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.
Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley
Well we kicked this off to a lot of server issues last week so hopefully this will work out better. For those who didn't get last weeks it was of course Leeds skipper Kevin Sinfield.
So I ask you who wants to be Ellery Hanley this week? Think you know the answer? Leave a comment.

Monday Mastermind Quiz XXI
It's back – Hell yeah! Test your rugby league knowledge.
1. Who's playing CV?
(1999 to present)
North Sydney - Northern Eagles – Bulldogs – Sydney Roosters – Hull FC
2. Who's this?
3. Name the teams
One point each (image from Foxsports)
4. What is the name of the Wrexham stadium where Welsh Super League team The Crusaders are playing their home games this year?
5. Who was the last team besides Saints and Leeds to contest a Super League grand final? (bonus point: what year?)
6. Who sponsors the NRL?
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.
Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley
Welcome to the new season at Fifth and Last and we have a new feature – wahey!
Everyone knows Ellery Hanley; once voted the greatest British Rugby League player he even did some dancing on ice (which is way better than any other dancing, in your face Martin "ballroom" Offiah) So everybody would of course love to be Ellery Hanley.
Well thanks to my wizzer photoshop skills some famous faces from Rugby League will be getting the chance, you just have to tell me who they are – in the words of Alexander the meercat – simples.
So for week one, who is this Ellery Hanley wanna be? – answers in the comments please ladies and gentlemen.
It looks different
It does indeed, with the season having kicked off I had intended to get the new site up and running but I got bogged down doing work that pays me (http://www.kamikazemusic.com).
So I've moved the site over to the brilliant WordPress platform and I've slightly modified a nice theme (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/07/glassical-a-free-wordpress-theme/) and I've got all the old content in.
So while I sort out formatting all the old content properly I'm hoping to continue to develop the site's new look whilst being able to carry on posting. I shall speak to you all soon and there shall hopefully be a new feature for next week and a continuation of an old one!
