Two red hot Challenge Cup Semi Finals this weekend and quite an enjoyable outing to the Costa St Helens for all with a P&B persuasion (including two new Rico-ette recruits) Top scorers this week with 24 scorchio points are The Speculator and Mr Snoodle.

Another impressive win for the 'Sunshine Boys' as the Wire keep the heat on the 'big two' at the top of the table. Karetaker is this week's Txapeldun with 14 points the rest of us have obviously spent too much time 'lazing by the pool to earn our berets as follows

The narrowest of margins and if ever a bit of comfort could be garnered in defeat this was surely it. I'm never comfortable backing against us so apologies for yours truly coming out on top this week with 15pts to be fair largely down to Saints and Salford and 'prediction Matt' uncharacteristically backing us for the win. Better luck next week to you all.

Well done to Sir Adrian Morley who tops the prediction charts with 24 points this week. I'm sure that our Adrian would have traded some of those points for a Wire win, but it was not to be. Onwards and hopefully upwards as we return to league action this Friday against Salford...

Despite not many predicting it, these defeats and lack lustre performances against Rowley's Salford are becoming predictable....Old Man John and yours truly were top of the pop pickers these week, the rest will be hoping for better things next week against Hull FC as follows,

Although a win I think that the break has come at the right time for this group. Top pop picker this week is Wire n Steel with an impressive 16 points. They are obviously made of the Right Stuff whilst the rest of us could do with getting back on track when the league action resumes in a couple of week's time as follows,

I'd have this as decent win lots of enforced changes pre and during the match, plenty of tries from a variety of scorers and a nil, what's not to like? Mr. Snoodle is this week's winner with nine points whilst the rest of us will need to up our game when Leeds come to town on Thursday as follows

g) London v Castleford Castleford by 14 Wigan v St Helens Wigan by 4 Hull FC v Hull KR Hull KR by 14 Leigh v Huddersfield Leigh by 4 Salford v Catalans (Catalans v Salford) VOID
Apologies to ALL for the Catalans mix up the MRP have decided to void the result as there was a mixture of prediction combinations including corrected venues with correct and incorrect results. As no one had a four pointer the contributors that picked Salford have effectively a net gain of one point on the field, (Good job I wasn't on TV Election duties we wouldn't know who'd got in)
Top picks this week were karetaker, Wanderer and (embarrassingly) me Uncle Rico with 11 points (all were 12). Good luck to the rest of you next week as follows,

A great win simple as that and although most on here predicted it this week it was made all the sweeter by us having Harrison sent off so that the teams were more even given that I understand that Saints might have an injury or two.
