Today might be regarded as 'Black Sunday' for our tipsters because
all 3 results today went against the tipping trends, which made
scoring very difficult for many. How delightfully unpredictable are
Castleford, Huddersfield and Quinns. On their day they can go down
by very big scores, and from time to time they can turn in a big
score totally unexpectedly against just about any side. All three
have taken some big 'scalps' this year.

As for our tipping well many have 0 scores for the week (me
included) and a few -1 scores too.

*Tipsters of the Week* with +9 were Danny and Mark Raynor

At the top of the table we have Phil L on 195, Lloyd on 185,
and third Bill L on 172.
