Featherstone v Wigan (-36)
Oldham v St Helens (-66)
Catalan Dragons (-50) v Sheffield
Warrington (-20) v Bradford
Batley v London Broncos (-26)
Huddersfield (-64) v Swinton
Leigh (-2) v Halifax
Salford v Leeds (-12)

Any fancies? Bradford with 20 look good for me and Riley first try for something more adventurous.

Leeds -12. Nuff said

^ That comment might haunt you at 5pm Sunday evening

I'm on Batley (+2icon_cool.gif with skybet.

Mount Pleasant is never an easy place to go to with that slope. A heavy pitch should also help Batley. John Kear also has pedigree in the challenge cup.

Have also stuck a cheeky fiver on at 11/1 for a Batley win.

Probably will but wont remember it come 6pm

Featherstone v Wigan (-36)
Catalan Dragons (-50) v Sheffield
Batley v London Broncos (-26)
Huddersfield (-64) v Swinton
Salford v Leeds (-12)

All those look decent for me.

I'd be surprised if Catalans beat us by more than 50 personally.

Wet and windy forecast for Sunday makes Batley (+26) appealing. Also, Swinton (+66) is a massive amount of points for Huddersfield to claw back

Leeds look great value

Heard on the travel that Lock Lane in Cas was shut due to flooding, expecting a heavy pitch at Fev tonight then so i'll say Fev +36 is a belting bet.

Not sure. Whilst it will reduce Wigans attacking threat it really takes it out of you playing in the mud and I expect Wigans fitness to show late on with them running away a little.

Did any one spot William Hills Wigan +38 at 10/11 ? they have changed it now but me and a few friends put sizable bets on

Featherstone v Wigan (-36)
Oldham v St Helens (-66)

Warrington (-20) v Bradford
Batley v London Broncos (-26)
Huddersfield (-64) v Swinton
Leigh (-2) v Halifax
Salford v Leeds (-12)

Would be happy to lose if Leigh win though.

I wouldnt get carried away pal. It will almost certainly be made void.

Or you would get the true odds of the bet which would be about 1/1000

I think the video ref has had a few quid on Fev. I dont agree with any of those three decisions.

Did anyone have odds for Fev to be ahead at HT.

I think all the video ref decisions were fine. But i am leaning towards the big upset like most neutrals.

The obstruction was a poor call, the defender chose to run to the dummy runner, if he didnt race in he would have tackled Tomkins. Hardmans try was dodgy, he dropped the ball and slid over it, surely putting your shoulder on the ball doesnt consitute a try? The 1st was 50/50, whether he meant to steal it or not he was still pulling at the ball.

Dickens should have gone for the headbutt. Ref didn't even see it.

When was that then? I hope you're not referring to the moment Hansen broke his nose.

There were 2 head clashes. The first was completely accidental and was caused by him running with the ball, no problem with that. It was the one seconds later where only Dickens' head moves directly into Hansen's.

No idea why i thought id made sense to back oldham at +64. Must of got carried away with the rain.

At least you're honest!

Cheeky £30 on Bradford (+22), Sheffield (+50), Batley (+22) and Leeds (-12). Promising start in the first game.

Hmm, so much for that good start. I may as well tear the slip up now after those two gifts.
