Now then if ever a defeat against Wigan could have an element or two of positivity perhaps this was it down to 12 and for a small part 11 we still carried a threat and there was no doubting our effort more of the same (effort not indiscipline) will see us win more than we lose shirley.
To add insult to injury this week's winner was predictably King Ross 11 who amassed 17 points built largely upon the reliability of Marshall, Hill and Kendal. The rest of us fared as follows

In simple terms 'Oh we of little faith' as more than a few of us opted for a Saints victory and I'm sure that we were more than pleased to be proved wrong? Talking of faith I'm trusting posters and there's more than one or two, that they meant Hull FC when tipping Hull this will be a one off in future hedging your bets will results in nil points no matter who wins...
Anyway enough of the negativity who came out on top I hear you say? Well this week the honour goes to Walter Wizard who conjured 13 points on what ended up as a short and stormy affair (the postponed fixture can be re-predicted when rearranged). The rest of us were more Barry White than Gandolf the White as follows

Well I did say that this fixture was unpredictable yet predictably only prediction Matt backed against us picking up two points from back to back wins!!
Sir Adrian Morley took the spoils this week amassing a creditable 8 points the rest of us suffered by varying degrees as follows

Well I suppose a win is a win when all said and done, take the two and move on might just sum up the general mood.
Unless of course you are Gaz3376 and MorePlaymakersNeeded who will still be grinning and no doubt basking in the warm glow of Prediction Comp Glory whilst the rest of us attempt to take ever cooling comfort that we'll have another chance soon enough

Enough said as far as the result was concerned but who made the most of our debacle in Prediction Comp I hear you ask.....well he's the kind a guy that likes to post around he's never on one place he posts on board to board they call him the Wanderer yeah the Wanderer and he gets the bonus ten the bonus ten.....

Didn't catalans beat Hull? May cost me a point but true none the less.

Uncle Rico's ploy of being MIA again pays off as Wire secure a narrow victory but who in addition to Pre CV Tyrolean um pah bars profited the most I hear you ask? Well according to my reckoning now that the mist has cleared Johnkendal is this week's Franz Klammerr...the rest of us were more Eddie the Eagle-esque as follows

A momentous evening, Wire break their run of away 'form' and no sign of dither from Hull FC's Chairman as Coach Radford didn't even make the aftermatch press conference. Who was this week's winner I hear you ask? Well Rugby was the winner and I don't mean the sport in general despite Wigan's second half woes but Rugby the Forum's very own Roger Bannister who timed his prediction run to perfection with 8 points...the rest of us limped home as follows
