Next game up is tonight, 8pm (7am Friday NZ time) live on Sky.
Wigan v Warrington.
Wigan are coming into some form. Despite a couple of recent wins against poor teams, Warrington have seriously underperformed this season.

I'll therefore go for the pie eaters.

Good job I don't bet!
Wigan 10 - 16 Warrington

Not the greatest game. Warrington were better than they have been, Wigan scored in the first minute but otherwise rubbish

Are the Super and Lower 8s sorted yet?

Are the Super and Lower 8s sorted yet?

Almost, looks like Huddersfield will get 8th ahead of Warrington

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Todays game sees Castleford v Salford at the Mend-A Hose Jungle (Wheldon Road in reality)
Couple of key players missing for Cas, Webster and Milner. Salford change 5 of the pack since the Leeds loss.
Kick off in 20 minutes

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Cas 38 - 14 Salford
Closer than score suggests but Cas still too strong

 

[Lord Gnome of Howick MBE]

Toulouse beat Hull KR but it's looking too late for them to make the playoffs

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Danny McGuire leaving Leeds and off to Hull KR next season
Tyrone McCarthy going to Salford from St George with immediate effect

Hopeto see Manu Vatuvei play for Reds this weekend. He'll be going all out to prove a point...

 

[MarkW]

For those of us who want to jump on the Salford bandwagon to see how Manu goes, what's the best way to watch games other than SKY NZ (which only seems to show a couple of feature games each weekend)?

Although it doesn't look like Manu will get a run against Leigh.
