My predictions are about as accurate as the person next to me in the table it seems

a) Score and Winning team: Warrington 42 v 0 London
b) First try (Wire player): Thewlis
c) Time of first try: 1 minute
d) Last try (any team, player not time): Nicholson
e) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 3
f) Attendance (500 margin): 3,416 (3,166 - 3,666)

g) Hull KR v Salford: Hull KR by 40
Leeds v St Helens: St Helens by 14
Wigan v Sheffield: Wigan by 26
Huddersfield v Hull FC: Huddersfield by 44
Leigh v Featherstone: Leigh by 12
Batley v Castleford: Castleford by 14
Halifax v Catalans: Catalans by 36

Apart from kicking boots and on the terraces it looks like we are up for Cup!! Some decent scoring gives us a Scoreboard topped by Barbed Wire this week with a 'Bakers'. The rest of us like the team can right a few wrongs next week against Catalans.

Did one of the Friday games kick off before 8pm?

The list I saw had them all as 8pm.

No I will have a look at my settings as I have you down as a 9.00pm post whilst MorePlaymakersNeeded is at 8.17pm and marked as such.

TBF that's why I highlighted it*

Apparently its 3.04pm in Rico Land ha ha

The curse of 'kids for a kid' or the slowest of slow starts as Catalans take the points whilst 'Prediction Matt' comes of age in this week's comp with a big eighteen points. The rest of us will hopefully have Matt looking for his false ID next week and scored as follows

Apparently this was an 'acid test' game that was meant to give us a good idea of what kind of a footie team that we are this year. Well if that's the case then I think that we can all take heart that this season appears to be heading in the right direction. OMG someone else who's heading in the right direction this week is OMJ with a decent dozen. The rest of us will hope for better times next week as follows,

Wins are tough against Salford in the 'El CasaRico' Derby it seems, particularly against a team no doubt buoyed by their coach spurning the chance of commuting to East Yorkshire. Pride of prediction place goes to Sir Adrian Morley with 10 'traitor' inspired points, the rest of us need to up our game next week and I'm sure that we all hope for a 'faithful ' result...(not an Old One to be clear!!)

I've dropped off the standings list, have I been disqualified for thinking we would win comfortably on Saturday?

Should be on 60 points with Walter

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: Warrington 24 v 6 Hull FC
b) First try (Wire player):Thewlis
c) Time of first try: 10 mins
d) Last try (any team, player not time): Briscoe
e) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 5 kicks
f) Attendance (500 margin):8,650 (8,430 - 8,930)

g) Wigan v Catalans Wigan by 22
Huddersfield v Salford Salford by 2
Leeds v London Leeds by 38
Hull KR v St Helens Hull KR by 20
Leigh v Castleford DRAW

Back to winning ways and a Thewlis hat trick including the first provided quite a few points in the comp this week. However, karetaker takes top spot this week with a brilliant 14 points despite a few coupon busters in the other games section. Better luck next time for everyone else as follows,
