Although it's always a warm feeling coming away from Headingley with the spoils, my guess FWIW is that this was a game where Channel 4 were probably happier than Powell and for that matter definitely happier than Agar.

I couldn’t get my prediction in. There was some bug that wouldn’t let me post. It cleared after the wire game.
Still other than predicting Huddersfield correctly and a a big win for cats, prediction was pants.
Although I could argue I got the first wire try scorer correct as I wasn’t able to enter a name!!!

RD this bears no resemblance to the Prediction that I marked. You predicted a Wire win by 9 and got 2pts for 5 kicks plus 1pt each for Wakefield, Huddersfield (which wasn't correct) and Catalans (which was a win bigger than the 7 you predicted).

Other than that spot on.

Ahh it came through them. I must’ve tried about 10 times. I even tried to pm you my predictions!

Only Dita's Slot Meter with a well timed prediction saw this one coming, well him and the opposition obviously, as they definitely fancied their chances

a) Score and Winning team: Warrington 22 v 38 Wakefield
b) First try (Wire player): Ashton
c) Time of first try:2 mins
d) Last try (any team, player not time): Escare
e) Kicks over the sticks (combined):10 kicks
f) Attendance (500 margin) 8,164 (7,914 - 8,414)

g) Wigan v Castleford Wigan by 10
Catalans v Hull KR Catalans by 8
Salford V Leeds Salford by 14
Toulouse v St Helens Toulouse by 2
Hull FC Huddersfield Hull FC by 8
