The curse of 'kids for a kid' or the slowest of slow starts as Catalans take the points whilst 'Prediction Matt' comes of age in this week's comp with a big eighteen points. The rest of us will hopefully have Matt looking for his false ID next week and scored as follows

Apparently this was an 'acid test' game that was meant to give us a good idea of what kind of a footie team that we are this year. Well if that's the case then I think that we can all take heart that this season appears to be heading in the right direction. OMG someone else who's heading in the right direction this week is OMJ with a decent dozen. The rest of us will hope for better times next week as follows,

Most people predicted a Wire win apart from our welcome guest Snowy, with a couple guessing that two point margin putting Barbed Wire and Wire and Steel top of this week's charts with eleven each. The rest of us will be hoping for better luck next time out as follows,

Wins are tough against Salford in the 'El CasaRico' Derby it seems, particularly against a team no doubt buoyed by their coach spurning the chance of commuting to East Yorkshire. Pride of prediction place goes to Sir Adrian Morley with 10 'traitor' inspired points, the rest of us need to up our game next week and I'm sure that we all hope for a 'faithful ' result...(not an Old One to be clear!!)

I've dropped off the standings list, have I been disqualified for thinking we would win comfortably on Saturday?
Should be on 60 points with Walter
Apologies CW8 order is hopefully restored.
No idea what happened to my editing finger, but if thinking we would win on Saturday was the criteria for losing your place in the Standings then there wouldn't be much of a competition this week.

Back to winning ways and a Thewlis hat trick including the first provided quite a few points in the comp this week. However, karetaker takes top spot this week with a brilliant 14 points despite a few coupon busters in the other games section. Better luck next time for everyone else as follows,

A game of two halves with decent defence in the second half seeing us home against stiff opposition. Wire Weaver is this week's Star Turn with 13 points thanks in no small part to a correct Wire Score prediction. The rest of us will be looking for a run in the Cup next week as follows,
