Rugby League: Super League Murrayfield Magic & Co-op Champs

[leespam]

Two for me this weekend

Crusaders (+14) to beat Bradford @ Evs (bet365) 2.75/5 Crusaders to beat Bradford @ 9/2 (Paddy Power) 0.25/5

I feel the handicapper may have caught Bradford up with this line. Only 3 out of 12 games this season have they been victorious with -14 while Crusaders would have had 7 victories out of their 11 games with a 14 start. They lie in an impressive 4th position in a h’cap-adjusted SL table and they come into the game with a relatively full-strength squad. Just feel Bradford still can’t be trusted IMO and with the influential Jamie Langley still out and over a 2 try start for Crusaders, I feel that is where the value lies. Also had a small bet on Crusaders on the outright due to the neutral venue – you never know!

Harlequins (+8) to beat Hull FC @ 10/11 (various) 2.5/5 Harlequins to beat Hull FC @ 2/1 (BlueSq) 0.5/5

Feel Hull look a touch vulnerable this weekend. Still missing Long, Fitzgibbon and Tickle, they’ve only cleared an 8 line in 1 of their fixtures away from the KC Stadium this season. They also lie 14th in an Overall 5 game h’cap adjusted form table while their opponents Harlequins lie in an impressive 2nd place. They also accounted for the leaders Wigan last week and seem to be getting a few influential players back from injury in the shape of Purdham, Dorn and Temata. The loss of fullback Jones-Bishop is a blow but I think they look a decent bet for Saturday’s game.

GL all :hope :ok
