Are you seriously trying to predict when unpredictability will happen?

| On a side note, wins for Hemel and Oxford in the Championship 1 opening day too! Hemel result particularly surprising at London Skolars.

It's called probability.

Precisely. I predict that my predictions may perhaps come true.
Next unpredictable round is pencilled in for the 2nd of June.

It's called a contradiction.

Hull away to Wakey on Monday with the injury list they've got looks far from likely that they'll win, let alone by a big margain. Hudds....who knows, their last game at home they were soundly beaten by Bradford so it's possible Widnes can compete there. HKR beat Wire at home this year so can't rule them out against Wigan. Wire/London I would say will depend on the Wire teamsheet and that they stay focused, they have to go to Leeds the following Sunday and it's the first meeting since the GF, if they go into the London game thinking straight forward 2 points then it could become trickier than it should.

To be fair, if it was shown on Sky and Warrington didn't have a poor game, the likelyhood is you would have got d****d.
As it is, it wasn't on Sky, Warrington were not at the races, but yet you lot played really well. Lets just see if you can back it up away at Hudds on Monday, especially as they are on a bit of a slider themselves at the moment.

A little contradictory if I may say so. A little bit of credit but only because you played poorly?!
However the reality is, we played well and you got dicked! That is all.

Which tune? Unforgettable? Did you forget the name of it?

| This year has been terrific so far which is amazing when you consider that folk like Garry Schofield (I know) was saying the game was dying on its feet during the off-season. They couldn't be more wrong. The number of kids coming through is starting to change the make-up of the league i.e. professionalism is instilling a belief that we didn't used to get. It's taken a while to get to this stage but I think we're slowly starting to see the rewards from teams being forced to invest in youth with the reduction of quotas and the salary cap.

| With a salary cap you would expect teams to even themselves out and can only be good in the long run. What we really need to see is an increase in skill levels and moments of outstanding brilliance to win close games.

| I think this season has been much more enjoyable than last season up to now. Not just the unpredictability of the games, but also the quality has been higher which has surprised me.
Certainly from my own club's point of view, we are playing more watchable rugby even with the loss of Finch, Leuluai, Carmont, Lima, Hock etc.
Most of the televised games have been good fare too, maybe the added incentive of a World Cup place has raised some players' games? Who knows.
