Apologies CW8 order is hopefully restored.

No idea what happened to my editing finger, but if thinking we would win on Saturday was the criteria for losing your place in the Standings then there wouldn't be much of a competition this week.

a) Score and Winning team: Catalans 8 v 16 Warrington
b) First try (Wire player): Williams
c) Time of first try: 44 minutes
d) Last try (any team, player not time): Davies
e) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 6
f) Attendance (500 margin): 9,493 (9,243-9,743)

g) Castleford v Hull FC Castleford by 8
Huddersfield v Leigh Leigh by 6
St Helens v Leeds St Helens by 30
London v Hull KR Hull KR by 50
Salford v Wigan Wigan by 20

Another impressive win for the 'Sunshine Boys' as the Wire keep the heat on the 'big two' at the top of the table. Karetaker is this week's Txapeldun with 14 points the rest of us have obviously spent too much time 'lazing by the pool to earn our berets as follows

The narrowest of margins and if ever a bit of comfort could be garnered in defeat this was surely it. I'm never comfortable backing against us so apologies for yours truly coming out on top this week with 15pts to be fair largely down to Saints and Salford and 'prediction Matt' uncharacteristically backing us for the win. Better luck next week to you all.

Well done to Sir Adrian Morley who tops the prediction charts with 24 points this week. I'm sure that our Adrian would have traded some of those points for a Wire win, but it was not to be. Onwards and hopefully upwards as we return to league action this Friday against Salford...

Despite not many predicting it, these defeats and lack lustre performances against Rowley's Salford are becoming predictable....Old Man John and yours truly were top of the pop pickers these week, the rest will be hoping for better things next week against Hull FC as follows,

Although a win I think that the break has come at the right time for this group. Top pop picker this week is Wire n Steel with an impressive 16 points. They are obviously made of the Right Stuff whilst the rest of us could do with getting back on track when the league action resumes in a couple of week's time as follows,
