Rugby League: Super League XVI Round 11 & Co-op Champs

[leespam]

One for me in tonight's game Bradford (+4) to beat Leeds - 1st Half Handicap @ 1.91 (Skybet) 3/5 The form these two are in, I just can't bring myself to get involved in any of the 80 minute markets here. On closer inspection however, Bradford's 1st half performances haven't been without merit this season. 2 half-time handicap wins and a draw from their 4 at Odsal this season - only a 26-0 drubbing by Wigan in their 1st home game blotting the copybook. It's not surprising that Leeds are awful against the half time line taking into account their current form and reputation. Only 1 HT h'cap win away from home this season and they've lost each of the last 3, I'll take the Bulls with a 4 start here and wouldn't put anyone off backing the 40 minute price either. GL all :hope :ok

Bradford (+4) to beat Leeds - 1st Half Handicap @ 1.91 (Skybet) 3/5

Good start to a busy Easter weekend :). 2 more for me tomorrow so far Huddersfield (-18) to beat Crusaders @ 1.91 (Various) 3/5 Crusaders have demonstrated nothing recently to suggest they'll keep within 18 points of Huddersfield here. Only 2 handicap wins from their 10 games overall and a solitary draw from their 3 homes this season. Huddersfield are one of the form horses in Super League at the moment though. 3 handicap wins from their last 3 away from the Galpharm they also have only the 3 h'cap losses overall. At full strength against a Crusaders side missing Withers, I'll take the Giants here. Castleford (-16) to beat Wakefield @ 1.95 (Bwin) 2/5 Again, sticking with a form team in Cas' here. At full strength bar Youngquest, they've only 2 h'cap losses this season so far and are 5 from 5 in their home games. Wakey on the back of a trouncing away to Saints, they should be better here but they had a lot of defending to do last week - I can just see Tigers edging past the 16 margin late on. And one I'll take tomorrow as the price drifts... St Helens (+8) to beat Wigan @ TBC (TBC) 2/5 St Helens to beat Wigan @ 3.25+ (TBC) 1/5 Looking at the latest handicap prices, I'd expect a run on Wigan tomorrow. There's plenty to be optimistic about Saints though. Unbeaten in their last 5 games against the handicapper (3 wins and 2 draws) and they've only lost 1 from 10 with this 8 start. Wigan have suffered a blip this season and are winless against the handicapper at home this season, they also turned in what I thought was an average Wigan performance against Hull KR last time out. Gaskell is missing for Saints but I don't think it's enough to put me off here. I'll fill in the prices tomorrow. GL all :hope :ok

Re: Rugby League: Super League XVI Round 11 & Co-op Champs Last minute one for me. Wanted to check team news. 3pts Hull KR to beat Hull FC 7/4 Sportingbet Waited for team news and wasn't disappointed. Michael Dobson takes his place in this Hull KR side this afternoon and I think he makes such a massive difference to the red side of Hull that it's worth a play at these odds alone. Throw in the fact that Hull KR have a good record in this derby and won the last 2 high profile meetings in the playoffs last year and the Magic Weekend this year as well as the motivation of showing they can perform without Willie Mason and this should be a dangerous KR side. FC welcome Martin Gleeson into their side today for his debut and he's sure to pep them up as well. This will be blood and guts and everything on the line but when the final hooter goes I think Justin Morgan's men can make it 3 wins on the bounce against their bitter arch rivals.

Re: Rugby League: Super League XVI Round 11 & Co-op Champs Unlucky Kev. KR were great defensively, just a shame they couldn't have had a bit more possession.

St Helens (+8) to beat Wigan @ TBC (TBC) 2/5 St Helens to beat Wigan @ 3.25+ (TBC) 1/5

Managed to get 2.0 on the +8 (bet365) and 3.65 (Betfair) on the 80 minutes GL all :ok
