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.

Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley

Here's your Ellery Hanley wannabe for this week, nice and easy I think.
