Super League Picks Round 26

Dave — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:13:48 +0000

Yes ladies and gentlemen it is the final round of the season proper and Warrington want to secure second after their Challenge cup win (which I predicted, although I did predict a closer game). Wigan's Pat Richards will also be looking for some point scoring records – good luck Pat.

So I'm hoping to go one better than my 6 out of 7 last round and post another 100% – here's what I reckon will happen this weekend.

Wigan Warriors v Bradford Bulls: Wigan Warriors by 30

Hull FC v Leeds Rhinos: Leeds Rhinos by 10

St Helens v Castleford Tigers: St Helens by 22

Harlequins RL v Warrington Wolves: Warrington Wolves by 12

Catalans Dragons v Huddersfield Giants: Catalans Dragons by 8

Crusaders RL v Hull KR: Hull KR by 16

Salford City Reds v Wakefield Wildcats: Salford City Reds by 4

It’s cup final day

Well having missed watching last years cup final live I'm actually going to be able to settle down and take in the BBC coverage of this year's clash between Warrington and Leeds.
For those going the first sell out cup final for quite a few years does show some promise for Rugby League and hopefully the game lives up to it's billing.

It's going to be a close one I think, maybe not in the score but certainly on the pitch. I could see a few late tries open up a gap in the scoreline maybe?

Some interesting bets to be had but I don't think I'll be throwing money at this one – if I did I'd be backing Warrington to repeat their success of last season. What do you reckon?

So firstly an apology for not putting up any Challenge cup predictions last weekend, I was getting married which kind of shifts some focus.

Dave — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:56:45 +0000

I only got 3 last week, pants and it seems I hadn’t realised that Hull and Hull KR were playing last night, when was that decided? Why wasn’t at the meeting?
Aside from that the reality of not meeting the criteria for Super League is starting to set in at Wakefield and Castleford who meet this weekend for which my picks are right here.

Wigan Warriors v Warrington Wolves: Wigan Warriors by 6

Leeds Rhinos v Huddersfield Giants: Leeds Rhinos by 18

Catalans Dragons v Crusaders RL: Catalans Dragons by 10

Super League Picks Round 17

Dave — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:34:43 +0000

Due to problems last week I didn't get my posts on the site but I did get them on twitter, see them right here. I only got a dismal 3 out of 7 which I won't let detract from my first 100% of the season in the last round of the challenge cup.

Still onto this week and firstly the international game, despit Bobby Goulding's "don't underestimate us" statement it's England all the way for that one.

It could of course mean an interesting Super League weekend with plenty of internationals missing from teams all round.

Hull FC v Salford City Reds: Hull FC by 12

St Helens v Huddersfield Giants: St Helens by 18

Harlequins RL v Leeds Rhinos: Leeds Rhinos by 10

Castleford Tigers v Catalans Dragons: Castleford Tigers by 6

Wakefield Wildcats v Wigan Warriors: Wigan Warriors by 8

Crusaders RL v Bradford Bulls: Bradford Bulls by 6
