Easter picks – Super League Round 9
4 out of 7 last week, but I did take a few gambles. It's a bumper easter weekend with a Saints Wigan derby - Wigan to win away for me.
Here's my picks.
Crusaders RL v Harlequins RL: Crusaders RL by 10
Leeds Rhinos v Bradford Bulls: Leeds Rhinos by 10
Hull KR v Hull FC: Hull FC by 8
Warrington Wolves v Salford City Reds: Warrington Wolves by 18
St Helens v Wigan Warriors: Wigan Warriors by 6
Huddersfield Giants v Catalans Dragons: Huddersfield Giants by 10
Wakefield Wildcats v Castleford Tigers: Wakefield Wildcats by 4
Picks for the weekend – Super League Round 8
The site has been suspiciously quiet I know but I've been rather busy – normal service sometime soon, although I'm also looking at some new developments for the site.
Last weeks predictions brought me 6 out of 7 – damn you Leeds Rhinos and your pathetic recent form, 1 game away from a perfect round. Let's try again.
Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos: Wigan Warriors by 6 (no doubt this will now be the game Leeds come good)
Bradford Bulls v Harlequins RL: Bradford Bulls by 20
Castleford Tigers v Crusaders RL: Crusaders RL by 4
Warrington Wolves v Wakefield Wildcats: Warrington Wolves by 8
Salford City Reds v Hull FC: Hull FC by 10
Catalans Dragons v Hull KR: Catalans Dragons by 4
Huddersfield Giants v St Helens: Huddersfield Giants by 6
Picks for the weekend – Super League Round 7
Don't worry I've not forgotten about Ellery Hanley just nobody wants to be him this week. I also haven't forgotten about this weeks picks.
Last week got me 5 out 7 – not bad, let's see how we go this week, all seems pretty straight forward this week. Possibly get upset with Warrington at Saints but we'll see – I'll get a 100% before the season is done.
Crusaders RL v Catalans Dragons: Crusaders RL by 8
Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR: Leeds Rhinos by 12
Hull FC v Bradford Bulls: Hull FC by 4
St Helens v Warrington Wolves: St Helens by 2
Harlequins RL v Huddersfield Giants: Huddersfield Giants by 8
Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors: Wigan Warriors by 4
Wakefield Wildcats v Salford City Reds: Wakefield Wildcats by 16
Picks for the weekend – Super League Round 6
We're on round 6 already!? This is flying by. So last weeks picks - 5 out of 7 – not too bad!
This weekend I think will look a little something like this.
Hull KR v Wakefield Wildcats: Wakefield Wildcats by 2
Wigan Warriors v Hull FC: Wigan Warriors by 8
St Helens v Crusaders RL: St Helens by 10
Warrington Wolves v Bradford Bulls: Warrington Wolves by 4
Catalans Dragons v Castleford Tigers: Catalans Dragons by 4
Harlequins RL v Salford City Reds: Harlequins RL by 2
Huddersfield Giants v Leeds Rhinos: Huddersfield Giants by 6
A lot of fixtures could go either way. – Warrington/Bradford, Hull KR/Wakey, Wigan/Hull for example – still we'll see how I did come Sunday afternoon.
Picks for the weekend – Super League Round 5
Well I'm hoping to watch a bit more live rugby than I normally get to this weekend so I'm looking forward to that.
A 50% return on the super league picks last week and I don't think I was alone in putting Melbourne to win the World Club game, so picks for this week and it's as open as ever.
Bradford to beat Wigan by 5
Leeds to beat Harlequins by 10
Hull FC to beat Castleford by 8
Salford to lose to Catalans Dragons by 4 (the weekends daft pick? Catalan will pick up points on their travels at some point and what better chance than a struggling Salford)
Wakefield to beat Huddersfield by 10
Hull KR to lose to Saints by 12
Warrington to beat Crusaders by 12
Picks for the weekend Super League Round 4
Last weekends picks started well getting the Leeds result bang on, then it all went down hill so we'll try again shall we.
Wigan to beat Catalan by 16 – should be easy enough for Wigan this one at home to the travelling Dragons.
Hull to beat Quins by 8 – Not sure if Long is back or not? Anyone? regardless Hull should win this one the presence on Long will just tell by how much. Interestingly no one has backed Quins so far on the last tackle predictor league.
Salford to lose to Bradford by 8 – Salford are surely an early contender for wooden spoon and I can't see them picking up points against a Bradford team who are still looking to make right some early season hiccups.
St Helen to lose to Wakefield by 2 - My completely bonkers pick of the weekend.
Cas to beat Hull KR by 6 – Both teams didn't have the best games last time out but I think Cas are the stronger of the two and at home should win this.
Huddersfield to beat Warrington by 6 – Both looking good so far this season, Warrington's team still seems too dependant on Briers and I think Huddersfield for this.
And of course the big game – Leeds v Melbourne. Leeds to compete for 60 minutes then the Storm to run off with it.
Picks for the weekend Super League Round 3
Not a bad weekend last week with 5 out of 7 results correct picking Crusaders win over Salford and The Wildcats win over Leeds.
So this week shapes up like this
Leeds to beat Salford by 12 – Salford simply aren't good enough and Leeds to lose 3 in a row?!
Bradford to lose to Cas by 2 – Will be close but a win for the Tigers here.
Catalan to beat Saints by 1 – My crazy pick of the round, travelling Saints may just get pushed out or they could turn my prediction on it's head and batter the Dragons.
Warrington to beat Wigan by 18 – The Wolves are looking strong and at home.
Crusaders to lose to Hull by 4 - Crusaders will be strong at home but Hull are looking good early this season.
Hull KR to beat Huddersfield by 8 – KR at home have to be favourites and I can see them running a few extra tries in.
My picks for the weekend – SL round 2
To be honest the way everything is going so far I'd be just as well pulling these out of a hat.
Wigan to beat Hull KR by 6 – Could go either way this one but I think Wigan at home will just edge it.
Hull to beat Huddersfield by 16 – Hull are off to a good start and I think they'll carry on against Huddersfield.
Salford to lose to Crusaders by 2 - It won't be a nice game but I think the Crusaders could grab their first points of the season with some good goal kicking.
Cas to beat Warrington by 4 - Could you ask for a better game after both teams performances last week? Cas to sneak this one due to home advantage.
Harlequins to lose to Catalan by 4 - I think Quins are in for a struggle and Catalan are a better team even travelling.
Bradford to lose to Saints by 10 – Don't expect Saints to sit back after last weeks shock defeat, I think they'll be looking to put things straight against Bradford.
Wakefield to beat Leeds by 4 – Leeds with one eye on the world club game will want to get some momentum going but could be caught out by a good Wakefield performance.
What do you think for this weekend? It was quite interesting to see that most people had Saints winning last week and not one person picked Cas to beat Leeds, hardly surprising though I guess.
