Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos. KO 20:00 *SKY*

Bradford Bulls v Celtic Crusaders. KO 15:00

Normal service resumes after last weeks Challenge cup games. Game of the round's got to be between Wigan and KR, the two form teams in the SL at the moment, and a possible preview of the Challenge Cup final. Only wish Sky were showing it.

Dragons V Saints an interesting replay of last weekends Challenge cup encounter in which the Dragons were thumped off the park by Saints. Lets see how they do at home (the quintessential home town team, hey they may even turn the Saints over.....)

Wakefield Wildcats
Bradford Bulls, slap them

Cas against Leeds could be a thriller or Cas could choke, just like they did against Wakey, and Leeds will stroll it.

Wigan and KR is a tough one to call but if Wigan continue the form they have shown over the past month they will be too strong for KR.

Hull will be test of how far Tony Smith has brought the Wires on and I expect them to beat a struggling Hull.

Catalan will find it very hard to beat Saints, even though they are playing at home.

Quinns and Wakefield could be close but home advantage should be the decider here.

Bulls should have no problems overcoming Salford, just as the Giants will give Celtic another drubbing.

My Leeds by 18 prediction looking good right now. :P

Can't believe the ref Called Webb for moving off the mark. There's been a few worse examples of it already just in this match.

Not looking good for Burrow at the moment. If the rain doesn't let up I can see the match ending early, already some waterlogging in and around the try areas. Seems to have lightened a bit though.

Just out of interest, does the "momentum" rule apply to knock ons as well as passes?

No,not to my knowledge. Crazy weather for the Cas/Leeds game, cant believe it turned out to be as entertaining as it was. Cannot credit the way the Dragons blew it against the Saints. I know they're the RL equivalent of Lazarus, but that was one the Dragons let go...

Celtic break their duck and take down the Bulls...couldn't have happened at a better place!!!:D and Huddersfield mullered at home by the Reds, seems like the new boys have very definitely arrived...

Paul Tergat

wow, we are an absolute joke these days. Can beat the big boys now and then but for some reason cant get up for the lesser teams. Can't see Macnamara being there much longer.

Dozen Wicked Words

Just got in from work, had to double check the Bulls Crusaders result.
Funny old game.

Another nice win for the Quins lifts them into 4th.
