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.

Warrington were back to their destructive best with a 64-6 annihilation of Bradford yesterday.

The match was over as a contest in 15 minutes, with Ryan Atkins and Matt King both crossing twice. Atkins went on to total four, with winger, Joel Monaghan, taking a hat-trick.

Paul Wellens scored two tries as St Helens warmed up for their Cup semi-final against Wigan with a 46-26 victory at Castleford.

Huddersfield celebrated their return to the Galpharm Stadium with a 46-26 win over Hull KR in a try-fest.

Graeme Horne and Scott Grix both scored twice as attacks proved too hot for defences throughout. There was another high-scoring game at Perpignan, where the Catalan Dragons got off to a flying start against Harlequins with two early tries set up by superb ball-handling from Setaimata Sa. The Catalans finished 48-22 winners.

Wigan stayed top with a 30-16 win at the KC Stadium on Friday night. Hull pursued them most of the way, but two tries from Pat Richards and two brilliant ones from Sam Tomkins were too much for them to counter.

Salford could not convert their pressure on Leeds into points. Instead, they trailed by 18 at half-time and even a spirited fightback could not save them from a 30-2 loss that further reduces their slim chances of making the play-offs.
