It wasn't the result or the crowd, just like the best comedy this week was all about timing as the board's latex soothsayer rubber duckie managed to pick up 14 points, the rest of us were butting our heads against the British Summer Time clock by varying degrees as follows,

Perhaps a blessing that we didn't paper over the cracks giving Powell a free week for some headbutting as we would've no doubt come unstuck against Wigan who managed to make Wakefield look like Wakefield rather than the 82 touring Kangaroos
Hull KR v Castleford Hull KR by 24 Catalans v St Helens: St. Helens by 16 Huddersfield v Hull FC: Huddersfield by 8 Wakefield v Wigan: Wigan by 30
Fantastic predicting from a limited 'field' sees Wire Weaver bag an impressive 20 points the rest of us weren't quite so with it as follows

A bit of a welcome upturn in fortunes for the P&B with some good performances although I'm not so sure that 'young farmer' Ratchford was the MOM

g) Catalans v Toulouse Catalans by 8 Wakefield v Castleford Castleford by 30 Leeds v Huddersfield DRAW Hull KR v Hull FC Hull KR by 12 St Helens v Wigan St Helens by 18
Obviously no one saw the draw coming at Leeds and the CEO can no doubt feel a little happier with himself that the Thursday night crowd eclipsed what most thought it would be on here. Longbarn gets top marks this week with 'just seventeen' the rest of us didn't compare as follows,.

g) Castleford v Leeds Castleford by 2 Huddersfield v St Helens St Helens by 12 Salford v Catalans Catalans by 26 Toulouse v Hull KR Hull KR by 4 Wigan v Wakefield Wigan by 44
Well a case of close but no cigar as a resilient Wire succumbed to the ref's best guess and therefore a two point defeat under the current system. CW8 came out on top this week with a dirty dozen correctly backing against the Wire by two, for the rest of us especially Wire Weaver who was pipped, it's better luck next week as follows

A bit more like it decent performance, one or two questions answered and one or two more posed with this result against a much fancied Giants side.

With Dean and Mata'utia deputizing for Widdop and Williams our first choice halves the aptly named MorePlaymakersNeeded top scored this week with a handy ten points the rest of us well there's always next week as follows,
