A bit of an odd week prediction wise not many had Saints down for a well deserved defeat at Wakefield and more worryingly our collective crowd forecasting is unfortunately optimistic. However, after all that there was a clear winner this week as easyWire took the points with a great score of 13. The rest of us didn't really get close as follows,
23pts easyWire 9pts Fatbelly 8pts Hatfield Town Wire 7pts vespid wire, Rugby 6pts Shazbaz, Moving Forward, Bent & Bongser, Builth Wells Wire 5pts Wire Weaver, karetaker, CW8, Wire n Steel, AC Wire, Iv Div, Moving On, eddieH, Alffi_7, rubber duckie, Walter Wizard, Wanderer 4pts Johnkendal, kirtonLyndseywolf, Uncle Rico, Gaz3376, ScouseWire, Sir Adrian Morley 3pts Old Man John, hot currie massila, Hicks is a God 2pts matt6169

I never win anything!
I’ve put a lottery ticket on for the euromillions tonight, and if I win I promise to share it with everybody in the prediction standings.*
Uncle Rico, ignoring the content of both of these submitted predictions (fictitious), and taking into consideration the fact that both lead to the same result, I was wondering whether you have a preference as to which format the predictions are given so as to aid in your formulation / input into the computer predictor. I keep copying and pasting the fixtures as you post them in order to complete my predictions, but if you would prefer just the answers (as per the second set) I can change my method of input (and maybe others will follow suit to make it easier for you)

Hey not a problem Iv Div and fellow prediction pundits, I enjoy doing it and without being a sad/nerdy I'm quite interested how people predict whether it's with head, heart, or with a spread betting mentality? I'm definitely and unsuccessfully a heart man, for example might pick Myler or Dwyer as last try scorers to spite us for letting them go to Leeds
I'm pretty relaxed on the format, I'm a cut a paster, the simplified version also works as long as the other games are in the right order (helps me to scan) I even get rubber duckies home and away method, Fatbelly going for try time including seconds and 'prediction matt' picking King when they both might play.
Glad you enjoy it, long may that and our current form continue

A Brilliant & Belting week for for our tricky poster from Leigh Bent & Bongser who not only saw his team wallop 'that there' London this weekend, but, pilled on the points with an impressive 19 point prediction haul. The rest of us weren't quite as on the ball as follows,
