Re: Rugby League: Super League - Round 3 Initial instincts: Shudds +10 Leeds +8 Bradford -16 Hull -6 (standout of the week!:eek) Cas -4 Absolutely no idea on Quins V Wakey. I was hoping after shipping 40 points last week against Hull and Quins drawing with the Bulls someone might offer a more generous handicap. Hull -6. What is all that about? Hull have scored 40 in both their opening games whilst Warrington have put in 2 very poor performances and still have big injury problems. This is a gift! Wigan have had a similarly subdued start to Warrington. Their defence has to be a worry after shipping 24 points to Leeds in the second half of the last game and 38 points in their opening game to UTC. I just can't see them beating anyone by a particularly large margin whilst they have defensive troubles so +10 is potentially a goer. Not too sure about Leeds +8 really. :unsure Cas -4 is an outstanding handicap. UTC have lost their star man and playmaker Stacey Jones and this showed last week when they came away without a single score against Salford. This added to the fact that they should be IMO favourites to be relegated were they not immune makes this a gimme. The only 2 I'm completely sure on then at the minute are Hull and Cas. I'll wait till later in the week for the rest.
