Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.

Harlequins RL +6 v Huddersfield -6
Hull -8 v Crusaders +8
Salford +12 v Wigan -12
Catalan Dragons +8 v St Helens -8
Warrington -4 v Leeds +4
Bradford -16 v Wakefield +16
Castleford scr v Hull K R scr
Think I will leave quins alone! God knows what they will do.
Best bets for me on there are :
Wire - Leeds front row looks very weak with all the injuries they have.
Cas - No Dobson or Webster for KR
Saints - Could Eastmond have a stormer? Catalan aren't playing that great at the moment either.
Stick a fiver on a treble and see what happens.

Though it's plausible Wigan may suffer from post WCC blues, against a poor Salford side i think they'll cover -12 easily.
Also, Saints -8 against Catalans sounds a safe un.
Not sure by other games though... Wakey v Bulls I'm not gonna touch. Same for Quins v Giants.

No doubt they'll be better this week but I think, judging by how poor they were last week, Saints COULD struggle against a big, big Catalans side and in France too. Cats have a good record against Saints

Agree with you on Wigan. The WCC must have taken it out of them, but both McRae and Alker are absent on the sidelines for Salford which could have a huge impact on the game. Wigan could rest a few and still cover that start. |

Does anybody know when the handicaps come out for the 3rd round challenge cup matches this weekend?
There usually interesting to read and sometimes the bookies can get them horribly wrong.

Just a quick one, I've recently started betting on the handicaps and had huddersfield on tonight at -8. Obviously they won by 8 points so how does it work? Is it essentially a 10-10 draw because they were given an 8 point head start, or do they just simply need to win by at least 8 points? Thanks.

That's the handicap tie I'm afraid, means a bonus for the odds complier on that one and no payout for the punter! |

Yup. Draw. Handicap draws happen more often than you might think. At 16/1 they aren't a bad bet. |

| Couldn't believe Purdham landed that last kick from the touchline.  |
