Hi UR. What were the results and figures?

A pre Wembley defeat at Cas was predicted by the majority on here however one poster filled his double prediction boots with an ancient-tastic 28 points, Old Man John. The rest of us presumably younger posters showed our big game inexperience as follows,

38pts Old Man John
24pts Wire Weaver
20pts Hicks is a God
18pts Alffi_7
16pts Moving On

Not a happy weekend at chez Rico and I'm sure there's plenty of flatness bordering on misery at other 'Wire Households'...ah well a GF victory will cheer us up.

Apologies folks I went to bed last night and realised a bit like the ex mayor that I had undervalued George King. He was worth 12 prediction points to matt6169 who's total is therefore this week's winner with 18.

Sorry KLW and HTW for the false hope (typically Wire) you've had to lose 10 bonus pojnts

Well done "matt6169" for having George King as the last try scorer. It's a bit like "Duckies nailed on signings". Eventually one will come true if you keep saying the same thing.

a) Crowd (Halliwell Jones Stadium, Capacity 15,200): 8,101 (7,851- 8,351)
b) Score and Winning team: Warrington 80 v 10 Hull FC
c) First try (Wire player): Charnley
d) Time of first try: 2mins
e) Last try (any team, player not time): Goodwin
f) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 13

g) Huddersfield v Wakefield Wakefield by 26
St Helens v Wigan Wigan by 20
Castleford v Catalans Castleford by 32

Well that was a bit unpredictable and whilst Wire Weaver was away on their jolly 'olidays (remember folks you can always post in advance or PM me) Hicks is a God was taking full advantage collecting 24 prediction points whilst the rest of the gang fared as follows

Top four secured a bit different to this time last year!! They say that a week is long time in politics well it's the same on our Prediction Comp and in "Punters Page" style last week's 'also ran', Wire n Steel romped home with 20 valuable points well done. The rest of us 'came home' as follows,

A bit of a bizarre game I actually thought at one stage we'd be seeing a repeat of our Floodlit Trophy game v Salford back in 190plonk!! Anyway points were eventually scored ensuring that we had a prediction comp based on more than guess the attendance, so here goes.

Well done to kirtonLyndseywolf and AC Wire who both managed 20 points with the rest of us lagging behind as follows,

Hi UR position 5 should be 305 points?

So it should no idea where that came from specsavers for me

a) Crowd (Belle Vue Stadium, Capacity 9,333): 4,140 (3,890-4,390)
b) Score and Winning team: Wakefield 23 v 36 Warrington
c) First try (Wire player): Murdoch Masila
d) Time of first try: 4 mins
e) Last try (any team, player not time): Atkins
f) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 10 kicks

g) St Helens v Castleford St Helens by 26
Wigan v Hull FC Wigan by 2
Catalans v Huddersfield Catalans by 10

Decent win away at Wakefield never straightforward over there. However what was straightforward was a very TIMELY return to form for our persistent high flyer the boards' very own 'Roger Bannister the 4 minute wonder Rugby who raced home with 28 points to retake top spot

"We are the best in the league, we have beaten St Helens, St Helens birthplace of giants!! Lebron James, Saddened, Judder Man, AS 108, the Yellow Giraffe, St Pete, everyone on Red Vee"

"Johnny Vegas, can you hear me? Johnny Vegas your boys took one hell of a beating"

Anyway, here goes with this week's results and there's no stopping 'our Rugby' again despite being off with their try timing. Double/double points on offer and a brilliant 32 points gained surely puts Rugby in an unassailable lead? Although there's triple points on offer next week
