Super League Picks – Round 22
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
St Helens v Harlequins RL: St Helens by 13
Bradford Bulls v Salford City Reds: Bradford Bulls by 8
Castleford Tigers v Wakefield Wildcats: Wakefield Wildcats by 10
Super League Picks Round 21
Well I haven't got around to posting many picks on the site last week, some have made it as far as twitter and not even there last week! Anyway here are the picks for round 21
Wigan Warriors v Salford City Reds: Wigan Warriors by 30
Harlequins RL v Bradford Bulls: Bradford Bulls by 10
St Helens v Catalans Dragons: St Helens by 18
Hull KR v Leeds Rhinos: Leeds Rhinos by 10

Super League Picks Round 17
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
Super League Picks Round 14
Well we're up to week 14 and magic weekend is out of the way and scored me 4 out of 7.
This weeks tips look a bit like this, well exactly like this actually.
Wakefield Wildcats v Bradford Bulls: Wakefield Wildcats by 10
Leeds Rhinos v Warrington Wolves: Leeds Rhinos by 14
Catalans Dragons v Hull FC: Hull FC by 18
Salford City Reds v St Helens: St Helens by 20
Harlequins RL v Castleford Tigers: Harlequins RL by 4
Huddersfield Giants v Wigan Warriors: Huddersfield Giants by 4
Hull KR v Crusaders RL: Hull KR by 2
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.
Super League picks round 12
I know, I know here we are in the middle of the season and I'm absent from posting. It's mainly cos I'm quite busy and typically there's so much to talk about particularly courtesy of the Melbourne Storm.
This however is my Super League predictions again, 5 out of 7 last week and that 100% is still eluding me. Predictions for this week look like this.
Wigan Warriors v Harlequins RL: Wigan Warriors by 12
