thought i would get in early with my teams for this week before they have been posted on handicap. and will be betting on the following and if the handicap is out shall re post

bradford from scratch, saint very lucky last week and bradford were looking good and could have won by more take a shot on deacons boot to be first score

wigan -8 will be too strong for hull should be a few points scored with over 45 being good 44 and 74 in first 2 games

leeds -16 think it will be higher than this but seems a good starting point

quins from scratch to beat wakey looked good and bad respectfully last week so back quins from scratch and if wakey get a start back the tie also to win on both

casleford -6 they have been good in first half but seem to slip up late on in the match so with match fitness they should improve lets see if this is the week

warrington from scratch but tif hull kr get any start around 8 take it. 2 major injuries could hamper wire this week and not sure how good in depth they are

bradford -4 still looks good

leeds should hammer catalan but leeds -24 might be too much so will give this a miss i think but might go and place a bet on winning margin around 16

wigan still look good -8 lump on it Win

this is the best match bet on quins scratch and tie at +6 to wakey both have had good wins and big defeats so will be close tie might be 10-1

need to be wire at +4 kr have been good but how good ar they last minute against catalan

cas getting a start defo a bet this

Warrington at 5/4 at rovers is a great price imo

wires will run away with it last 20 minutes ,as long as they are in touch as they concede points easily but score at will, the bookies are too confident in rovers home form which was dire last season to say the least and although recruited well this season they have scraped 2 victories and it wont be long before the bubble bursts Fingers Crossed

i don't think its ever wise to write off the saints.
i've gone for saints +4 and wigan scr 8/11 double.
there is also the alternative handicap of saints +10 at 1/2 which seems quite interesting.

should be a great game ever way

Catalans + 24 looks tempting. The frence side are definitly better than they were last year and have already won away this season - albiet Castleford.

Bradford v Saints
Obviously as a Bradford fan i may be a little biased but i really think we will win tonight and let me explain why,St Helens have to rely on Paul Sculthorpe to do their goal kicking and while he is a good player he has just returned from a long injury Lay off and he is not yet 100% fit,Bradford have Paul Deacon who has been on awsome form this season and he kicked 7 from 7 last week against Huddersfield.
Terry Newton has been the best player in the superleague this season i believe and hes been scoring a few tries too, he will lead us round the park tonight but im really looking forward to see him up against Cunningham.
Should be a close game as i have said but Bradford have the edge in goal kicking which will without a doubt decide the outcome of this game.
Bradford -4 1/1 for me tonight

Hull FC v Wigan
When i saw Wigan's handicap was only -6 i almost wet myself,Hull have alot of injuries and have to rely on youngsters yet again,Harlequins are not a strong side in this years superleague but they beat Hull by 18 points last week and now Hull face much better side tonight.
Wigan have a strong pack who will simply roll over the young Hull pack so this could be an easy night for Wigan.
Wigan -6 10/11 bet of the season so far.

Leeds v Catalan Dragons
The handicap is very high for this match but going from form how can anyone back against Leeds? Leeds are on awsome form and have thrashed everyone they have played so far. Catalan are extremly poor when playing away from home so a night at headingly wont do them any good.
Leeds -20 10/11

I agree with comments about wigan being a good bet - on the handicap with Betfair they're - 6.5 points for over even money. This Hull outfit have 6 first team players out of action. Fingers Crossed

Good Luck

considering it only says Rugby and not a code I will give you a few tips

Bradford to beat St Helens

Both teams lost their opening matches but got back to winning ways last week, the Bulls impressed me the most beating Huddersfield at Odsal. They have a very strong team with the likes of Joe Vagana and Paul Deacon they are definetley a team to fear, Deacon was brilliant last week and if he kicks well and playmakes well then I can definetley see the Bulls winning as St Helens showed last week that they can be breached defensivley and I think the Bulls have plenty of talent to do that.

Crusaders to beat Bulls Super 14

These two have been very succesful in recent years and the Crusaders will be desperate to avenge the Bulls for a semi final defeat last season. The Crusaders have a very talented team when you can call on the likes of All Blacks Leon McDonald, Dan Carter, Ali Williams and Richie McKaw then you know you have a talented team. The Bulls also have a good team but they have injuries to key players Bakkies Botha, Victor Matfield and Brian Habana miss out tonight and they will be big losses for them. The Crusaders have a good record against the Bulls win 7 of their last 10 and they will be hoping to win 8 of 11 tonight.

Italy U20's +23.5 v Wales U20's

Wales should win this match but I think at times against Scotland they gave a lot of penalties away and that will give Italy chances tonight especially with a very good pack. The Azzuri U20 team is exactly like their Seniors very physical and they will make it very hard for the Welsh. Their last match against England was a very positive one they lost only 22-13 which was a very good performance and I fancy them to go to Rodney Parade and play well again tonight.

Cant believe what happened tonight. Leeds were the only handicap I avoided as I thought it would be close, as it turns out they were the only ones who covered it!

Bradford lost to Saints after being 16-0 down, but the shock of Wigan blowing a decent lead to LOSE?!?!

This month gets worse and worse for me Crying or Very sad

Is it just me or is superleague as unpredictable as ever? i was extremly confident of atleast getting 2 out of 3 bets correct last night but i ended up with only 1 correct resulting in a loss for the night Mad

i may have to start playing with smaller stakes for rugby league from now on.
