Super League 2013

Ahh yes Hudds losing to Bradford and Hull doing Warr added to the other days meant 5/7 win..+£48.43 lol i should stick to RL betting.

Really baffles me the odds on RL these days, anyone can beat anyone without Handicap some nice long odds to be had.

I didn't see today's results coming.  Have Huddersfield already started their slump, they usually wait till at least June

It's very difficult to predict the results this early in the season.  Warrington were beaten by a side that were hammered by a team whose coach was sacked today! Makes it good to watch though!

Hull (4/11)    Draw (25) Castleford (13/5)
Leeds (1/3)   Draw (25)Huddersfield (41/13)
Warrington (1/3)  Draw (25)St Helens (11/4)
Widnes (15/8)     Draw (20)Bradford (6/11)
Wigan (3/10)      Draw (25)Catalans Dragons (13/4)
London Broncos (6/4)  Draw (20)Hull K R (11/17)
Wakefield (1/5)   Draw (33) Salford (9/2)

I like the outsiders this week, Hudds are a decent price to bounce back against Leeds and so are Saints.

Catalan must be a decent price against Wigan.  O'Loughlin and Tuson are doubts for the match (not sure on their current status, but they both got knocks in the game against Cas - I think Lockers will be having a last-minute test before the game, but Tuson is expected to be OK), and Mossop is now alongside Hansen, Lauaki and Goulding as those out for a while.

Spencer has been recalled from Leigh to be ready as cover if Crosby is ruled out after his concussion.

So, with such decimation in the forward line, and the size and strength of Catalan's pack, it's going to be a big ask for Wigan even though they're at home.

Ahh interesting, I like the French but was kinda put off with the narrow win last week at home vs Wakey. I will still be backing them vs Wigan tho.

i've cancelled my sky sports and gone for watching the NRL on Premier Sports.
Watched Souths yesterday, jesus you wouldn't mess with the Burgess family, they are all huge.
They could be the cornerstone of an England pack for the future.

Goulding and Prescott still out as well - missed them off the list!

Cronulla Sharks coach Shane Flanagan has been sacked in the wake of the doping scandal engulfing the NRL club.

Football manager Darren Mooney, head trainer Mark Noakes, physiotherapist Konrad Schultz and club doctor David Givney have also been sacked.

The decision by the club's board - on the eve of the Sydney club's season-opening weekend - came after Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) found that 14 players were found to be using banned substances.

Flanagan said: "I still believe that the players have not done anything wrong. I don't oversee anything. My involvement...I've got no idea, bar being coach at the time.
Focus

"I've worked really hard to get this footy team together and I feel sorry for all the current players as well as the new players who have come to our club.

"Now they've just been ripped apart."

NRL chief executive Dave Smith backed the Sharks' decision, saying: "The board is acting decisively by putting in place management changes at the highest level.

"Our focus is on supporting the club in a way that will give players, supporters and sponsors confidence in the future."

Told you. 18-0 to Wigan at half time.

couple more 3/1s for the bank, easy game this league. Bookies cluless on these.

Good job i had it in nice double..

Super Paddy Richards. 200th game for Wigan, and he scored his 150th and 151st tries. WWhen he joined the club a lot of the fans thought he was rubbish. But after a season and a bit he started to fit in and became a fantastic player for the club.

A brilliant player, and one of my all-time favourites. Huge shoes to fill when he decides to retire.

Cat I just seen a few times now and they seem to have gone backwards from last season. Wigan did very well though!

Two draws! least we picked the two outsider wins. Salford will be gutted with Wakey drop goal so late. How on earth did Cas beat leads all those weeks ago? seen the highlights and they looked so bad against Hull FC.

Quiet weekend next for SL, Leeds vs Wigan.

[kinboshi]

How many draws have their been this season, and surely it's far more than usual. I can't remember a season with as many as we've had so far.

Leeds v Wigan next week will depend a lot on who is available for each side, and who's out injured.  Could be a draw
