This weekend's results have caught a lot of tipsters on the hop
yet again. Only in the Bradford game had a scoreline correctly
tipped. The surprises came with the ease of Saints victory at
Wigan, the narrowness of Warrington's victory at Huddersfield,
the biggest shock was Castleford's blowout against the weakened
Harlequins and we had the ease of Hull FCs victory against Hull
KR.

*Tipsters of the Week* are Lloyd, Toytown and Vicky Brookes on
+11

At the top of the ladder we have Phil L on 180, Lloyd on 178,
Gordon reclaiming third spot on 168 and St Dave fourth on 165.

Surely not!!!! Noone got anywhere near.

Lloyd

Many thanks to WirralSaint for yet again minding the
shop at short notice

(Son-and-heir has reacted badly to the Yorkshire air,
and had to be re-admitted to Leeds General Infirmary
on Thursday. Me and the missus are now regular
commuters on the Mbleedin62)

Having just returned, yet again, from Leeds (....why,
incidentally, did Radio Leeds cover the Huddersfield-
Wire game on Saturday night, but not the even more
important Catalans game? ), I am pleased to see that
I am still 3rd. But what puzzles me is the make up of
tipsters near the top of the Ladder....at least 7, if not
8 of the top 10 are Saints supporters

Are Saints fans just better at tipping, than everyone else???

:-)

Sometimes we put these stats and results up and wonder if they get
looked at. So thanks Lloyd for spotting my mistake there. We rush
to get results out as quickly as possible and sometimes we do it
without double checking. Actually Lloyd not only were the points
stats for the Cas game wrong, but for all todays games. I copied
and pasted intending to put the correct points stats and forgot
so here they are:
