[slick]

here's the players in the England squad to play France, I'm naming them as it may well have a bearing on this weeks games so keep them in mind b4 placing any bets..

Widdop (Melbourne Storm), Briscoe (Hull FC), Bridge (Warrington), Shenton (Castleford), Hall (Leeds), Brown (Huddersfield), S Tomkins (Wigan), Graham (St Helens), Sinfield (Leeds), Peacock (capt, Leeds), Ellis (West Tigers), Burgess (South Sydney), O'Loughlin (Wigan). Replacements: Roby (St Helens), Morley (Warrington), Westwood (Warrington), J Tomkins (Wigan). 18th man: Scruton (Bradford).

As for the French team, most of their players will be from the Catalan Dragons so no doubt the reason they are playing on Tuesday instead of this weekend.

[slick]

with so many key players missing for most of the top sides its hard to see which way to turn here.

I'm willing to give Quins another chance after they got back into their stride last weekend battering the Crusaders, Leeds won't be easy pickings but with Hall, Sienfield and Peacock missing they will be left with a large void to fill. Harelquins remain unchanged which means still time out for Rob Purdham but if they produce like they did last weekend they stand every chance here.
Just noticed Quins are +8 with SportingBet which will do me.
Harlequins win +8 @ 1.91

I need a good think about the other games as theres a lot of ifs and buts amongst them as i just found out by spending over an hour looking at them all and still coming to no conclusions.

[slick]

I keep looking at Huddersfield @ +6 paddypower, Wins or soembody please talk me out of it.

[slick]

Np's I've talked myself out of it, I should be looking at that sort of Handicap should Huddersfield be playing at home.

[Champ1on]

Beat me to it slick, if huddersfield were at home i would be all over that but away to saints, even without graham, still think they will cover the -6. If leeds are still -4 i will be on that to. I know quins were better last week but it was against Crusaders who have had a good start but are tailing off now and i can't see them performing like they were, the squad just isnt there. Tempted to get on Bradford but they are just way to inconsistent!

[slick]

Cheers Champ, just aswell i left it well alone as Sainst came through.
Good win for Warrington though which puts them back on my A list, as for Bradford Champ I don't know , they should and probbaly will beat the Crusaders but after last weeks debacle when they got thrashed at home by Huddersfield I'd personally give them a wide berth until they pick up a bit of form again, especially at those odds.

[Champ1on]

Whats your bet for the international? Im looking at the -48. They have a few injuries and if they play like catalans have so far they could cover 60!

[slick]

Soz Champ I wasn't around on Saturday to see your post, just aswell as I was in two minds whether to go with France at that high handicap, glad I never.

Odds at the top look a bit to cock too as Cass are never 3.5's was about to jump on it as its a no lose situation considering the other odds, there actually 11/100 which isnt even worth thinking about.
