Another good week of Rugby in store with it being the 2nd last round in the Super League and the usual NL stuff too. Not many handicaps on odds comparison in the NL yet but I'll add them to this post when they become available.

Re: Rugby League - Super League Round 26 & NL 1+2 I thought long and hard about tonights matches. I would have been all over us had we had something to play for. As it is we haven't so even though I think Hull will go easy I'll give it a miss. I'm a big believer in trends and hoodoos in rugby league though and Wigan definitely have the wool over Leeds so I'll be taking them. 10pts Wigan to beat Leeds 13/8 Boylesports Wigan Warriors and their coach Brian Noble have a very very good record over Leeds and they'll be going for the hattrick tonight having already beaten Leeds twice in super league this season. The latest of those wins was just last month so Wigan know they've beaten Leeds very recently. The Warriors will have their string puller Trent Barrett back tonight. This could be his last ever appearance at the JJB so I'd expect him to go out with a bang. Pat Richards is a big loss mainly due to his goal kicking ability but Trent Barrett and Cameron Phelps aren't the worst kickers. Leeds will be without a few key players including Ryan Bailey and Scott Donald. Donald is arguably the biggest threat in attacking areas for the Rhinos so he will be missed. Such has been Wigan or rather Noble's dominance of the Rhinos recently I think they are a great price especially when we take into account they are the only side with anything to play for given that Leeds are highly unlikely to finish anywhere other than 2nd in the league table. With that in mind I'll back the home side here.
