Super League Picks Round 13 – It’s magic!
Magic weekend is upon us and I'm sure all those off to Murrayfield will be in for a jolly good time. I shall be in Southampton, about as far away as you can get and still be in the UK.
Last week's predictions got a 5 out of 7, which isn't too bad. I doubt many people saw the shock win from Harlequins at Wigan coming and maybe backing the Crusaders against Huddersfield was a bit of a wildcard but I do believe they are becoming a team capable of taking points from most teams at home.
Still onto this weeks guesses predictions:
Bradford Bulls v Crusaders RL: Bradford Bulls by 10
Hull FC v Harlequins RL: Hull FC by 20
Salford City Reds v Warrington Wolves: Salford City Reds by 4
Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Wildcats: Leeds Rhinos by 12
Castleford Tigers v Catalans Dragons: Castleford Tigers by 8
Wigan Warriors v Huddersfield Giants: Wigan Warriors by 22
St Helens v Hull KR: St Helens by 8
I will stick my neck out here and say that Salford is my only crazy pick of the round.
