Another week and another substandard performance (BOOOOO that'll learn you). Now that I've got that off my virtual chest, I can also report that Dita's Slot Meter again hit top spot aided by (I think) the first 10 points correct Wire Score as part of their 21pt haul. For the rest of us we need to contemplate our navels in the Coach's Box (spare bedroom) for a bit before facing our Aintie Rico's and hatching a better plan for next week as follows,

I understand that the forum is a 'hung parliament' on the acceptability of accepting a loss coupled with an improvement in application BUT we've had worse days....

Bolton's finest Wanderer pipped our collective's maths champ and time traveler MorePlaymakersNeeded to top spot this week with 15 hard earned. The rest of us need to up our game next week as do thge guys on the pitch...

There's a few lucky posters this week as I've gone with Hull FC when cited as Hull and I trust there would have been no dramas should KR have nabbed the points.

Still 'room' for improvement even with the new 'sheriffs' in town. A case of too many additives as the Errors outweighed the Effort I just hope those cut price Extras aren't put off returning to watch the Wire soon.
Another defeat and another successful triumvirate as The Speculator rubber duckie and Dita's Slot Meter top scored this week with 8. (Apologies to Douglas Black after watching the SL Show I realised that my previous Wigan reporting was incorrect).

The rest of us, well we can at least take solace that at least we won't be getting beat again next weekend.

Well that was a tough day out, a win would have been more than a bit handy if not quite deserved. The Speculator came out top this week with ten well earned points. For the rest of us, we'll just have to do better on the accumulation front with a big win against Saints next time out.
