A predictably low scoring round this week with most of us opting for Wire continuing their 'decent run' against a Wigan team that hadnt read their pre-semi final scripts. Yours truly topped the charts with a less than Magnificent Seven whilst the rest of you ranged from The Good,The Bad and The Ugly as follows,

He's better than steady is 'our' Eddie he's a proper Hot Rod as he top scores this week with 15 points the rest of us, well although we generally got the gist that our hosts would be allowed to Do anything you want to do, apart from Walt we were mostly some way behind as follows,

Quite an entertaining game and from a TV viewing perspective it looked like a good choice of venue. I'm sure I'm not alone feeling a bit sorry for Huddersfield but it wasn't totally unexpected when Marshall went over to seal the victory late on. Old Man John certainly profited from it ensuring that he was our Prediction Comp Lance Todd with 24 points.
The rest of us well thanks for taking my lack of First Try editing in good spirit with an honorable mention to Douglas Black who selected Hill

One for the Trash Can rather than the Memory Bank unless of course you can learn from what is hopefully our nadir of performances. Who made the most of it as far a the Prediction Comp is concerned I hear you ask? Well he's been called a chief and he's a mate but really he's a Captain that top scored this week with 10 points.

Despite a late rally from Prediction Matt it was more misery for Powell's Wire away at Wakey (will someone wake me up when this is over) as Tanginoa ensured the spoils stayed in the rhubarb shed. Old Man John and Longbarn Wire did manage to make it to the top of our heap the king's of our hill whilst the rest of us have to wrestle with our little town blues as follows

Well what can you say other than well done to Rugby (the poster not the game) and Captain Hook who topped our prediction charts this week. Their tens had me daydreaming of an afternoon with Bo Derek at the Halliwell Jones next weekend I'm sure she'd love it.......the rest of us were more Dudley Moore as follows,
