I didn't get to see the game and after reading the reports on here I'm not quite sure what to make of it TBH. An Inglis debut try in a high scoring game should have us all excited and looking forward to more good things to come and yet...........
a) Score and Winning team: Warrington 50 v 26 Hull KR b) First try (Wire player): King c) Time of first try: 4 mins d) Last try (any team, player not time): Charnley e) Kicks over the sticks (combined): 10
f) Wigan v Hull FC Wigan by 2 Leigh v St Helens St Helens by 10 Wakefield v Catalans Catalans by 20 Salford V Castleford Castleford by 10 Huddersfield v Leeds Huddersfield by 1
They say that Life imitates Art well the Prediction Comp certainly reflected our game with plenty of points picked up. This week's high roller is Old Man John who aided by the Huddersfield 1 amassed a very decent 16 points. The rest of us will have to be a bit more creative next week as follows

Another win against highly fancied Catalans put us into the hat for the semi final draw and I suppose no matter who we were paired with there was going to be a bit of a back story, the potential for some recent Challange Cup scores to be settled or a game against our next coach which of course we ended up with

Some excellent predicting this week, even a correct score wasn't enough to 'cut the custard' as CW8 was one of a few that got their timings right and thought that Widdop will continue his top form. The rest of us fared as follows,

There's plenty on here been written about the game but as far as the Prediction Comp goes there are a few on here, me included that deservedly picked up a low score, mind you KR and Salford added to the 'chaos' with welcome wins as far as they are concerned.
Top of our pops are Rugby and karetaker with 9 points, the rest of us need to be a bit more 80's and get a little George Michael in our life
