Wigan's 42-10 victory over Crusaders academic as they had to settle for second place. Wakefield gave departing coach, John Kear, a fitting send-off with a 26-14 win over Bradford.
