I'm trying to pick out a few handicaps for a challenge cup accumulator but tbh there aren't too many gifts available.

I'm thinking currently:

Gateshead (-10)
Wigan (-4)
Castleford (-20)
Huddersfield (-52)

The one I'm worried about is Huddersfield, if it goes to form then they should do it easily but 52 is still an awful lot of points.

I was thinking a score around 64-10 for Hudds vs Rochdale, and dont think they should struggle to put about 10 tries past Rochdale, so as long as they convert them should be ok, Dale will only score one or two at best.

Hudds are resting 8 1st team players


Not sure which ones like

So it will be a young ish side out

Gone for all the handicaps today...

Salford -36.0 @ 10/11
Halifax +20.0 @ 10/11
Oldham +6.0 @ 1/1
Hull KR -42.0 @ 4/5
Wigan -6.0 @ 1/1
Warrington -26.0 @ 4/5
Rochdale +54.0 @ 10/11

About 90/1 in total. I think Wigan to cover the 6 points is a good possibility at evens.

Sunderland at 11/4 looks big to win at Bolton.

Sunderland - not won in their last 8 away games.
Bolton - lost 1 of their last 6 home games.

I flagged up East Fife to beat Stranraer about 3/4 months ago at 11/10. They won 4-0 away from home. They played them again 5 weeks ago at home and won 4-0. Today is Stranraer v East Fife again and East Fife are 6/5. Patchy form recently but I'd still be having a bit on it.

A draw does look more likely to me but Sunderland are still down the bottom end so form doesn't count, etc.

Sorry in advance if they win.
