Not a bad week 6/1 on Cas beating Leeds, their game of the season. Sounded like Rangi chase should have been sent off twice and the ref kept giving Cas pens until they converted them and won  3 wins this round for outsiders |

Interesting today. Sounds like saints got fortunate when Widnes were down to 11 men.
Acid, you called the Leeds result as well!

Yep I just New classy Cas would up their game and Rangi chase was (apart from when he took out a leeds player) was the best player by a street. Not many Leeds players really wanted a scrap yesterday maybe one eye on the world club championship. |

Bousquet - 4 matches
Chase - 2 matches
Cross - 1 match (early guilty plea)
Not sure what Bousquet would have needed to have done to get the full 5 match ban. Also think Chase should have got more, as it's not like his first offence for this kind of thing.

Its ok to Cas fans, they won their cup final. Chase can rest for a few weeks. Yep he has lots of history, watch out for the return fixture, he might be 'rested'.

Chase was cited for a level of offence that meant he could only get up to 2 matches. But that means his previous couldn't be taken into account. There was also the other offence in that game that he wasn't cited for as well (because he missed). Dirty player, and glad that Wigan didn't sign him last season.
You should have Ablett or Bailey get him next time...

Leeds (1/41) Draw (66) Salford (18) St Helens (7/19) Draw (22) Hull (12/5) Warrington (1/4) Draw (25) Catalans Dragons (46/13) Bradford (3/8) Draw (22) Castleford (23/10) Huddsfield (7/4) Draw (20) Wigan (4/7) Hull K R (5/11) Draw (20) Widnes (2) London Broncos (8/11) Draw (20) Wakefield (11/8) Not too happy with the outsiders this week. No idea why London are odds on though, would not surprise me if Hudds won. Most probs no big bets this week maybe tiny bet on Salford  Leeds FT at 15/1 |

Interesting match-ups this weekend:
Leeds v Salford (+36)
Salford are looking very weak, but with Leeds having the 36-point handicap and the World Club Challenge coming up, it might be a close call.
St Helens v Hull (+8)
Neither setting the world on fire at the moment. Might go for Stains if Roby plays...
Warrington v Catalans (+12)
Have to fancy Warrington at home with this one.
Huddersfield v Wigan (-4)
Another close one to call. Both have got off to decent starts, and Wigan still missing Hansen. A coin-flip for me.
Hull KR v Widnes (+8)
Another high-scoring affair, but I'd go for Hull KR to out-score Widnes at home.
London v Wakefield (+4)
Would fancy Wakey on this one, after their performance against Hull KR in the second half especially.

Wakey v London is never close in recent history. Recently we get thrashed at London and return the favour at our place. Would avoid backing Wakey but getting start is tempting.
London surely can't be worse than how they have played lately

Lots of pundits backing Saints to be the side to watch this season. Not really delivering at the moment are they?
However, we all know that the performances and results now really don't matter, and they could improve throughout the season.
The Warrington v Catalan sounded like a dirty affair. Webb sin-binned twice during the game as well. Looks like Catalan aren't aiming for any fair-play awards this year.

Perversely I rather enjoyed the wire v cats game, especially when Webb got decked.
Webb and Pryce, talented as they are, are still the crafty shithouses they have always been. Although Webb isn't quite as good at getting away with it as he used to be.

Talking to a friend who was at Huddersfield for the Wigan match. He said Wigan starred well, even without Tomkins, but faded towards the end and Green had been playing with tonsillitis and was dead on his feet so had to be withdrawn. He said he wasn't overly concerned with the result, with the absentees, and the scoreline didn't reflect how close the game was, with Huddersfieldsscoring at the end when Wigan were pressing for a try.
He said the Huddersfield defence was particularly impressive and if they can maintain their form without their usual crash at the end of the season, they could be right up there in the mix.

Not a bad weekend, both Wakey and Hudds won for small profit overall.
Is Tompkins injured for a while?
