Thought I'd start a thread for the weekends games. Any thoughts lads? Both lines look about right to me but I'm considering backing Bradford for small stakes as I reckon it could be another close game maybe settled on a drop. Don't know yet though so gonna have a look into it a bit more this afternoon.

Re: Rugby League: Super League Elimination Playoffs: 12/09 & 13/09 I did ok in the playoffs last year so hopefully I can get going early tonight. I'm on Wigan outright so I was reluctant to bet but I'm pretty confident my adopted team for these playoffs will deliver. Can't see it being as dramatic as last year though :lol. 10pts Wigan -2 to beat Bradford Evs Bet365 Given that they go evens on all handicaps I'm a bit surprised bet365 quote Wigan giving only 2 when most books go 4pts. I think Wigan will win this although I must admit confidence would be a lot higher if they hadn't given up home field advantage. Widnes isn't too far away though. In reality this could be Trent Barrett's last game for Wigan so I expect him to really turn up tonight. Tommy Leuluai and Pat Richards are quality performers too. I really like Colbon and Goulding from the young brigade too. Bradford could well have Platt and Morrison back tonight. Undoubtedly they are big gains and in Joe Vagana they too have a guy playing potentially his last match. Paul Deacon is massive for the Bulls and it's a huge boost that he's playing. I've backed Wigan outright for these playoffs before a ball was kicked this season and maybe foolishly I still believe we'll be seeing Wigan at Old Trafford in 3 weeks time. Bradford won't go down without a fight though and if the line was any higher I wouldn't bet because I expect this to be really close like it was last year. Wigan will be full of confidence after outplaying Saints on their own patch last week and they also have the extra days rest too. Bradford were a bit scratchy in beating Castleford which concerned me. This has the makings of a seriously seriously good game of rugby league. Playoff football intensifies everything and it's sure to be electric. I can't wait and I'll add to my excitement by taking Wigan to cover 2pts.
