First one to catch the eye is HUll v Wigan on the handicap, I was expecting the handicap to be a lot bigger than that as Hull are racked by injuries and barring last weeks win against close rivals Hull KR had been playing pretty dire prior to that.
Wigan will still be smarting from last weeks defeat to warrington when they well under performed and no doubt will have been called in for extra training this week as its at that time in the season where they can ill afford to take their eye off the ball if they want to go into the playoffs as league winners and hence get the easy run of the bunch.

It will be interesting to see if it pisses down again as for some reason Wigan make a meal of any game in the wet by consistantly making handling errors but I'll be very suprised if they slip up to Hull.
Wigan win -8 @ 1.8

I'm not so sure about the rest after being stung over the previous couple of weeks , there's a few there that catch my eye but the handicaps a bit tight for my liking, I'd have jumped on Saints a fortnight ago with that handicap but that defeat to Catalans is still at the back of my mind, so I'm going to avoid it even though Saints will probbaly blow Wakefield out of the water.

Hull KR will be looking to bounce back after that narrow defeat to neighbours Hull at the weekend and I can seen them walloping Bradford but for how long can Bradford be so dire, there due a win but on current form i can't see them coming anywhere near Hull even with a 10 point start, bolllox to it , I've talked myself into it.
Hull KR win -10 @ 1.90

leeds will win but Salford are playing well at the moment so i ain't got a clue by how many points.
Warrington have a tougher task away to Catalans , I also expect them to win but again Catalans are getting players back and coming into form and could run Warrington a lot closer than those odds suggest so i'm not touching it.

I've also got a feeling for Harlequins at +14 but just don't have the confidence to put money on it as Huddersfield can be a cracking outfit if their up for it.

My thoughts exactly

However got well stung by my home team Barrow Raiders last night ! so what the hell do i know !

Rugby Leagues like that Marshy as its like treading through a minefield, earlier on in the season we got a bit of a break as everything seemed to be coming in but the last few weeks have been a lot more tougher and I've been bitten more than once , hence the reason for treading more carefully.

I was going to stick with Wigan this weekend who by the way did the business tonight , now its fingers crossed and hoping Hull KR can follow it up as I talked myself into that bet and took it on a whim.
