A bit of an odd week prediction wise not many had Saints down for a well deserved defeat at Wakefield and more worryingly our collective crowd forecasting is unfortunately optimistic. However, after all that there was a clear winner this week as easyWire took the points with a great score of 13. The rest of us didn't really get close as follows,

I never win anything!

I’ve put a lottery ticket on for the euromillions tonight, and if I win I promise to share it with everybody in the prediction standings.*



*Disclaimer: May not be equal shares.

Thankfully I didn’t win so face no dilemma.

Uncle Rico, ignoring the content of both of these submitted predictions (fictitious), and taking into consideration the fact that both lead to the same result, I was wondering whether you have a preference as to which format the predictions are given so as to aid in your formulation / input into the computer predictor. I keep copying and pasting the fixtures as you post them in order to complete my predictions, but if you would prefer just the answers (as per the second set) I can change my method of input (and maybe others will follow suit to make it easier for you)

Either:
a) Crowd (Halliwell Jones Stadium, Capacity 15,200): 15,200
b) Score and Winning team: Warrington 50 v 50 Bradford
c) First try (Wire player): Chris Hicks
d) Time of first try: 40 Mins
e) Last try (any team, player not time): Matt King
f) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 20

g) Widnes v Coventry Widnes by 1
Whitehaven v Rochdale Rochdale by 1
Toronto v Barrow Toronto by 1
Leigh v London Leigh by 1
Doncaster v Featherstone Featherstone by 1
York v Catalans Catalans by 1
Oldham v Hull KR Hull KR by 1

h) Hull FC v Leeds Leeds by 2
Wigan v Castleford Wigan by 2
Salford v Wakefield Wakefield by 2
St Helens v Huddersfield Saint Helens by 2

Or:
A) 15200
B) 50-50
C) Chris Hicks
D) 40 mins
E) Matt King
F) 20
G)

Widnes by 1
Rochdale by 1
Toronto by 1
Leigh by 1
Featherstone by 1
Catalans by 1
Hull KR by 1

H)
Leeds by 2
Wigan by 2
Wakefield by 2
Saint Helens by 2

Thanks for all your hard work either way

Hey not a problem Iv Div and fellow prediction pundits, I enjoy doing it and without being a sad/nerdy I'm quite interested how people predict whether it's with head, heart, or with a spread betting mentality? I'm definitely and unsuccessfully a heart man, for example might pick Myler or Dwyer as last try scorers to spite us for letting them go to Leeds

I'm pretty relaxed on the format, I'm a cut a paster, the simplified version also works as long as the other games are in the right order (helps me to scan) I even get rubber duckies home and away method, Fatbelly going for try time including seconds and 'prediction matt' picking King when they both might play.

Glad you enjoy it, long may that and our current form continue

Some fantastic close games there ID... the salary cap really is having a positive effect.

a) Crowd (Halliwell Jones Stadium, Capacity 15,200): 4,710 (4,460-4,960)
b) Score and Winning team: Warrington 54 v 6 Bradford
c) First try (Wire player): Hill
d) Time of first try: 11 mins

A Brilliant & Belting week for for our tricky poster from Leigh Bent & Bongser who not only saw his team wallop 'that there' London this weekend, but, pilled on the points with an impressive 19 point prediction haul. The rest of us weren't quite as on the ball as follows,

A great win and despite our favourite correspondent from Leigh, Bent & Bongser being true to his word and putting Charnley on a curse and this week. Also, one more attendee would have made a difference to quite a few 12,000 crowd predictions.

Well done to Hatfield Town Wire who made the most of it with 14 points

Oh well, he's the type of guy who comes from Donny town
Scored 24 points this week, so not many let him down
He predicts them and he guesses, to him it's all the same
He's our winner this week, but, we don't really know his name

We call him the Wanderer
Yeah the Wanderer

All good things come to an end and it might perk us up for the CC and our next league encounter? Not many prediction points achieved this week but our winner is kirtonLyndseywolf who ended up with 10 hard earned.
