Super League Predictions
I know this is quickly turning into a blog of a quiz and some predictions but I’m hoping to sort that out after a few busy weeks and then this week moving to the other end of the country, getting kicked off my internet and then locking myself out for a day I even missed out the mid week read.

Monday Mastermind Quiz III
Well here this week’s quiz, a little late I know, I’ve been rather busy but hoping to resume some form of normal service soon.
Super League Predictions
Ok so I must apologise I’ve been busy again so not much posting but just before this weekends games I’ve time to give out my predictions. Now last week went like this and I’m sure you’ll all be surprised I didn’t predict a draw at Bradford!
St Helens v Warrington
Salford v Celtic Crusaders
Bradford v Hull KR
Castleford v Harlequins RL
I’m still hovering around the 50% correct mark, which isn’t brilliant so I’m devising some way to get next doors cat to help me next week. Still this weeks predictions after the click.

The Mid-Week Read
Ok so it’s late mid week but I’ve been rather busy..
(all links in new windows as usual)
Tony Smith tackles the big issues
The loveable oh errol girls have returned from the states (yes I know not much about rugby there)
Off the wall looks at NRL teams sponsored by gambling firms
Wakefield move on from Watane’s shock death
And finally I know the big news you’ve all been hearing about
McCormack leaves Widnes Vikings
Monday Mastermind Quiz 2
Well here’s week 2 of our quiz. Hope you did well last week, as always suggestions and questions are welcome.
Super League Predictions
Well I’ll be honest I was pretty pleased after Fridays result my 35 – 6 prediction for Leeds against Celtic only being narrowly out with Leeds winning 28-6, I didn’t see much of the game but there was something special from Kallum Watkins showing well for such a young recruit to the Super League.
Then the Bradford, Quins game was called off and I got the Wigan – Wakefield game all backwards.
So in summary (and I’m ignoring the actual score lines here)
Leeds v Celtic
Quins v Bradford
Wigan v Wakefield
50% so far and onto this week. It’s pretty difficult to call being the first full week we don’t really know what new sides are capable of but we’ll soon see. Predictions after the click.
Sadly not got time for any in depth predictions but I’m hoping to improve on a 50% ratio.
The Mid-Week Read
Well here’s this weeks set of rugby related links for you to muse over during a boring lunch hour or sneaky twenty minutes quiet time in the office.
Monday Mastermind Quiz 1
Here we go with another new feature, the Monday Mastermind Quiz. Which is just a little quiz to test your rugby league knowledge and it should be popping up every Monday from now on. I’ll admit I’ve pinched the formula for the quiz from another blog site (I’m not saying which) but hopefully they won’t mind.
