by Sorry for lat reults...had to work later than usual.
Just wasn`t my weekend. I thought that this round just HAD
to be the hardest to tip of all season....and I wasn`t wrong,
ending up with "nul points" ! Mind you, a few people did
worse rhan that! Not an easy round at all, what with
Wigan`s long-awaited revival not yet on the road,
Salford`s bubble bursting (?), the French managing yet
another away win, and Leeds continuing to miss Sinfield.
So I`m in absolute awe of those who DID manage to
make sense of it all, especially ***Tipster of t`Week***
RUSTY SPOKES
Who managed an awesome 11 points, and now takes
over at the top of the slippery greasy Ladder. Mind you
there`s a helluva lot of people still in close contention,
unlike other seasons when one or two in-form tipsters
ran away at the top.
Even those at the bottom (Yes, The Magician included! )
still have plenty time to climb back up the Ladder, so
the coveted title.....and even more coveted bottle could
go to just about anyone.
Especially if the rounds start to be easier to tip than
this one ***y was!
Bestalux, all :-)
