1900 Friday...still a few last-minutes to come.
It`s the last round of the "regular" tipping season
Already!
Hardly seems like any time since the first round.
But there`s still loads up for grabs. As in the League,
Phil L (Saints) looks almost certain to claim the title,
unless he completely blows it against Lloyd (Leeds)
And, just like Catalans, Stefos will be hoping to have
3rd place sewn up, while after that, the last 3 places
for the Playoffs are just about anybody`s, so after each
day`s games, I`ll be posting a quick summary of the
top places.
As a reminder, they are......
1 Phil L 203
2 Lloyd Barkham 196
3 Stefos 185
4 St Dave 180
4 John Charnock 180
6 Gordon Murray 175

Oooh! Nail-biting stuff in a cracking match at Knowsley Road
tonight, and Wakefield seem to have pushed Leeds quite a bit
tonight before conceding enough late tries to giive 5 tipsters
spot-on margins.
Meanwhile I`m happy to fall out of the top 6
Honest!

Blinkin` `eck!
Whoever said that the bottom teams would have nothing to
play for? Tell that to Warrington.
And Bradford only squeezed through by the skin of their teeth
Talking of which, Phil L`s lead at the top is being slowly
whittled away.
Can he hold on?????

Oooooooerrrrrrr!!
Hull KR have just beaten Hull FC
....giving Phil L an extreme attack of the jitters
Two weeks ago Phil had a lead of pts over Lloyd
But since then Phil has failed to add to his points tally,
while Lloyd has relentlessly ground him down.
Now with just one game left in the regular season...
Who`s gonna win ???????
And who`s gonna be in the top 6
