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

He's got overexcited wanting to telepathically connect with Johnny Vegas.
Once the tablets kick in he'll duly amend the standings, RD.

oh he's in there level with Walter Wizard and Moving Forward you can't delete our latex friend

Im in the league but not credited with my semi results.

There's a Carry On film script building in this thread!

Infamy infamy...
They all have it in-fa-me

Ahhh perhaps a bit more information than you can't see yourself in there might have given yours truly a clue as I knew I'd moved you up the league. I will edit but rest assured your on the back of my envelope at Prediction Competition Headquarters.

Carry On Cabby, or Carry On Up the Khyber I'm not sure what's more appropriate but rest assured it's all Carrying On at Your Convenience
