Leeds have already run 1 cricket score up on us this season and with us having no Leuluai due to that stupidly timed Anzac test they could well run up another one!

No idea why but I have a feeling Hull will do Bradford.

Hi guys, first time this week i have been able to get on here!!

Work is crazy at the moment, will try to add some comments later in the week!

Trent Barrett Signs for Wigan.

Wonder if he realises he could be playing National League rugby

Wakefield+12 seems a tad generous to me at Salford,with Betfred.

No Solomona for Wakey - he's off playing in that test match in NZ too.

He can't go because of a passport fcuk up (basically it's at the foreign office having the visa updated). So he will most likely be playing and most likely be very, very angry.

That makes a big difference then. I don't fancy Salford so much now!

Why couldn't the foreign office have knackered Leuluai's chances of going?!

From what I've read the NZ foreign office got in touch with the NZ rugby league chiefs and offered to sort it out. They bizarrely declined.

That seems a strange one. He had an excellent tri-nations and you'd have thought they'd have wanted him against the Aussies.

Not much action in here today, must all be out sunbathing

Well for the Wigan - Cas game i've taken Wigan -12 as i think they are now starting to finish off moves near the try line as oppose to a few weeks back when they did seem quite confused.

Cas had a strong result last week vs Salford but they hit a Salford team that was out on it's feet in the last 30 mins due to playing a couple of hard back to back games.

Calderwood starts tonight and with any luck he might see a bit of early ball and start to get his scoring touch back.

Bets Calderwood 1st try 10/1, Wigan -12 10/11
And going for a Wigan penalty as first scoring play @ 6/1 as Cas seem very indisciplined recently

[Bobbyhead]

Where is everyone? Done Wigan-10 and Salford+12 at crap odds in double,with VC.Good luck to all tonight,

+14 Cas looks value tonight. Cas already a 38-18 victory over Wigan under their belts already this season. Outstanding fighting spirit against Saford last week coming back from the dead. Wigans defence was absolutely woeful again last week for the umpteenth time. Ive totally lost faith in backing them. I fancy Cas to match Wigan try for try. Which is why.....

Its looking like its going to be a points fest tonight with the two worst defences meeting up. Over 52 points looks a really strong contender.

With my run though at the moment my tips are better opposed.

I also fancy Wakey, Bradford and Leeds on the handicap. Get them opposed.

Alas its probably to late now but good luck to all!

[henry]

This really is going to be a try fest! Both defences are really poor!

6-6 9 minutes gone!

2nd try no good

[henry]

HT Wigan 12-22 Cas

HT Leeds 24-6 Quinns

HT Salford 0-14 Wakey


HT Hull 22-12 Bradford

Things looking good at mo but still time for the bananas to disappear.

Cas over 31 points looks really outstanding value inplay. Wigans defence has been suitably charitable and 2 tries look far from beyond Cas.

Apologies to those on the Wigan handicap if I appear to be rubbing it in. It really is unintentional. Im really sorry I wasnt able to contribute much to the pre match debate.

No prob, although i'll be accused of after eventing i took Cas off levels at half time 11/10 or10/11 not sure which with Stan james, so i covered my losses, but no winner

Nice one tho henry

FT Wigan 24-30 Cas

FT Leeds 36-24 Quinns

FT Salford 26-16 Wakey


FT Hull 28-12 Bradford

Wigan v Cas Over 52 points


Inplay Cas over 31(Got the 2 tries but Huby was hopeless with the conversions)

Oh well! Quinns getting 24 points at Leeds was the real surprise for me. Not been that prolific this season and missing Tommy tonight. Bit disappointed over the In play. I thought the second conversion was very kickable.

Looking at long term markets. I quite fancy Wigan for National League 1 next season bar Scott Moore making a shock move to the JJB. I might just hold back on that one until Mr Moore finalises his future plans.
